  • Can we have some of this in the UK too, please!

  • Amazing. Long live the international working class! Hopefully this strike wave spreads throughout all of Europe and across the oceans into the US and Latin America. We need a world socialist revolution to wipe out these bloodsucking capitalists that throw taxpayer money at wealthy bank heads while leaving the ordinary people to languish in financial destitution. Workers of the world unite! We have nothing but our chains to lose, we have a world to win! Solidarity from the US!

  • Good for you, France. Like most dumb-ass Americans, I can barely speak one language, but I hope you know how many of us support you as we watch our own elite rob the government and our citizens blind while our jobs disappear.

  • Well, what is called Socialism in France is a far cry from totalitarianism. It is the a political movement that has evolved as encompassing the moderate left and has provided France with the social services that are slowly and rapidly being dismantled by Sarkozy.

    In this case, the totalitarian is definitely Sarko who would like us to believe that he is single handedly saving the world even if he has to destroy the rights of the French citizens to do it.

  • Even with thirteen million - preferably staying home(don't give the pigs an excuse! ) - on strike in the Snakes,the KKKorporate media would ignore it or belittle it by,as usual,undercounting the number of participants!

  • Hopefully the French proletariat got my call for a Worldwide General Strike on the 3rd of April of 2009!Perhaps this is a milk run for something much larger......

  • UK Our Oil Refineres have come out with you Hopefully more on Monday ...I,m all for this but Socialism= Totalaterism ..British Libraterian until i die .Peace and Kudos to France

  • 2.5 million people were in the street yesterday. That's 4 percent of the French population, if America could ever be united and mobilized about anything, the same percentage would be al most 13,000,000.

    Personally, I think the UK needs a good strike. Can you people evewn fart without having on camera anymore?

  • If YOU don't want it, epl, then move to fucking Antarctica, cheeky prick that you are. It's a RIGHT of the worker to strike--WORLDWIDE! A FUCKING RIGHT! And, fuck that

    "we" shit. Speak for your own Anglo-Saxon arse.

  • NO we don't want it in the UK if you want it move to France.

    The French just love striking.
