Las revoluciones son la respiraci�n de la historia. En las crisis epocales, prosperan como ambici�n gen�rica de justicia, congregaci�n de sectores diversos en torno a un significante vac�o en el que cada cual vuelca sus propias ilusiones. Siempre hay muchas revoluciones dentro de la revoluci�n, y se dan otras paradojas ―este libro las explora― que complican el mito de la epifan�a de un pueblo que, persuadido s�bitamente del car�cter injusto del orden existente, se vuelve contra sus tiranos. Este libro despliega dos partes y es por un lado un paseo por las revoluciones pret�ritas. Por las chispas de su estallido, su evoluci�n, su fondo religioso, su vinculaci�n t�pica a adelantos t�cnicos cuyas transformaciones estimulan la imaginaci�n pol�tica, sus desencantos. Por la compleja relaci�n entre revoluci�n y contrarrevoluci�n, sus vasos comunicantes, c�mo ambas movilizan a potentados y menestrales. Se camina de la mano de una larga n�mina de revolucionarios de anta�o, de John Ball a Marx, de Graco Babeuf a los anarquistas barceloneses, de Lenin a Pasolini, de Proudhon a Castro, de los ciompi a los comuneros. Se mira, por otro lado, al porvenir; ya en realidad al presente, cuando la �ltima revoluci�n triunfante ―la neoliberal― comienza a evidenciar ruina, pero, m�s a�n, se ve periclitar la era m�s larga iniciada con la invenci�n de la m�quina de vapor. La Peque�a Edad del Hielo precipit� las revoluciones atl�nticas del siglo xviii, y otro cambio clim�tico precipita ahora la crisis terminal de la era desarrollista. En el futuro se pugnar� por aferrar el tim�n del insoslayable decrecimiento: ecofascismo vs. ecosocialismo. Se escucha ya el estruendo de la primera de esas dos revoluciones adversarias y predecibles. La segunda comenzar� a sonar ―se reflexiona aqu�― si la izquierda se desprende de traumas paralizantes, veneraciones polvorientas y escler�ticas ortodoxias y se relaciona con su propio pasado al modo de un buscador de perlas, que en �l rastree cualesquiera referentes valiosos, descarte los vergonzantes y elabore con los primeros el kintsugi, la reconstrucci�n, de lo disgregado en la Primera Internacional, en pos, ahora, de un decrecimiento justo y humanista.
