"Since at least the mid-seventeenth century, the concept of revolution has been an important tool both for those seeking to bring about political change and for those trying to understand it. And it is as relevant today as it has ever been. This volume re-evaluates our understanding of the history of revolutionary thought by examining a selection of key texts. These range from the 17th to the 20th century, and are carefully chosen to include both constitutional documents and theoretical works by figures such as James Harrington, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Maximilian Robespierre, Peter Kropotkin and Deng Xiaoping Each chapter engages with a particular revolutionary moment via a specific text, usually an extract of around 300 words, and considers the significance of the text for the history of revolutionary thought. The structure of the book allows readers to make connections and comparisons across the different revolutionary texts and moments, thereby providing a broader, deeper and more nuanced understanding of revolutions. Stimulating, accessible and interdisciplinary, Revolutionary Moments will appeal to students and researchers in the history of political thought and intellectual history, and beyond."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

How the idea of Brazilian revolution in the last communist left - which maintained substantial union insertion and the intention of social revolution in its program - and in the main faction emerging from the depletion of that last left is the core object of this book. As a result, this research highlights the events that culminated in the complete defeat of that left; defeat occurred through a double bankruptcy, id est, its theoretical emptying and, simultaneously, its physical death perpetrated by a genocide policy implemented by the Bonapartist dictatorship that began in 1964. In this book, the central figure, almost exclusive, of Carlos is defined Marighella (1911-1969) with regard to the thinking of the left of an era, especially the thinking of the faction that emerges from the communist left. This definition starts from the observation that, at first, Marighella was the personification of hegemonic ideas within the Brazilian Communist Party (PCB) and the national communist left for three decades; and in a second moment, the revolutionary had been the primus inter Pares in the tactical reorganization of the communist left, which was dragged almost completely into the armed struggle against the Bonapartist dictatorship.
