If you read the article, it's clear that "leaving the train of history" refers both to abandoning communism and to not subsequently "changing train" to another 20th C ideology (capitalism/Freudianism/refined Marxism), instead choosing to subscribe to Christianity (understood as a conservative orthodoxy). So you're right about the association of historicism/Whig history with communism, but for Arendt that category (historicist ideologies) didn't just include communism. |
