I am far from an expert on France or French politics and so was very pleased to see Badiou's thoughts on that movement. But I cannot say I agree with his conclusions. I suspect that his characterisation of the movement is fairly correct when it comes to their reactive nostalgic nature. But to condemn them for not waving the red flag seems to me to be highly sectarian. Whatever the nuances of their politics the fact is that they are being brutalised each weekend by the State and that moves me to sympathy at least. Clearly they are a contradictory formation, but surely if one was in France one would be supporting them at some level? comradely Gary _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: https://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
