An article by a guy who was a revolting student in Paris in 1968 says the demonstrators see themselves as heirs to 1968 and behaving in the same spirit. However, 1968 was about radical change. The riots and strikes in France this year are about keeping things as they are - SNCF employees getting early retirement on fat pensions, students being allowed to study for any course, regardless of ability or previous exams results.
