    Does anyone know if these protests are spontaneous or are led by organizations/parties? Also, looks like this is still tame compared to what happened later:

      LFI and other leftist groups have expressed support but have not actually, as far as i know, co-ordinated action or attempted to impose any kind of discipline or unified goal or command structure, nor to give serious ideological direction to the protests. So far it all looks like spontaneous action as a result of years of pent up frustration over deep economic malaise. Which is why, unfortunately, i expect this to fizzle out before next year and things to go back to status quo.

      This shows that in some ways the masses are actually more advanced than where the organized left is currently at. The masses are ready to take action but the left is not yet ready to lead them.

      Yeah, I usually don’t recommend to venture in twitter comments. If one is lucky, you could find some good comments and, if unlucky, you could find a massive amount of fascist comments.

        When I try to play the video from direct link lately, all I get is sound, so I kind of had to, to see the video. I read until that comment, then noped on out.
