Every ten years, the French commemorate May 68 as a major event of their recent history. Some remember the students’ rebellion against authority, some prefer celebrating the workers’ movement, while others still stress the social and cultural revolution spurred in May 68. Most of them omit the political meaning of May 68, a quintessentially French idea called “Revolution”. Forty years later, the question “How can we live together in freedom?” still nags the political heirs of May 68. They continue to think that it is possible to build “another world”, a world of social justice.
