forclore

Céder à l’identification du communisme avec la dictature totalitaire stalinienne, ce serait capituler devant les vainqueurs provisoires, confondre la révolution et la contre-révolution bureaucratique, et forclore ainsi le chapitre des bifurcations seul ouvert à l’espérance.
Yielding to the equation of communism with the Stalinist totalitarian dictatorship would be to capitulate in the face of the temporary victors, to confuse the revolution with the bureaucratic counter-revolution, and thereby to foreclose the possibility of those forks in the road that alone kept hope alive.
