DOWN WITH THE ANTI-POPULAR
GAULLIST REGIME
OF UNEMPLOYMENT AND POVERTY

On Monday 13 May workers and students, en masse, gave proof of their immense strength. 13th May was an great day of struggle against Gaullism. Workers and progressive students DEMONSTRATED AGAINST GAULLISM. It is no longer a question of fighting for small demands – bourgeois irrelevancies. The Gaullist state currently wants TO BREAK THE TIDAL WAVE raised against it and all reactionary forces. The Sorbonne? It is open again. The freedom of our comrades? Workers and students have demanded it.

SO, WHAT NOW? The mass movement against Gaullism, against the regime of unemployment and poverty must intensify.

THE WORKING CLASS DEMAND THAT THE SACRIFICES THEY HAVE AGREED TO, THE GREAT STRIKE THEY HAVE EMBARKED ON, MUST LEAD TO POSITIVE RESULTS. THE WORKERS WON’T FIGHT FOR NOTHING. 

Those who protest, those who strike, like those who haven’t yet gone on strike because they’ve been preparing a massive struggle in the factories against the onslaught of big capital – the great mass of workers aspire to continue the popular battle against big capital and its Gaullist state. 

The UNEF, the management of the CFT and of the PCF, GIVE NO CONCRETE POSSIBILITY to strengthen the unity of the people in the struggle against Gaullism.

The workers and progressive students ARE WAITING.

Do they want a parliamentary debate? No.
An adjustment of the bourgeois University? No.
Do they want the rotten politicians of the “left”, the assassins of workers, the J. Moches and the Mollets to profit from the situation and sneak into power? No.

POPULAR GOVERNMENT? YES. MITTERAND? NO!

They want a popular government that gives work to everyone, a university at the service of the people, freedom for the people. They want a regime where workers, farmers, all the people are the masters of the country.

They want to develop the popular movement together.

The workers and the progressive students want to support the development of the strike movement, working towards the common association of active workers and the unemployed, working towards the common association of French and immigrant workers, brothers in the struggle against capitalist poverty.

They want the struggle, under the guidance of the working class, to continue.

EVERYONE TO THE RALLY
TO CONTINUE AND DEVELOP THE POPULAR STRUGGLE AGAINST GAULLISM
The workers are in the front line against Gaullism, 
LONG LIVE THE UNION OF WORKERS AND PROGRESSIVE STUDENTS.

AT THE APPEAL OF THE COMMUNIST WORK GROUPS, OF THE UNION OF YOUNG COMMUNISTS (Marxist-Leninist), OF THE “TO SERVE THE PEOPLE” GROUP, OF THE SUPPORT MOVEMENT OF THE PEOPLE’S STRUGGLE, and OF THE DEFENCE COMMITTEES AGAINST REPRESSION.

SUNDAY 19 MAY
RALLY at 3:30pm at the MULTUALITE

LATIN QUARTER OR WORKERS’ QUARTERS?

 For three days we have been fighting around the Sorbonne. Thousands of students have fought magnificently against police repression. But we could stay in the Latin Quarter, isolated from the masses, without the bourgeoisie trembling; for them it is a lesser evil that all their spokesmen invite us to.

 What the bourgeoisie fear is that we will go to the masses of the people who have struggled for decades against the repression of cops and bosses, since the bourgeoisie know that the people are its main enemy.

 It is stirring in the factories; the workers are tired of all forms of bourgeoisie repression, they sympathise with the student struggle against the cops, but they wonder where it leads.              

 We will go to explain to them that we have joined their struggle against the repression of employers and police.

 The Sorbonne is an old pile of stones. Saint-Denis is tens of thousands of struggling workers.

 The cops may congregate in the Latin Quarter, and we can wait for them there. Let them come to the suburbs, let them come to Saint-Denis to try to prevent us from linking up with the workers. We will wait for them with the workers.

 THE CHOICE HAS TO BE MADE: KEEP IT BETWEEN OURSELVES OR JOIN THE FIGHT OF WORKERS.

EVERYBODY GO TO SAINT-DENIS TOMORROW!
MEET AT 4:30PM
