Maybe France will have an actual revolution at this point and people create a socialist government that works in their interest. We are living through weeks when decades happen here.
Yeah but i don't really see the protests turning into political strike, and i certainly don't see a revolutionary socialist party there. I suspect it would be at most changing one neoliberal government for another one.
My understanding is that socialists have a strong presence in France, and the current wave of strikes is driven by trade unions. There is a political angle to it, people are sick of neoliberalsim. I guess we'll see where things go.
