NANTERRE, FRANCE—In an ongoing struggle against ruling-class oppression, the people of France again protested in a way that Americans are welcome to at any time, sources confirmed Thursday. According to reports, French citizens across the country were spotted hitting the streets en masse as a unified front against the institutional bondage that seeks to subjugate them while never failing to apply forceful pressure every time injustice strikes, which Americans can and should feel free to do whenever they so choose. Several reports indicated that while Americans preferred inconsistent and corporatized state-sanctioned forms of demonstrations in which attendees are allowed to “participate” by taking selfies with the very lawmakers who shackle them to their suffering, they were at any point completely allowed to follow in the French tradition and create organic public expressions of self-determination in the face of persecution. At press time, over 10,000 Americans had liked a Pride month tweet from Burger King promoting their chicken sandwich.
Looking at the timeline of France since the start of the jilet-jaunes protests I’m really starting to think that the French might be the most likely european population to do revolution
Riots and cops gettin owned are cool but like i said elsewhere there isnt even the most rudimentary revolutionary working class party and movement in France that could guide even a portion of that energy and chaos into more productive results and i dont see one in the near future. And the “im going willing to go to jail tonight for my radical ideological convictions and for whats right” is vastly overstated as a driving force or mindset behind the large majority of the people rioting. Situation ends up being mostly a chaotic and directionless violent release of pent up pressure anger and discontent by young people and oppressed groups while finding the joy in smashing and buring stuff and feeling ontop of the world. A vital part of any large urban populist insurrection against the state for sure but on its own extremely unlikely to evolve to even a May 68 revolutionary situation.
