The Theory of Revolution According to Bakunin

ABSTRACT :At the dawn of the third millennium, the question of revolution was at the center of debate. This problem, as we can underline, brings Bakunin back to life. A nineteenth-century author, Bakunin is in this century, through the importance of his work, a benchmark with regard to the epistemic requisite about the revolution. Thus, the theory of revolution as expounded by this thinker is a theory that emphasizes on anarchism. The revolution is, according to Bakunin, capital for the emancipation of mankind. Human well-being and development are only possible if, through a violent revolution, the proletariat overthrows the middle class. The revolution that Bakunin encourages is certainly violent, but it is far from terror. Terror unlike Bakunin’s violent revolution, contributes not to the liberation of man, but to his destruction. By its violent nature, the objective, the role of the revolution, is the liberation of the working masses who languish under the domination of the bosses. This will be the condition for the advent of what Bakunin calls libertarian socialism, which is humanizing the value for man. But, the idea that we want to bring out here is that, according to which, the revolution contributes only to the destruction of man. For that, we propose an approach whovalorize the dialogue to solve the problems of domination and the crisis.
