50 years from Revolution “failed”

50 years from Revolution “failed”

It started out like something small and isolated. A group of students from the University of Nanterre outside Paris began a series of protests against the Vietnam War in March 1968. The conflict escalated in April when activists militantd into different leftist groupings and students of [the...] organisations faced among them.

University authorities called the quiet police, which sparked a disgusting response to French youth. May 3rd is the date when the global events of the French “” started, that day the Nanter students who stood among Daniel Cohn-Bend, joined the Sorbonne to give more visibility to what was happening. Police forced the movement into a bomb. Paris's Latin neighborhood became a war zone. Barricades set up by thousands of indignant young people blocked roads and resisted security forces. Student unions and teachers undertook a strike that would last for several days. Despite the injuries and prisoners, the protests continued and were more massive.

The phenomenon managed to escalate to the national level on 13 May, when labour unions staged a national strike. Moving ambition was growing. Hundreds of factories were taken from workers, and the industry remained paralyzed. The most radicalised sectors required “the empowerment of class society”. It was the largest general strike in the world, and certainly the largest in France with 7 million strikers in all sectors of public life and private economy. The crisis scared the government of Charles de Gaulle, World War II hero and founder of the French Republic. Ahead of the strikers' demands, De Gaulle announced on 30 May the dissolution of the National Assembly and legislative elections next month. His government offered improvement in workers' salaries. Protests were reducing intensity.

The government's party's triumph, with 38% of the vote, identified the limits of movement to transform French political institutions. If one argument were to be decided that 1968 was an attempt at revolution, then this is a failure. Was it really the purpose of a revolution? The interpretation suggests an attempt to produce a change, which, although seemingly normal, the events of 1968 were a very important turning point in French history. There's one front and one behind, said Chris Reynolds, professor of French and European studies at the University of “Nottingham”, England. The biggest challenge is to understand why the French “Mahji” had such a profound and timely impact on the entire planet.

One hypothesis is that it represented as no one else a phenomenon that described the entire Western world - a clash of unprecedented generations. In the 1960 ' s, societies were highly hierarchical and were operating from behind. Adults made all the rules, and young people had no choice but to obey. France's “Maji” was not just a national phenomenon, it was a global geopolitical amendment, a move against the Vietnam War that affirmed the status quo since World War II in free world and communist countries.

There was a version of the movement that described the planet. In 1968 there were student strikes in America, Brazil, Mexico, Japan, and Federal Germany, Belgium, Sweden, and Poland. This French magically French movement gave an anti-authorial turn to all social hierarchys in all sectors: at work, at factories, at universities, in art, as well as in the family. Youth was rising for concrete things such as war, state, and capitalist system. It is not easy to balance the successes and failures of this movement after 50 years. The most revolutionary aspirations in the political and economic plan were far from realising, but many of the social and cultural transformations produced in that century were the answers to that generation's demands. Some see it as a positive dilemma, a moment in which things improve. When important transformations are produced, there are people against and in favor.

Despite the pro and counter- important opinions, it is to appreciate what happened from the perspective of young people. In what respect did society evolve into the aspirations of this movement, and in what dimension were dreams cut off. The biggest failure was institutional, because legislative elections brought a wave of reaction to the National Assembly with a strengthening of parliamentary right. May 1968 was a fresh air for the French left, which could be politically minority, but was culturally dominant. It was a male phenomenon, and there were no female figures on representation posters, but two years later the women's liberation movement was manifested throughout France for equality.
