Why is it that French workers are always so fucking amazingly badman when it comes to protesting?

Just a guess, but the French did invent the modern revolution and I suppose they like to keep in practice even if they don't plan on doing it again any time soon.

They have turned it into an art form, that's for sure. It's pure entertainment and class struggle.

Time to show this to the Ameri****s that think the French are pussies. maybe FreedomFries was the right term, the french definitely know how to obtain freedom

-i did not intend to be sexually-derogatory towars gender by using the word '****' incase anyone was a bit put off by it. i was directing it towards the bourgeois and the nationalists/wingnuts of the us. im sure this disclaimer is a bit unecessary but you never know.

These kind of protests put a smile on my face, its good to know the workers are standing up and making their voices known; its unfortunate I'm not there to help out. American workers should take a page out of the French and take to the streets like they did in that video, actually putting up a fight. Maybe then the auto workers and countless others wouldn't be so easily walked all over on. Thanks for putting this video out here, it clearly shows the amount of frustration held by those workers, and reminds us actions like that are needed.

Oh please, don't remind me of that whole Freedom Fry BS stunt pulled off by the bourgeois a few years back. That was so childish wasn't it?

very childish indeed.

as for the workers of america. i agree. i think they need to be a bit more aware of their struggles. I myself am not a worker (yet) but, i see it within my family. :( im sure if they caught a glimpes of this, they would realize the true potential as a class and a political force.

The French do it best, always have, always will. I love the French.

Fuck me that was brilliant.
We need to stand up with our comrades; use the same action here in U.K

Yeah, the French are great! This old guy climbing up the gate... :lol:
I'm always impressed when I see the way the French protest. If I think about Germany... Germans would ask the government if it would be ok if we started revolution on Friday the 26th at 10.15 am and if the government would say "NO!" everybody would went home, slightly disappointed but well, a no is a no, right? :rolleyes:
But our "revolutions" were always lame, tame and unsuccessful whereas the French "invented modern revolution", as DancingLarry said. They are much more fighting for their rights and I hope that they will cause much trouble to Sarkozy untill his term ends!

The popular stereotype is that in Britain, if there was a revolutionary situation, everyone would flock to the pubs and moan about capitalism.

Theres a funny Splitting image sketch on this somewhere but I can't find it atm.

There's also a lot of Belgians in that video btw;) Most the people with 'fgtb' on their backs.
