I remember a time where we chanted in the demonstrations " One solution, revolution !" I hear it sometimes too, but much less. There will come a day when we will not hear anymore. There will still and always revolutionary, as it is still and always monarchists in this country. But revolutionaries without a revolution, because the idea has completely disappeared. Rightly: revolution has historically been a failure , successful past and that of 1789. All others, without exception, have ended in tragedy or disappointment. I do not welcome the revolution I also makes me dream when I let myself go, but it does not exempt me think. And I see his defeat.
What makes me say this? What is happening now in Tunisia and Egypt, winning Libya, Morocco and some other countries in the region. Besancenot went there, but he understood it was to mourn the revolution, not honor him? Since the popular uprising in the country is not a new episode of class struggle, it is conducted by any proletarian vanguard, he did not spearhead any revolutionary party, it draws no communism. It's called "revolution" by abuse of language by contemporary taste for hyperbole, such as advertising for his Citroen AX.
What do the Arab peoples in revolt? Democracy just good old democracy, parliamentary and bourgeois, they translate this slogan to the attention of their dark and bloody dictators releases! Nothing else than that, like in France in May 1968, when students shouted "Ten years Enough! "The human rights yes, but not the emancipation of humanity. Democracy is this: she does not care that power too long, she said that others would as well and perhaps better. In short, democracy is the alternation . Where it does not exist, this is not democracy.
past two centuries, it is not revolution advance (instead, it decreases) but democracy. It is no longer so much out here because we're used to, like the goldfish no longer pay attention to the water of his bowl. But what matters what story that democracy! Imagine what has long been the unthinkable: a political system that limits and divides the powers, by electing its officers by the people! It is the only utopia in modern times that has managed and is beneficial. The revolution has failed at everything and all bloody. One solution, revolution ? No, democracy!
Democracy is a current that is required in successive waves since the eighteenth century, which brought down the absolute monarchies, who won the 1970 in Europe and South America, and countries Eastern in the 1980s, Arab countries today and tomorrow in Asia and the Far East, for sure. The rise of democracy, this little plan of ancient Athens who dared not emancipate his slaves, engulfing the world has become obvious and hope. Marx is dead but Montesquieu, Rousseau and Tocqueville are still alive.
Good evening.
