But a week later, in second round elections, a coalition of left-wing parties triumphed at the polls, denying Le Pen’s forces victory and dealing a blow to the centrist forces of President Emmanuel Macron.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe triumph of the left in France can in many ways be credited to Jean- Luc Mélenchon, who united the French left in a strategic coalition to defeat Le Pen and articulated a radical new vision for society. Now, the People! is a challenging work from Mélenchon that details his vision of revolution in our time, not only in France but around the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMélenchon embarks on a survey of human history from earliest times to the crisis-ridden present. He elaborates his vision for a new strategy for radical parties to reach the highest levels of government but also to transform the capitalist system in a peaceful manner: the citizens’ revolution.","brand":"Jean-Luc Mélenchon","offers":[{"title":"Verso Books |  Hardback  |  2025-04-15","offer_id":46391153295615,"sku":"9781804297940","price":39.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/files\/BNCImageAPI_6f2c6bae-5685-4089-a5a4-b53b9268b0ab.jpg?v=1733597121","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9781804297940","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
