Spurred on by reading a truly explosive student leaflet against the "ideological vomit" of chavismo and its followers in Venezuela, which is available on this site, I began looking for more stuff about radicalized students and found the ICC's Theses on the 2006 Student Movement in France. There are a number of good things to be found here: including analytical comparisons between how students and young people now (2006) regard their lives, work and education, and what was the case in '68! Young folk now come off best, being more thoughtful, more conscious of capitalist reality, much less needlessly violent, and much more prepared to reach out to workers, and the less priveleged and unemployed youths living in those working class prisons called housing estates, and thus reduced to pointless violence and destruction. (NB. The Venezuelan leaflet I referred to even regards the universities themselves, with their "liberal" or "Gramscian" views of education, as nothing but ideological prisons, and conditioning machines at the service of the bourgeoisie. Which of course they are.)
The ICC's thesis 17 on the student movement in France, 2006, and its proletarian nature, is noticeable for what it has to say about female students and their developing function in struggle
