Paris: May 1968

This pamphlet describes the events in the streets of Paris, at the Renault works, the Sorbonne “soviet”, the propaganda section at the Centre Censier, the march to Billancourt on May 16th, and it documents the changing line of the French CP and the CGT, and draws conclusions for the future.

  The black flag that flew last week above the tumultuous student disorders of Paris stood for a philosophy that the modern world has all but forgotten: anarchy. Few of the students who riot in France, Germany or Italy—or in many another country—would profess outright allegiance to anarchy, but its basic tenets inspire many of their leaders. Germany’s “Red Rudi” Dutschke and France’s “Red Danny” Cohn-Bendit openly espouse anarchy. “In theory,” says West German Political Scientist Wolfgang Abendroth, “the students are a species of Marxists, but in practice they are anarchists.” Not since the anarchist surge in the Spanish Civil War has the Western world seen a movement so enthusiastically devoted to the destruction of law, order and society in the name of unlimited individual freedom.
