Very unique image showing the use of barricades by the popular movements during the 1848 Revolution, in this case, in the city of Paris.
This image corresponds to the "June Days Uprising", which was a big urban revolt staged from June 22nd to June 26th triggered by the plans to abolish the Ateliers Nationaux (National Workshops). The Workshops was a government program in which work was provided to the unemployed by the French Second Republic after the 1848 Revolution, which happened in February. During the February Revolution, workers made clear demands to the Provisional Government: Right to Work and Organization of Labor, said demands were heard and passed by one of the members of the Provisional Government, Louis Blanc, a Socialist. Unfortunately, the National Workshops were finally abolished and in response the workers revolted.
The Garde Nationale (National Guard) was called in and the revolt was suppressed, leaving about 3,000 dead insurgents and about 3,000/4,000 were deported to Algeria. The defeat of this workers-led insurrection marked the end of a long series of events protagonized by Socialism in it's infancy, it also marked the final victory of Liberals over the "République démocratique et sociale" (Democratic and Social Republic) and soon it would form an alliance with the aristocracies around Europe.
True, for the democrats losing will not mean a moment of self reflection, it'll make them close their ranks and become more unhinged and reactionary. See their reaction towards leftists when they lost to Trump in 2016, instead of changing and inviting them to a coalition, they blamed and shamed them and made them responsible for Trump (when it was their fault to begin with). It'll be the same if Harris loses, instead of opening up to the arabs and muslims, they'll blame them and they'll continue to shift to the right. They'll feed them to the Republicans as punishment, they don't care, liberals are no different than nazis.
And no Bernie and no AOC will be there to prevent it.
