A sick Mansa sits down with Comrades Vincent and Perrault, co-hosts of the French podcast Communiste en tabarnak!, to discuss the huge protests which erupted in France on 17th October. A huge outpouring of anger amongst students and other layers in French society, the protests culminated in riots of unprecedented scale and a new wave of police terror, with thousands of arrests and injuries. Have the protests put revolution on the agenda, or has the rioting provoked a right-wing backlash and strengthened the right?
