  During the late '70s, the French intellectual denounced left-wing totalitarianism. This paved the way for today's postmodern, liberal, and moderate republican political options. This title argues that French anti-totalitarianism was the culmination of direct-democratic critiques of communism and revisions of the revolutionary project after 1956.
