Yellow Vest Protests, Bank Run, Revolutions of 1848
The Yellow Vest protests in France entered their tenth weekend, with some activists proposing a coordinated bank run to destabilize the financial system. The current unrest is compared to the Revolutions of 1848, a period of widespread political upheaval across Europe. President Emmanuel Macron has criticized the protesters for demanding benefits without effort.
An RT segment titled "Going Underground" featured British columnists comparing the political upheavals of 2016 to the revolutionary year of 1848. The analysts discussed the overturning of existing global orders and the historical significance of the current era.
John C. Dvorak applies his 40-year cycle theory to the current global unrest, comparing it to the European Revolutions of 1848, also known as the "Spring of Nations." He traces a pattern of revolutionary fervor and market crashes through 1888, 1928, 1968, and 2008. The hosts suggest the "Arab Spring" terminology is a scripted fractal of these historical events.
