Do revolutions always fail? مقال لماذا تفشل الثورات دائما ؟ ===================================== Issue section: Feature Issue: April 2014 (390) By John Molyneux The counter-revolution in Egypt, together with the confused outcome of the upheavals in Ukraine, has revived the old argument that real popular power is impossible. John Molyneux explains why this is wrong. The state of the world - with climate change, poverty, wars, racism and much else - is such that it is not easy for our rulers to persuade people that everything is alright. But they dont need to. All they need to do is persuade people that there is nothing they can do about it. This is why, when it comes to justifying capitalism, inequality and war, the mantra of: But you cant change human nature has always been popular with the powerful and drummed into the heads of ordinary people.
