The reflection of Angelo Tasca (1892-1960), a communist who became a supporter of the Vichy regime, illustrates the possible shift from myth to utopia. Tasca relied, first and foremost, on the Sorelian myth which saw the war as the proletariat’s “negative myth”, then tried to find a myth that could accompany the communist revolution. At that time, he realized that the construction of socialism in Russia was, in his words, a “20th century scientific utopia”. His thought was imbued with utopianism during the 1930s and 1940s, from the governmental plans, which he called on socialists to put forward “as if” they were in power, to his project of a communitarian revolution, which he exposed in Vichy. He gradually moved away from the reflection of Georges Sorel, all the while draping these utopian projects – whose feasibility mattered less than their ability to mobilize people – in certain aspects of the Sorelian myth.
