People have either to organise themselves to carry out joint actions or to reconcile themselves to their fates. But the passivity and submissiveness of the masses will not lead to stability, since the source of the destabilisation is the people at the top. In Europe in the age of the Holy Alliance it was possible to argue that the historical project of the French Revolution had ended in total defeat. But the epoch of reaction in Europe was followed by a new wave of revolutionary shocks, preconditioned precisely by the policies of the restoration. We are seeing the same thing today.
Reaction is a natural historical phenomenon, but it becomes exhausted just as revolutions do.
When this exhaustion sets in, a new era of change can begin.
