The ironic thing being that they're singing about a revolt that failed when the students involved left the barricades and went home for the summer. To other college students. Historical fetishism. Restrategize.
it doesn't matter if a particular set of protests "failed". victory is ours anyway because of somehting wider that was happening and still is. the protests were just a literal manifestation, of course it will fall apart eventually. "68" signals something else, a whole new way of thinking and doing, you know this. i don't think it is historical fetishism, its just putting oneself in a broad tradition of thought, something which is new for a hc to do.

Debord still is always right.
Debord still is always right.
"The images detached from every aspect of life fuse in a common stream in which the unity of this life can no longer be reestablished. Reality considered partially unfolds, in its own general unity, as a pseudo-world apart, an object of mere contemplation. The specialization of images of the world is completed in the world of the autonomous image, where the liar has lied to himself. The spectacle in general, as the concrete inversion of life, is the autonomous movement of the non-living."
