      How is it that a country that has a history of being so based (Revolution, Paris Commune, First International, etc) also end up as chud as the Angl*sphere? Boggles the mind.

        I would say they had a lot of potential post WW2 , the communist party won at it's peak but American influence prevailed

          Mai 68 could've gone a very based direction, that was probably the last real revolutionary moment.

        It's easy, just remember the other side they were fighting lol. The communards called the third republic an empire without an emperor (or Bonapartist without a Bonaparte) for a reason.

          Right. Just like the birth country of Marx and Engels produced the Nazis, or the October Revolution produced the Whites. Hell, even America had Eugene Debs and the Wobblies.

          I suppose France just wasn't as good at curtailing revolutionary movements as much as Germany and the US did.
