Poster – “Youth who are Refused the Right to Vote” (June 1968)

22 Friday Jun 2018

YOUNG PERSON

who is refused the right to vote

under the pretext that you aren’t an “adult”.

You are the one in the street making the State tremble,

You are the one that has shown that the “powerful State” was only in the fear of the oppressed.

You are the one that has opened the way towards a general strike.

It doesn’t matter if you are refused a vote today.

The big parties throw themselves at the carrot of the elections.

But you’ve learned that it isn’t in the polling booth, but in the businesses and in the street that the exploited can make their voice heard.

And if you want your fight to be more effective, if you want the ability to make your voice heard louder tomorrow

Elections

BETWEEN THE BALLOT-BOX AND THE BARRICADE
The winner is known in advance

PEOPLE OF FRANCE: The Republic only has the Ballot Box to fight against the Barricade. Can’t you see how ridiculous this is? We need to throw republican institutions into the dustbin of History. They are powerless and out-moded.

 * To avoid the spectre of civil war, the Republic once again throws the French people into partisan conflict and electoral competition.
 * France, and the sole interest of the French people, aren’t represented in the Republican choices offered to us:
  — GAULLISM: partisan, purifying, adventurist, dictatorial, technocratic and plutocratic, thus the best trump-card to communism.
  — COMMUNISM: partisan, totalitarian, foreign, tyrannical and revolutionary.

  Every kind of Republic has been tried: they have always ended in defeat, invasion, civil war or revolution. We must break this vicious and deadly cycle. France needs for its defense, a new, modern and suitable solution:

it exists : THE MONARCHY

THE NATIONAL RESTORATION
