Even the rightist peolpe were fashineted from the revolutionary spirit. Well first we have to recognise that all the changes wich happend in Eastern Europe and lately in Indonesia were to parlamentary democracy. In this sence we have come to the end of history. What revolutions need is not only social unrest but also a vision of a society where one should be moving. In this way for example Noam Chomsky is not right.
People just dont do changes without a vision.
Revolutionaries need a program for the mobilisation of people and also for the situation after revolution. For example in Spain in 1936 the anarchists lacked a political program which made the political situation such that the change for political revolution slipped from the hands of anarchists. One must understand that the old nationalization policy is dead if by this we mean centrally planned economy. On the other hand this kind of a program could be intresting in a post industrial society. Maybe the centrally planned economy could work with supercomputers.
