In the summer of 2024, France was on the brink of a takeover by the far right. However, disaster was averted thanks to a New People's Front of parties led by the long-time leftist leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon. The party won the most seats in the early parliamentary elections, presenting a radical, progressive, and inclusive agenda, largely inspired by Mélenchon's presidential program. In the book "The People!", Mélenchon elaborates on his vision for a revolution in our time. In this book, Mélenchon undertakes a review of human history from its early steps to the present, plagued by crises. He describes 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. In this revolution, people unite to create a cohesive, politically mobilized populace. They claim their power over the collective conditions of urban life, against the oligarchy that still controls them.
