1968 – oprørsåret / Year of Rebellion

1968 er et begreb, udsat for had og hetz, men for os et oprørsår på linje med 1918, 1956, 1989 – og sidst 2011.

Året 1968 stod selvfølgelig ikke alene, mange begivenheder var bygget op i årene forud, men begivenhederne alene i kalenderåret 1968 berettiger til at tale om oprørsåret fra januar og frem gennem året (se Tidslinjen 1968 for begivenheder i årets løb).

Året ’68 var også åbningen for de klassekampe og ændringer der skete i årene frem til midten af 70’erne, både i Vest- og Østeuropa, men også året for afgørende begivenheder i de fleste industrialiserede lande. Denne linksamling focuserer på artikler mv., der omhandler året ’68 generelt og for perioden, hvor ’68 blev set som en åbning og begyndelse.

I en svensk kontekst er det i sig selv spændende, men bogen kan også være med til at perspektivere den sideløbende historie i Danmark.​​” P.t. ikke online.

1968: året der forandrede alting. Af Alan Maass (Socialistisk Arbejderavis, nr.369, 19. november 2018). “Tet-offensiven i Vietnam. Mordet på Martin Luther King. Maj i Frankrig. Foråret i Prag.

Forskningslitteraturen forklarer ‘1968’ som at være sat iværk af den første globale ungdomsgeneration.

Hvad stod 68-oprøret for?: en kommentar fra en venstreradikal. Af Alfred Lang (Autonom Infoservice, 3. maj 2018). “Skønt oprøret omkring 1968 ikke førte til de radikale samfundsforandringer, som oprørerne havde håbet på, så efterlod det alligevel dybe spor i tiden efter. 68-oprøret satte således gang i et hav af nye sociale bevægelser og antikapitalistiske projekter.”

Maj 68: Der er slået en revne. Lad os gøre den bredere. Af Jan Malewski (Socialistisk Information, 3. juni 2008). “Maj 1968 i Frankrig – med studenteroprøret og generalstrejken, som efterfulgte de unges gadekampe i Latinerkvarteret – var kulminationen på de anti-kapitalistiske, anti-imperialistiske og anti-bureaukratiske mobiliseringer over hele verden.”

Maj 68: ’Mere plads i dag til en anti-kapitalistisk venstrefløj end dengang’ (Socialistisk Information, 28. maj 2008). Interview med Alain Krivine, en af veteranerne fra det franske 68-oprør: “I 1968 var den yderste venstrefløj en lille organisation blandt studenterne, men uden nogen forankring i arbejderklassen.

1968: 50 years since the global revolt (International Socialist Review, Issue 111, Winter 2018-19, 137 p.). “1968 marked a period when millions resolved to change the world, and hundreds of thousands of them joined or founded socialist organizations. Remembering that era and drawing its lessons is a central focus of this issue of the ISR.”

50 years after May 68 (pdf) (Crisis and Critique, Vol.5, No.2, 2018, 379 p.). “In the current issue, we and our contributors set out to do the following: we want to undertake an investigation and examination of May ’68’s, often if not always, ambiguous, sometimes even contradictory, foundations, effects, and outcomes.”

Worldwide “Moment of Madness”. By Gerd-Rainer Horn (Against the Current, Issue 196, September-October 2018). “The year 1968 marked one of those exceptional ‘moments of crisis and opportunity’ that periodically occur throughout history and leave a lasting mark on societies.”

But despite their volcanic character it is clear, looking back, that the eruptions of 1968 did not come out of the blue.”

‘It was like a rocket: a fantastic display’: Reflections on May ’68. By Colin Barker (RS21: Revolutionary Socialism in the 21st Century, 28 May 2018). “In a speech to Manchester rs21 reflects on the ‘madness of May ‘68’, when, for a brief moment, everything seemed possible … the key lesson of it is that the spontaneous movement … wasn’t enough to win.” With link to an interview with Colin Barker: IS in the 60s: May 68 and after (RS21, 6 August 2015).

The meaning of May 1968. By Charles Paz, Jean-Francois Cabral (International Viewpoint, Issue 401, May 2008). “May 1968 was the catalyst for the emergence of a new political and social generation.

1968: Year of revolutionary hope. By Joel Geier (International Socialist Review, Issue 59, May–June 2008). “In the 1960s the radicalization started inside the United States.

1968: the year the monolith cracked. By Jonathan Neale (Socialist Review, Issue 219, May 1998). “Several things stand out about 1968. It was a world movement. It began with a crisis of the old orders. Because it exploded into a rigid and reactionary world, it produced great hope.”

The fire last time (New Statesman, 22 April 1988; online at Internet Archive). “A 1968 anniversary industry is springing up; but, argues Paul Foot, it takes a revolutionary to ask the most illuminating questions about that revolutionary time.”
