Que François Hollande soit menteur, fourbe, servile, et que son projet soit glauque, est-ce une raison pour nous condamner à ne penser qu à lui et au risque de los angeles disparition de l idée de gauche qu il a usurpée ?
Je suggest de voir plus loin que l horizon désespérant du présent. Regardons le monde fascinant qui s est constitué sous nos yeux en quelques décennies.
Un monde plein d êtres humains, couvert de villes, où l profession de l. a. mer elle-même a débuté. Mais un monde engagé dans un changement climatique irréversible et un bouleversement de los angeles hiérarchie des puissances qui menacent l life même de los angeles civilisation humaine.
Un monde où surgit un acteur nouveau : le peuple.
Les puissants se moquent de lui, le méprisent, lui bourrent le crâne et insultent tous ceux qui lui donnent l. a. priorité.
Mais si les puissants n ont plus peur de los angeles gauche édentée par Hollande, ils ont plus peur que jamais du peuple. Sa révolution citoyenne peut tout changer, en commençant par faire entrer los angeles France dans los angeles 6^e République.
