	Comment is free: France 2006 is not May 1968
		May '68 occurred at a time of full employment in France and the future seemed a vista of unlimited possibilities.
		Whereas May '68 was a movement which aspired to make people's dreams a reality, the current protests against the Contrat Première Embauche (CPE) are an attempt to bury a law which millions believe will worsen the employment prospects of young people even further.
		In May 1968, the State was the target of the students' wrath; today's young demonstrators look to the state to find ways of delivering them from a precarious and uncertain future.

		May was a cultural revolution without a political revolution, and hence it bad to fail.

		Though these incidents are specific to France, the May 68 events are also part of a broader set of political and cultural factors that were sweeping across Europe, Asia, and North America in the sixties: a zeitgeist of social unrest and dissent, oppositional politics, and revolution.
		As for the French Trotskyists, their expressions of solidarity with Ho Chi Minh may have been inhibited by the fact that there was good reason to suppose he had been responsible in some way for the murder of all the leading Trotskyists in Vietnam in 1945….

	Paris revolt May 1968 - an eyewitness account by a libertarian communist (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Yet in 1968 France was on the verge of a total revolt with 12 million workers on strike, 122 factories occupied, and students fighting against the old moribund system in which they found themselves.
		These 'diversions' may have infuriated some of the more single-minded revolutionaries, but they were as much part and parcel of the total transformation of the Sorbonne as were the revolutionary doctrines being proclaimed in the lecture halls.
		Writing in Le Monde (20 May 1968) E Morin admits that what is happening today in France is ''a blinding resurrection: the resurrection of that libertarian strand which seeks conciliation with Marxism, in a formula of which Socialisme ou Barbarie had provided a first synthesis a few years ago....''.

		Before May 1968, tiny minorities were engaged in agitation, and these tiny minorities were ignored by practically every political observer in France.
		But the originality of May-June 1968 was down, not to the student revolt, but to the generalisation of struggle, and the entrance onto the scene of the workers, from 15th May.

		If it disavows the appeal it will have put itself on record as reserving for students a right that it refuses to the working class; and in that case it is clear that it will no longer want to concern itself with anything but a Gaullist reform of the university.
		The de Gaulle regime may negotiate -- essentially (even if only indirectly) with the PCF-CGT [French Communist Party and the labor union it dominates] -- for the demobilization of the workers in exchange for some economic benefits; after which the radical currents would be repressed.
		Or, finally, the workers may take the upper hand by speaking for themselves and becoming conscious of goals as radical as the forms of struggle they have already put into practice.

		In referring to the circumstances of the publication of On the Poverty of Student Life, Nairn writes that in 1966 "a Situationist group got itself elected to the students' union of Strasbourg, and proceeded to dissolve the union," when in fact there was no situationist "group" at the University of Strasbourg at the time.
		Unlike both McLuhan and the structuralists, the situationists were active revolutionaries who weren't simply interested in the "subject-matter of communication and language." "The society of the spectacle" was for the SI a weapon of combat against modern society, not a way of acclimating oneself to this society or a way of interpreting history.
		"The local inhabitants [of Paris]," writes the anonymous author of Paris: May 1968 (Solidarity pamphlet, June 1968), "saw what happened [on the night of 10 May 1968], the viciousness of the CRS charges, the assaults on the wounded, the attacks on innocent bystanders, the unleashed fury of the state machine against those who had challenged."
