I've been thinking about this for a while, and thought I might as well ask it in my first post here.
Is there any way that France's May 1968 movement could have escalated into a genuine revolutionary situation rather than fizzling out at the end of the month?
If it's any help, IIRC Tony Judt (who's studied the French left in some depth) claimed it was mostly a lack of a real sense of enmity towards the government that prevented strikers from actually attempting to take control of government buildings on the 30th when de Gaulle was out of the country. I don't know how true that is, though.
