The Uprising in France

In this episode, Sam is joined by Ines, a member of the French socialist organization and publication Revolution Permanente, to discuss the massive mobilizations that have rocked France since January. They discuss how the crisis of the French bourgeoisie has created the conditions for historic class struggle, how the movement has developed so far, and why a revolutionary leadership is needed to break with the losing strategy of the French reformist left and the labor bureaucracy.
