Abstract

Karl Marx is told as an inspirator with great ideas. Marx claimed that there are laws of social development as well as the opening of secrets about a capitalist economy. Indeed at the level of theory, communism has a noble purpose but in practice many bad things happened. Lenin was the first thinker of marxism to bring marxism to actual practice, a revolution run by it to realize the utopia of Marxism in which Marxism in the hands of Lenin is not a philosophy of ordinary  economics.  The  Just  Assassins  (original  French  title:  ―Les  Justes‖,  a  more  literal translation  is  The  Just  or  The  Righteous)  is  a  drama  script  in  1949  by  French  writer  and philosopher  Albert  Camus.  The  drama  is  based  on  the  true  story  of  a  group  of  Russian Socialist-Revolutionaries  who  killed  Grand  Duke  Sergei  Alexandrovich  in  1905,  and explored  the  moral  issues  associated  with  murder  and  terrorism.  In  the  drama,  all  but  one (Stepan) of "Justes" is based on historical terrorists, described in Memoirs of a Terrorist by Boris Savinkov.   This study aims to analyze the thought of an Albert Camus about a rebellion which he says is not  as  a  form  of  resistance  of  the  proletariat  against  the  capitalist  in  the  specific  sense  of Marxian  or  in  other  words  that  the  existence  of  Marxism  as  a  form  of  resistance  to  the domination of capitalism. Which prefers to human rebellion in the sense of opposing all sorts of life situations that are sickening, or in other words opposing the process of creation that has occurred by itself. With another meaning that is as a form of aspiration to obtain clarity and  unity  of  a  thought,  so  that  in  the  form  of  a  paradox,  will  lead  to  the  level  of  form  and public  order.  Camus  believes  that  rebellion  is  one  of  the  many  essential  dimensions  of human nature. The Kaliayev character in this text provides a new perspective in the view of the revolution in order to bring out a political order or power existing in a society.
