In den Wochen nach der Wahl brach eine Streikwelle aus. W\u00e4hrend des damals gr\u00f6\u00dften Generalstreiks der franz\u00f6sischen Geschichte errangen die franz\u00f6sischen Arbeiter gewaltige Zugest\u00e4ndnisse von der herrschenden Klasse, darunter die 40-Stunden-Woche und \u2013 zum ersten Mal \u2013 bezahlte Urlaubszeiten!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Diese Ereignisse sind unter der franz\u00f6sischen Linken und der Arbeiterbewegung zu einem Mythos geworden, der in den K\u00f6pfen vieler linker Aktivisten und radikaler Arbeiter mit Sieg und Fortschritt verbunden ist. Aber als kommunistische Revolution\u00e4re ist es unsere Pflicht, nicht zu gedenken, sondern die Realit\u00e4t dieses Prozesses zu verstehen, die alle reformistischen F\u00fchrungen seit 1936 zu verbergen und zu verf\u00e4lschen suchten.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wir m\u00fcssen verstehen, was die Volksfront wirklich war. Warum brach sie letztendlich zusammen? Welche Bedeutung hatten die Streiks im Mai und Juni 1936? Warum wurden die meisten ihrer Errungenschaften schnell angefochten und zerst\u00f6rt? Warum endete diese historische Periode der Mobilisierung der franz\u00f6sischen Arbeiterklasse mit der Einf\u00fchrung einer bonapartistischen Diktatur unter Marschall P\u00e9tain? Und, was am wichtigsten ist, welche Lehren k\u00f6nnen diese Ereignisse f\u00fcr alle bieten, die heute den Kapitalismus st\u00fcrzen wollen?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Diese Fragen werden alle von Jules Legendre beantwortet, einem f\u00fchrenden Mitglied der Parti Communiste R\u00e9volutionnaire (PCR) in Frankreich. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Leseliste<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Leo Trotzki \u2013 \u201cEin Aktionsprogramm f\u00fcr Frankreich\u201d (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.marxists.org\/archive\/trotsky\/1934\/06\/paf.htm\">Englisch<\/a>) (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.marxists.org\/espanol\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/trotsky\/ceip\/escritos\/libro4\/T06V103.htm\">Spanisch<\/a>) (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.marxists.org\/francais\/4int\/prewar\/1934\/prog34.htm\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.marxists.org\/francais\/4int\/prewar\/1934\/prog34.htm\">Franz\u00f6sisch<\/a>) (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.marxists.org\/deutsch\/archiv\/trotzki\/1934\/06\/progindex.htm\">Deutsch<\/a>) (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.marxists.org\/catala\/trotsky\/1934\/06\/franca.pdf\">Portugiesisch<\/a>)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Leo Trotzki \u2013 \u201cDie Entscheidungsstunde naht: Zur Lage in Frankreich\u201d (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.marxists.org\/archive\/trotsky\/1938\/12\/france.htm\">Englisch<\/a>) (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.marxists.org\/francais\/trotsky\/livres\/ouvalafrance\/ovlf9.htm\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.marxists.org\/francais\/trotsky\/livres\/ouvalafrance\/ovlf9.htm\">Franz\u00f6sisch<\/a>) (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.marxists.org\/deutsch\/archiv\/trotzki\/1938\/12\/stunde.htm\">Deutsch<\/a>)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rob Sewell \u2013 \u201cUnter falscher Flagge: Stalinismus und \u2018Volksfrontismus\u2019 \u2013 eine Falle f\u00fcr die Arbeiterklasse\u201d (<a href=\"https:\/\/marxist.com\/britain-stalinism-and-popular-frontism-a-trap-for-the-working-class.htm\">Englisch<\/a>)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Leo Trotzki \u2013 \u201cWohin geht Frankreich?\u201d (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.marxists.org\/archive\/trotsky\/1936\/whitherfrance\/index.htm\">Englisch<\/a>) (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.marxists.org\/espanol\/trotsky\/1936\/1936-francia\/01.htm\">Spanisch<\/a>) (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.marxists.org\/francais\/trotsky\/livres\/ouvalafrance\/ovlf.htm\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.marxists.org\/francais\/trotsky\/livres\/ouvalafrance\/ovlf.htm\">Franz\u00f6sisch<\/a>) (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.marxists.org\/deutsch\/archiv\/trotzki\/1934\/wohinfr1\/\">Deutsch<\/a>) (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.marxists.org\/portugues\/trotsky\/1934\/franca\/index.htm\">Portugiesisch<\/a>)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Leo Trotzki \u2013 \u201cFrankreich am Scheideweg\u201d (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.marxists.org\/archive\/trotsky\/1936\/03\/crossroads.html\">Englisch<\/a>) (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.marxists.org\/francais\/trotsky\/livres\/ouvalafrance\/ovlf5.htm\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.marxists.org\/francais\/trotsky\/livres\/ouvalafrance\/ovlf5.htm\">Franz\u00f6sisch<\/a>) (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.marxists.org\/portugues\/trotsky\/1936\/03\/28.htm\">Portugiesisch<\/a>)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>J\u00e9r\u00f4me M\u00e9tellus \u2013 Die Volksfront und der Generalstreik im Mai\/Juni 1936 (<a href=\"https:\/\/marxist.com\/france-the-popular-front-and-the-general-strike-of-may-june-1936.htm\">Englisch<\/a>) (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.marxiste.org\/il-y-a-70-ans-le-front-populaire\">Franz\u00f6sisch<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In May of 1936, the Popular Front won the French general elections.
