Based on the emblematic image of the explosion of a Molotov cocktail, a reflection is sought on the instant of the revolt and its fulgurant developments. The revolt seen in a phenomenal dimension, inseparable from the experience of the revolt, suspends historical time and is configured as an autonomous act, independent of whatever it may be. In such conditions, one can consider it as an insubordinate act, which does not submit to anything. It is, in a Bataillian conception, a sovereign act. But what would be the contributions of thinking about the revolt at the moment of its insubordinate realization? In this endeavor, perhaps a fulgurant thought of revolt will take shape, transfiguring the enemy, personal motivations, the collective cause, and even the self, joined to the emergence of another collectivity. In such an emergence, the instant of revolt realizes, in the refusal and contestation of a servile way of life, a kind of solidary sovereignty, in which the revolt is still in the name of all its own.
