May 1968 Protests, Paris. “Under the paving stones, the beach.”
More: Street Art and Social Movements by Josh MacPhee
“In Paris, in May and June of 1968, there was a student and worker revolt that brought France to the brink of revolution. Accompanying this revolt was a groundswell of creative street expression, especially in the form of graffiti’d poems and slogans and rapidly mass-produced silkscreened political posters. The posters often responded to the direct material reality of what was happening on the streets and in the factories, while the graffiti was largely more poetic and metaphysical, speaking to its readers on a much more emotional level. This counter-narrative written on the street not only attracted people because of it’s graphic power or sense of humor, but also because there were days at a time when the workers in French TV, radio and press were on strike. The walls were literally the only place to get the news.”

A. The object of sabotage and misappropriation, whether practiced by the individual or the group, is the unleashing of a wildcat strike.
B. Every wildcat strike must develop into a factory occupation.
C. Every factory occupied must be appropriated and turned promptly to the service of revolutionaries.
D. By choosing delegates (who are subject to instant recall and mandated to collate decisions and to oversee their implementation) the assembled strikers lay the groundwork for a radical reorganization of society… into a society of universal self-management.
