''But still the “totalitarian temptation”, as Jean-François Revel called it, is there''

Quote
Roger Scruton
How to Be a Conservative, Blooomsbury, 2014

"But still the “totalitarian temptation”, as Jean-François Revel called it, is there-the temptation to remake society, so that equality is imposed from above by the benign socialist state, whose good intentions can never be questioned since nobody knows what it would be like to achieve them."
