Socialism

By writing The Peoples’ Era in 2014—a revolutionary theory for a “citizens’ revolution”—Mélenchon performed a Marxist analysis of contemporary capitalism and its crisis. He redefined the notion of “the people”, those for whom revolution is now necessary. He shed light on the objective necessity to break with the capitalist order. This break, this politics of rupture, is perfectly communist. And this is the heart beating in all the work of the France Unbowed: to unite the people around a program of rupture.
