Jean-Francois Revel. French writer and columnist of L'Express, in conversation with writer David Caute
In La tentation totalitaire, published in France last year, M Revel, himself a man of the French Left, criticised the attitudes of many European Socialists towards Communism. The principal obstacle to the realisation of true Socialism in many parts of the world, he implied, is Communism and not Capitalism.
