          Listen to what was being said about those young afro-français (“noir” de France, whatever) participating in the protests.

          Also, have you even been in Paris? Don’t be a cynic if you live there.

          I wouldn’t waste your time, if you go through their history their bias is clear. The French could overthrow their government tomorrow and replace it with a socialist (or communist) one and they would immediately what about it.

          They seem to care more about someone’s nationality than their actions

            I care about social debt from a society that exploits others. Later in life, Marx realized the importance of the national question. You also should. Or insist in the failed “eurocommunism”, I dunno. You do you.

              IDK man you’re watching a video of people beating up the police clearly trying to remove power from systems you’re against and this is what you come up with

                They have my critical support. Critique is due before and after a societal change. That’s the way of the Left. Uberized workers and oppressed African expats have my full sympathy.

                  Just those working for Uber and not the rest of the French working class?

                  To me it seems that you are seeking enemies instead of building any real solidarity. When I say “God I love the French” I’m clearly talking about the working class French that are engaged in these demonstrations. I am not talking about the Republic of France or the French bourgeoisie.

                  The vast majority of those out protesting would likely agree with your views on Gaza and French (the republic) colonialism.

                  Instead of celebrating the working class taking action to dismantle the system you choose to shit on them for the crimes of the elite

                    The petit bourgeoisie and aristocratic working class categories exist for a reason. The welfare states were funded on Global South exploitation. These kids and workers need to be informed now. You’re defending the privileged ones here. The Global North patting themselves on the back as always. Just accept my critical support until I see true international solidarity. As I said, there’s a debt.
