This is historic. These French high school students know their history and are paying homage to the Paris Commune: One of the world’s first self-governing workers’ states! The Paris Commune introduced major socialist policy victories for the people including free education, debt and rent relief, and worker-owned factories. The workers' state lasted for 72 days before it was brutally suppressed and violently overthrown by the French Army, which represented the bourgeois political forces of France. Here we are 155 years later and the same battle between capital and labor [the ruling class and working class] wages on only this time the people will win!
