Communists and other left-wingers eager to enslave us all have made themselves a big part of the partly-student protests in France. Fox News has learned that of fifty groups involved in the protests, “only one third are youth groups.” The adults include homegrown and “transnational” agitators (October 9, 2026).
A Fox News Digital investigation has found that a transnational network of far-left communist and socialist organizations is seizing on France’s fiery student protests to advance a wider political and ideological agenda, using tactics deployed in the United States over the past decade to amplify unrest, deepen divisions and project an image of chaos.
Earlier in the week, BreakThrough News splashed another headline across the front of its website: “French students shut down schools in historic strike against austerity,” mobilizing “with support from unions and progressive forces.”
But those “progressive forces” aren’t limited to students demanding education reform as part of their “Lycéenne Mobilisation,” or high school student mobilization.
From France to the United States, the United Kingdom, Brazil, Greece and India, adults with deep pockets are tapping France’s school protests and turning a domestic education dispute into a platform for broader political and ideological confrontation. BreakThrough News is a pro-communist propaganda outlet based in New York City, funded by an American-born, Shanghai-based communist tech tycoon, Neville Roy Singham, who has financed a network of communist and far-left groups in the U.S. that have capitalized on grievances to stoke similar street unrest for almost a decade….
“What we’re seeing here is the same Red-Green ecosystem that disrupts infrastructure choke holds in our country such as the Brooklyn Bridge, college campuses and congressional hearings,” Mike Gonzalez, a senior fellow at the Heritage Foundation, told Fox News Digital. “And in the case of BreakThrough News, the same sugar daddy—Neville Roy Singham.”
We’ve heard of this guy, American-born, Shanghai-based communist tech tycoon Neville Roy Singham, so eager to destroy the economic conditions that made his own fortune possible. The New York Times published a good exposé of his machinations a few years ago, “A Global Web of Chinese Propaganda Leads to a U.S. Tech Mogul.”
Hammer and sickle
Does France need Singham’s help? It already boasts an abundance of perennial protesters and rioters of the communist persuasion.
“The Confédération nationale du travail, or National Confederation of Labour, declared: ‘The demands of high school students are also ours. They are right to revolt.’ The adult-led labor organizations in the network of 50 include the Confédération générale du travail, or General Confederation of Labour; Force Ouvrière, or Workers’ Force; and Union nationale des syndicats autonomes, or National Union of Autonomous Trade Unions….
“Other revolutionary-left groups, including Le Poing Levé, or The Raised Fist, and Révolution Permanente, or Permanent Revolution, have promoted solidarity between high school students and university activists.”
The message on one banner: “ ‘Guerre De Clasee!’ or ‘Class War!’ over a bright yellow image of the hammer and sickle.” Those are the words and image brandished by the Young Communists Movement of France, “which works closely with the French Communist Party.”
Dilapidated classrooms will be the least of the students’ troubles if such helpful collaborators get all they wish for.
