BREAKING: MASSIVE UNREST IN FRANCE AGAINST GLOBALIST DICTATORSHIP! is an Infrared live stream from Friday March 24, 2023.[1] This issue is also being simultaneously covered by the Jimmy Dore Show.[2]
Notes
- More than 1M people protested against Macron's proposed pension reforms which increase the retirement age
- The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) in South Africa were the inspiration for Infrared
- The EFF correctly identifies monopoly capital as the enemy in South Africa
- The way to address inflation is to increase production, according to Khomeini in Iran[citation needed]
- Macron says he wants to increase productivity, but isn't focusing on industrial growth, he's focusing on tech startups and bullshit jobs like baristas. These startups are a front for financial speculation. France is ruled by monopoly capital, the banks.
- Hilarious clip of Macron removing his 80k watch during an interview after he realizes it might be unpopular to flaunt wealth while discussing impoverishing the French people
- Macron blames the crisis on the people, this will soon become the narrative of the US government. (e.g. "we need to reduce consumption to protect the environment")
- Macron was only elected because of fearmongering against Le Pen, kinda like how America installed fascist Joe Biden to prevent Trump's election
- Jean-Luc Mélenchon told people to vote for Macron instead of Le Pen, similar to how Bernie was sheepdogging his supporters into voting for the corrupt Democratic Party.
- It's uncertain if popular unrest will translate to actual political change, since the commoners lack any sort of institutional power or Dual Power apparatus.
- This could be an example of Jehuism in action, the people see an expansion of the productive forces which hasn't corresponded to increase in free time.
- A 21st century minimum program will likely include: Rapid re-industrialization, abolition of the service economy, more free time for all, basic income
- French media compares these protests to January 6th
- When protests happen in the periphery, the Western media supports the protestors (Iran, Hong Kong, etc.). When protests happen in the imperialist core, the Western media screeches hysterically. (USA Jan 6, France)
Migration to Rumble
YouTube was being sus, so the stream migrated to Rumble.[3]
- Why should we Americans care about what's going on in France? Because this banker dictatorship is coming here too.
- Investigate the facts about Pol Pot and Cambodia (this isn't allowed on YouTube, W Rumble)
- Debating Frantz_Anon in Brooklyn, NY
- Stonewall was a lumpenproletariat riot of the declassed
- Debate about whether or not Saudi Arabia is a pole in the new multipolar world
