by the forces of power as by political parties and so-called worker
unions and, to a certain extent, by leftist organizations themselves.
And we would no doubt have to go back in time even further.
The history of betrayed revolutions, the history of the betrayal of
the desire of the masses is becoming identified with the history of
the Workers' Movement plain and simple. Whose fault is that
Beria's, Stalin's, Khrushchev's! It was not the right program, the

evidence remains: the revolution was possible, the socialist revolution
was within reach, it really exists, it is not a myth weakened by the
transformations of industrial societies.
Under certain conditions the masses express their revolutionary
will, their desires sweep aside all obstacles, open unheard-of horizons,
but the last to notice it are the organizations and men who are

the result of an unconscious complicity, of an interiorization of the
repression, operating on several levels, from power to bureaucrats,
from bureaucrats to militants and from militants to the masses
themselves We certainly saw this after May '68.
Fortunately, the recouping and the brainwashing spared tens of
thousands-maybe more-who are now immune to the ravages of
bureaucracies of all categories, and who intend to retaliate against
the dirty tricks of power and bosses as well as against their
maneuvers of dialogue, participation, integration, which rely on
the complicity of traditional workers' organizations.
We have to recognize that current attempts to renew forms of
popular struggle are still hard to extricate from tedium and revolutionary
boy-scoutism, which, to say the least, is not too concerned
about the systematic liberation of desire. "Desire, that's all you ever
