I despise violence...but what is the violence of all these people and burned luxurious cars, compared to the structural violence of the French -and global - elites?
Instead of being hypnotized by the burning images, we have to pose the question where did it come from...?
And the answer is: it came from the rising tensions between the metropolitan elite and rural poor, between the politcs represented by Macron and the 99% who are fed up with inequality, not only in France, all over the world.
The true question is whether the disobedience can be constructive, what comes the day after, can the progressives in France, and all over the world, use this energy so instead of violence we have images of constructing equal and egalitarian societies?
