And the French people make it clear repeatedly:
"The Europe of the rich. We have a president who's insulting us, and treating us like illiterate workers." https://t.co/gFSHU29ewC (video by @raulgaab) pic.twitter.com/pE7k1ZbJCX

The Yellow Vest movement is a widespread working-class revolt against economic injustice and the neo-liberal state. Exactly what the left should embrace.
I don't understand why any progressive is cheering French protesters who are amassing against a carbon tax.

When we see a "Center for American Progress (CAP), progressive, feminist," like Neera Tanden tweeting , from the checklist: "I don't understand why any progressive is cheering French protesters who are amassing against a carbon tax," and a correspondent for the "leftist" French publication Libe'ration, calling Yellow Vest a "movement of hicks" or a "band of polluting oafs, addicted to their cars, who need to be dealt with by the police," we are seeing the sorry, degraded, utterly clueless state of what passes for the left.
Neera should talk to, or have clue one about, Colette, age 83 , who "doesn't own a car, but explained to whoever would listen that the steep raise of gasoline prices would also hurt people who don't drive, by affecting prices of food and other necessities. She had done the calculations and figured it would cost a retired person 80 euros per month."
