"Politics in France":"Towards the new french citizen "Revolution" with "Melechon's touch"!

Le 07 avril 2012 par IVOIREBUSINESS - World history can record that the meaning of the term "Revolution" has changed over time:In the world politics, a wellknown philosopher "ARISTOTE"(1962) was concerned

with "revolutions" in the city states of ancient "Grece".But basically when "ARISTOTE" spoke about revolution, he was merely referring to a transfer of power that involved a change in either the individuals in power, or the constitution. Such a definition of revolution would not be accepted by contemporary political scientists. Meanwhile, the revolution entails much broader and deeper alteration of social values, social sructures and political institutions, as well as changes in the personnel of the ruling elites or its class composition. Whether these changes have or have not taken place within a society may take years to become apparent. As a whole, there are at least four main approaches to the study of political instability and revolution officially. Among those approaches, the "marxist approach" is closer to the current revolution of french left wing popular presidential candidate, "Jean-Luc Melenchon", who now claims officially the fench citizen "Revolution" in his own words. But "Jean-Luc Melenchon" seems to be not so far from "KARL Marx's "Revolution" theories fundamentally. But what does "Marxist Revolution" stand for? To take stock of "Marxism", We can confirm the fact that "Marxism" dominated the study of "Revolution" for over a century. In the same trend, "Marx" viewed "Revolution" as inescapable. As a matter of fact, the entire movement of history was inevitable and would culminate in a creation of a communist society! For "Karl Marx", when "Revolution" occured, it would be much more than just a coup or uprising...It involved the transformation of society from one mode of production to another. "Marx" further argued that "Capitalism", the prevailing economic system creates conflicts in society between ruling and exploited classes. Members of the exploited class become increasingly alienated from the existing order, and are drawn together by an emerging class consciousness. Moreover, once the exploited becomes sufficiently strong, it rises up and overerthrows the ruling class. A total change in the distribution of power takes place as the exploited class takes it destiny into his own hands and begins a new historical epoch! In the same trend, "Karl Marx" believed that when "Revolution" occured, it would be workers in the most industrialised nations for example such as: "Great Britain" and "Germany" who would revolt first! Down the line, the "Revolution" would not stop with the overthrow of the ruling class in one nation. In consequence, the international capitalist system would be unable to function if the dominant economy within it was eliminated. As a result, "Revolution" in the centre of the world economy would lead to "Revolutions" throughout the world! Yet, the lesson of history is that the exploited workers in the most highly developed industrial nations have not risen in "Revolution". Nor does it appear that "Revolutionnary" class consciousness has increased; If anything it had declined... Either the western proletariat has failed to undestand his historical mission, or the capitalist system has proved much more flexible and durable than "Marx suggested":Today, most of the left-wing european leaders are still using "Revolution" as a sufficient tool to raise the conscious of the eurpean citizens high:It's the case of french left wing leader "Jean-Luc Melenchon", who is becoming more and more popular in "France" by this time! Down the line, he will be unquestionably a great asset to the socialist "François Hollande", as far as the french left wing's political strategy of unity and solidarity is concerned in this current french presidential election campaign. Wait and see!
