But the disaster was avoided thanks to a New Popular Front of parties headed by long-standing left-wing leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon. It won the most seats in the snap parliamentary elections, running on a radical, progressive, inclusive agenda, in large part inspired by Mélenchon’s presidential programme. \u003ci\u003eNow, the People! \u003c\/i\u003edetails his vision of revolution in our time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this book, Mélenchon 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 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.","brand":"Jean-Luc Mélenchon","offers":[{"title":"Verso Books |  Paperback \/ softback | Trade paperback (US) |  2026-05-12","offer_id":47340717998335,"sku":"9781804297957","price":33.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/files\/BNCImageAPI_d814ec8d-0e01-47d1-b96f-9eaefc2f56ad.jpg?v=1760025028","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9781804297957","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
