I found these reflections interesting. Since she was there at the time and doesn't draw any simplistic conclusions, I thought the essay might make an interesting HN post. It's a political site, but the article is not so politicized.
This one is slightly more ideological but still more personal and also quite interesting: http://hitchensblog.mailonsunday.co.uk/2018/05/some-reflections-on-may-1968-now-half-a-century-ago-.html http://hitchensblog.mailonsunday.co.uk/2018/05/some-reflecti.... I found it pretty consistent with Diana Johnstone's piece.
- amaccuish 8y agoThank you for this. It sad that these protests came to nothing. Marx is more relevant than ever. Do you have any good french language sources?

Socialist intellectuals have been moving the goalposts for decades, after failure upon failure to achieve their stated goals. http://www.stephenhicks.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/hicks-ep-chart-56-evolution-of-socialist-strategies.gif http://www.stephenhicks.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/hicks... To put it bluntly, Marxism has failed dismally in every place and at every time it's been tried.
- dang 8y agoPlease don't take HN threads on generic ideological tangents. The parent dipped a toe in that tarpit, but that's no reason to jump in. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- amaccuish 8y agoSorry was merely stating why I was greatful for the source. Perhaps I should have phrased differently. Sorry :)
