Ep 37: Direct Action and Democracy in France and Beyond
This time I expand on the Yellow Jacket movement in France from different levels of understanding to dispel any misunderstandings or to layout the more important points to wants happening.

We may not be looking at the 2nd coming of the Paris Commune, but somethings happening.
