This text presents Walter Benjamin’s provocative view of revolution, seeing it not as the engine of history but as an emergency brake for humanity, aiming to halt its course. This perspective portrays revolution as an attempt to reassess and redefine the future in light of current global crises. Compassion is highlighted as a potential response, uniting individuals in the face of collective suffering and promoting justice and equality. Thus, compassion could become a political and revolutionary tool, linking social transformation to personal liberation.
