Actually, to the point here, Godard is much more sympathetic to the Maoists than he is with the one being labeled 'revisionist.' Godard is probably more critiquing if anything Maospontax tendency in French Maoism, but Godard is well known to be on the side of the Maoists in regards to the PCF.
I think it's sad that a guy was trying to communicate his opinion and the crowd simply brow-beat and whistled at him instead of actually debating and countering what he said.
I think that's the point. Godard was WAY more critical than he was sympathetic. By taking a psychoanalytic approach, he showed the inner torment of these characters that led them to dogmatize their own radical politics....
Great film...Check out Bertolucci's "The Dreamers" or "After the Revolution" to get another take on the angst of the May '68 crowd

I wish more revisionist-led meetings ended this way. But I suppose the revisionists would say that's "sectarian," "dogmatic" or a barrier to "uniting all who can be united."

Would you differentiate between 'the angst of the May '68 crowd' and the working class?

I'm sure you would have felt the same about the Supreme Soviet!
