Democratic revolution and history

The main idea of this conference is to demonstrate that a democratic revolution is the most tangible manifestation of the principle of non-suffering in the unfolding of history. According to Victor Considérant, the aim of any revolution is to "conquer the emancipation of the weak, the suffering and the oppressed". This is what all revolutions tell us, especially servile revolutions, even before the concept is revealed. All revolutions attempt to answer this question: how can we eradicate injustice and remove suffering from the social condition? The revolution, in its concept, comes to answer this major question. The lecture highlights the main difficulty of democratic revolutions, which are torn between the aspiration to freedom and the aspiration to distributive justice, which are unfortunately not in the same orbit, but whose "revolutions" must necessarily be harmonized.
