Just recently InDefense of Marxism republished a piece by a French page Revolution: International Marxist Tendency. The piece is in support of the Yellow Vest protests in France. Essentially, by using the words of Lenin they claim that France is on the verge of a communist revolution. Frankly, their view is wholly utopian and short-sighted. We often see this with first worldists. As soon as something happens they immediately jump at the claim that “revolution is upon us!” Every time they are let down by their own irrational exuberance. Let us look at the most recent upheaval.
