Abstract

History has taught us that there is no direct link between economic crisis and political revolution. Thefailure of Soviet socialism and the failure of European social-democracies can be traced to a commonorigin : the lack of intervention by the popular masses in the processes of social transformation whichhave been monopolised by the bureaucratic or technocratic elites. For want of a genuine democratisation of the political representation and of the modes of government, state centralisation has createda persistent fracture between a caste of professional politicians and the mass of citizens, workers, andrecipients. A new bond must be created between the social movement “from below” and the instancesof political representation.
