ABSTRACT
It is scandalous not to recognize what is demanded and what is at stake in this movement [May 1968]: the will to escape, by any means necessary, from an order which is alienated, but so powerfully structured and integrated that even its contestation still risks being used by it. And it is scandalous not to understand that the violence that certain forms of this movement is reproached with is a response to the immense violence under the cover of which most contemporary societies are preserved, and of which police brutality is merely an open manifestation.
