Abstract

The article argues three ideas: One of them: Why do we commemorate a process that took place a Century ago, and gave way to a project of a society that has collapsed a quarter of a century ago? Because that October Revolution opened a whole ´change of epoch´, still happening. The second one: That such ´changes of epoch´ until they “ripen” and culminate, besides its advances and backdrops, occur through different phases and actualize themselves in different social domains of the societies that implement them. The third one: That when any Century (as the XXth Century) witness the emergence of the initial intents –“social experiments”– of building a society different from the predominant one, it is only a matter-of-time, but historical time (that is not measured by days or months, but by quarter and half Centuries), until, learning from previous errors and failings, such a new way of organizing society takes place.
