LFI and other leftist groups have expressed support but have not actually, as far as i know, co-ordinated action or attempted to impose any kind of discipline or unified goal or command structure, nor to give serious ideological direction to the protests. So far it all looks like spontaneous action as a result of years of pent up frustration over deep economic malaise. Which is why, unfortunately, i expect this to fizzle out before next year and things to go back to status quo.
This shows that in some ways the masses are actually more advanced than where the organized left is currently at. The masses are ready to take action but the left is not yet ready to lead them.
