This week marks the fiftieth anniversary of May 68 in France. It started as a student movement, but quickly turned into a full-blown political and generational clash. This period has become a cornerstone of both modern French history and pop culture. We take a look back at the events and discuss the legacy of May 68 for the French political scene and for French society as a whole.

2:40 Oh isn't it great that Renault decided to join the protests by switching off the machines! It even encouraged other corporations to join the revolution !
Oh, wait - that's not what you meant? Better writing please. We are unfamiliar with much of this history ! You just needed to add ONE word!
"Renault factory WORKERS..."
Yeah, you're not funny, just do your homework and shut up.
@@jakthepro1122 no that's a fair criticism as that detail completely changes the information.
😂 That was an absolute falsehood. The Renault Corp. Didn't walk off the job.
November 2018: When France took a stand again.
Le ras le-bol et l’enragement des français…
Tradition.
January, 2020 yet again
May 68 was a commie "revolt" with slogans such as "it's forbidden to forbid", led by socialist-communist politicians who used failing students as their human shields and with no actual legitimacy, don't compare that to the yellow vests who are an actual popular movement.
This is very interesting I know there were tons of reasons for the protests and demonstrations in France but it’s amazing to see events like Vietnam’s far reaching consequences all the way in Europe
Well Vietnam used to be a French colony and the French were at war there from 1945-54 (look up the War In Indochina). So in this case there is a direct connection. Although international solidarity between radical movements is also important.
I think we need to bring back mai 1968 style action and philosophies again. Not just in France but worldwide. People become too comfortable with the political right-wing and neoliberal class way too much
The alternative to the right-wing order is liberalism, not leftism. The left ideology leads to a dictatorship and poverty, like in Venezuela or the USSR where I grew up. There is nothing worse than a Soviet dictatorship. It was like living in a concentration camp.
May '68 started as a Commie student demonstration, but erupted in a full fledged rebellion that nearly overthrew De Gaulle.
Read Raoul Vaneigem & Guy Debord

Stupid oversimplifications like the one in the beginning of your comment do no justice to factual history. On March 22 1968 far-left groups, a small number of prominent poets and musicians, and 150 students occupied an administration building at Paris University at Nanterre and held a meeting in the university council room dealing with class discrimination in French society and the political bureaucracy that controlled the university's funding. Now calling that just a commie student demonstration is misleading
@@nevermind342 Correct. People like to simplify anything with large impact and either praise it without question or dismiss it without thought. Anything historically impacted should only lead to more study for a more well-rounded understanding.
1968: the beginning of the end...☹
for Europe....
cry more
send more tears

genial epoc

The day france died
History would repeat itself in November -December 2018,but this time both left & right united.
I put dislike on a video that promotes bored students that lived on their parents paychecks and that after having some fun rioting in a democratic country had eventually good jobs and now have good pensions. On the other hand in 1968 czecoslovak students faced tanks, army, police and many were killed, tortured and disabled having then a miserable life.
Why call for the release of unjust arrests. Pff pathetic
Okay boomer.
The military dictatorship of the French Fifth Republic also has tanks, army and MP to kill off bored students and lazy workers (as if students in Czechoslovakia were somewhat inferior and had to do part-time jobs?)
Btw, see how your democracy works in Democratic Germany, Democratic Korea, and Democratic Kampuchea. 😒
@@user-uh8fu3mb9l What are you talking about? I never said that the czechoslovak students were inferior. All I said that in a dictatorship is much harder to voice an opinion than in a democracy.I know this because my country Romania was a dictatorship too.
@@vaxuvax The students in Paris and Prague were fighting for the same cause and were standing in solidarity with each other. Playing some of them against the rest is a strategy deployed by their common enemies.
Thank goodness the silent majority eventually asserted themselves over this rabble
A stand for communism, yuk
Dangerous ideas that came from the USSR. In other words. Brainwash. A way to destroy countries
@@domicioannioulpiano6845 dangerous ideas like what? worker's rights? feminism? they were against the authority of the communist party, and the communist party did not join in with its union
@@domicioannioulpiano6845 I’m not a communist but don’t you think western “democracies” also had dangerous ideologies?
I can understand standing up for your rights and freedom but to tear up your own city is immature and stupid it does nothing but hurt you an everybody else because how are you going to live with a destroyed city
Crystal Berry you fix it after you accomplish your goals of freedom and rights
@@headsworthtg3585 did what happened then fix anything then no because they are still having the same problems so i still say it was immature to do what they did all they did is destroyed the city they lived in
@El Fenomeno For your information i'm not a bootlicker as you say. My parents will be the first ones to tell you i don't always conform to society i don't like to fit in but i have learnt to pick my battles. Yes you stand up for your rights but there are two examples in history to prove my point. Dr Martin Luther king marched and was attacked by police he didn't destroy the city he marched in he even took up anything that might be considered a weapon before the march. Also Gandhi did peaceful demonstrations.
@@crystalberry748 that's because they failed to achieve their goals. If they had achieved their goals, then rebuilding their city afterwards with the change they fought for would've been a worthwhile cost for the future of the people who'll live in the restored city.
Besides i didn't like De Gaulle anyway i would have boycotted in front of his office with other people. My point is it only put a band aide on the situation. There is still high unemployment rate in France for young people and prices of cost of living are still soaring
