Now, the People! Revolution in the Twenty-First Century

By Jean-Luc Mélenchon

A major investigation of the possibility of a new type of revolution in our epoch by the leader of the French radical left

In summer 2024, France stood on the brink of a far-right takeover. But the disaster was avoided thanks to a New Popular Front of parties headed by long-standing left-wing leader Jean-Luc M lenchon. It won the most seats in the snap parliamentary elections, running on a radical, progressive, inclusive agenda, in large part inspired by M lenchon's presidential programme. Now, the People details his vision of revolution in our time.

In this book, M lenchon embarks on a survey of human history from its earliest moments to the crisis-ridden present. He outlines his vision for a new strategy for radical parties to reach the highest levels of government and peacefully transform the capitalist system: a citizens' revolution.

In this revolution, individuals come together to form a single, politically mobilised people. They assert their power over the collective conditions of urbanised life, against the oligarchy that still controls them.
