International call for developp the solidarity with the french people’s revolt !
Since the end of September, the anger felt by high schoolers in popular neighbourhoods of the Paris region has turned into a widespread youth revolt across the country, as well as in French colonies. The demands, which initially called for better studying conditions, quickly evolved into a challenge to the current system, reflecting the masses widespread rejection and frustration.
This uprising then spread to the universities, and subsequently to sectors of industry, at the call of various trade unions. Anti-imperialist organisations and communist youth groups, in particular, became heavily involved in the social movement. The same youth, who for three years have stood up against the genocide of the Palestinians, who have denounced the French state’s role in the colonisation of Palestine, the plundering of Africa, and the maintenance of colonies, are now helping to organise the revolt against the French bourgeoisie, which is responsible for the capitalist/imperialist system in which we find ourselves.
This movement, made up mainly of young people aged between 14 and 17, is facing a bloody crackdown. The whole world has witnessed the barbarity of Macron’s regime, which has sent in its police to violently suppress the legitimate protests of French youth. Nearly 7,000 arrests, 90% of whom were minors, pre-trial detentions, several people blinded in one eye, a 15-year-old with his hand torn off, dozens of fractures…
Despite this veritable war against the people, the youth are not giving up, and their ranks are growing every day. We are experiencing a fiery October. All of this reflects the revolutionary process in France. Revolutionary violence is the main feature of this movement, it follows on from the Great Uprising of June, which was sparked by the death of the young Nahel, killed by a police officer in 2023, and confirms that the masses are objectively and subjectively ready for revolution.
We must understand that the Socialist Revolution is back and that we are going to see the big bourgeoisie reveal its fascist nature ever more clearly. We are witnessing an intensification of the crisis of imperialism: growing poverty, preparations for imperialist war… In short, a whole series of events that herald the end of Macron’s reign and herald a new revolutionary period on the horizon.
We therefore call for international and internationalist solidarity in support of the French people’s revolt.
In particular, we call for:
- Organising actions in support of the revolt in France, to provide moral and political support to the rebels
- To publicise and denounce on a massive scale the repression by the Macron regime and demand the government’s resignation
- To build the revolt in your own countries, for it is indeed the global system that must fall
This regime is now held together solely by its police, international solidarity certainly has a role to play!
Long live proletarian internationalism!
We are right to rise up!
Anti-imperialist greetings!
