France: The new revolution is here?

Look what's happening in France now. There are more protests this weekend. It has spread into Belgium and The Netherlands. This looks like the start of a world wide leaderless movement. Technology has evolved and it's intersected with history. People are sharing good information and now they see what's going on. You know what's going on. Am I right?

Didn't you already have a thread about this?

Even if it isn't just French people rioting because that's what French people do, the modern governments of today are way too entrenched for riots like this to overtake them.

"the modern governments of today are way too entrenched for riots like this to overtake them." - I used to think that too, until in recent years. The world is vastly different than ever before now and it's constantly changing, for the better I might add.

WTF are they rioting for? Frexit?

They have "had it" with waste, incompetence and abuse of power. It's neither left or right. It's finally something everyone can agree on. Another reason why I think it could be the start of a world wide revolution.

Well who is in power and responsible? I would assume its the socialists if it's France.

These things need to be more defined than "We want (generic) change!!"

Gas tax. They've also been "rioting" for about 15 years. First it was about Muslims, then it was about gas, then it was about unions, now it's about gas again, and it'll probably be about Jews or Muslims soon again. This is what they do.

It doesn't matter "who" is in power. What matters is the system of democracy is inherently wasteful, incompetent and abusive. It's a lot better than kings but not as purely free as being allowed to live and create your own life. That's what the people want. That's the third and final stage of the social evolution. Then everyone, everywhere can live in peace and prosperity.

Stop making repeat threads.

In the words of a Seattle band ...

In other words...anarchists.

Anarchists in the classical sense - people leading their own lives in peace with others. Not the modern definition which includes chaos.

And, how do propose this is going to happen??

(And, how are they currently not allowed to live and create their own life?)

A: No, you are not right.

As a consolation prize I do admit that you are a moron.

Exactly! And there will be no criminals, armed gangs or local strongmen either, right? Only peace and prosperity!

Moron!

This has already been done before : look up "classical" anarchist Gavrilo Princip.

Peace and Prosperity!

How? They're doing it now. But when lots of other people join in their will be more and more change. Look what happened today. Read the news. What did the French government do today? Read about it and post here.

How they are not allowed to live and create their own lives? There are numerous ways people are forced not to. How about compulsory education?

When there's genuine opportunity and people are treated well society is peaceful; crime decreases; bad mindsets go away. Culture does change and it can change for the good, especially when people are treated well.

He was a nationalist? What did nationalism ever do for Europe? Hmmmmm………..
