On the anniversary of the Paris Commune, the French working class and youth in the streets across France fight against the pension reform
On March 18, 1871, a real revolution was victorious in the capital of France that was imposed by the Paris Commune, the first experience of the working class in power.
Today, 142 years later, the working class Is facing the imperialist bourgeoisie that seeks to impose the living and working conditions of the end of the 19th century, trying to make the workers, by means of the pension reform that the government has just imposed by decree, leave their sweat, muscles and bones in the factories for longer to produce the wealth that a handful of bourgeois steals from them.
For the last 3 days, the working class has surpassed all control of its leaderships, and the youth has been at the forefront of the confrontation with the repressive forces. In cities like Nantes, Lyon, Strasbourg and Paris, the crashes are violent.
In Paris, in the historic Place de la Concorde, where in 1789 the French Revolution put the parasites of the monarchy to the guillotine, today they sang " We beheaded Louis XVI... Macron, we can start again!" And there for two consecutive nights the youngsters staged a true pitched battle against the police.
In the midst of a banking crisis that exposes the voracious parasitism of financial capital, amid massacres and wars such as in Syria and Ukraine, in the midst of thousand hundreds of immigrants drowning in the seas or jammed in overcrowded trucks and shot at the borders of the imperialist countries... The exploited of France show once again the way forward!
This rotten system deserves to die!
Let the Paris Commune return!
