Political reflections on the conditions of a seizure of power
by the proletariat. We can see the contradiction
of the revolutionary crowd: its demands will
only be fulfilled if it takes over the power.
(…) Thus, the mobs do not have any chance
to seize the authority alone: they need allies,
a precise strategy and political background
to succeed, which they do not have. (…) Still,
the consequences could suddenly be in its
favor: but its victory would cause such a
disruption between the international forces
that it might provoke a direct intervention or
indirectly foreign. We have to appreciate the
opportunities of this revolution.
