I enjoyed the short book written by Kadour NaĂŻmi called "Freedom in Solidarity" about his time in France during the #May1968 uprising. His position as a Maoist (of sorts) and Algerian immigrant give him a fascinating perspective, and he's rather reflexive about those experiences. I particularly enjoyed the final chapter which describes the life-long impact the uprising had upon him: his involvement in #unions and #self-management initiatives, and radical #theater and writing. #Reading #AKPress

BTW

fascists are incapable of using the post #Mai68 #May1968 pedagogy we know as “desconstruction” so they’ve ramped up their cooptation.

i scream every time i see American media parroting Bannon’s very deliberate appropriation of what are basically antifascist educational techniques

this is the same with their appropriation of “grooming”: they know it is the cornerstone of all cult-like indoctrination, especially fascism.

so they're trying to delegitimize awareness with transphobia.

An excellent discussion about the May 1968 French protests, what was really behind them but, most importantly, what they really mean for us today.

Two fascinating documents on the #May1968 revolt in Paris…

1. A 96-page Students for a Democratic Society magazine (CAW!) co-edited with Mouvement 22 Mars detailing the revolt with numerous translated documents: https://www.sds-1960s.org/caw3-1968-fall.pdf

One of the most fascinating "film essays" & works of personal & collective #memory is #ChrisMarker's film, A GRIN WITHOUT A CAT (below is the 1993 re-edited version of the even longer 1977 film).

The #French, to this day, are both haunted by & inspired by the heady days of #May1968. What has become of the #Left? Where does #Socialism stand today? How are we to interpret the past? What hope for the future?

"All Power to the Imagination": Paris, May 1968: The Student Revolt

YouTube

"The marvellous movement of the French workers thus ended in defeat. But the traditions of May 1968 remain in the consciousness of the workers of France and the whole world. Today, after a long period of economic boom, the capitalist system is again entering into a crisis in which all the contradictions that have been building up for the last 20 years will come to the fore. Big class battles are on the order of the day all over Europe."
