Those who in the 1960s and 1970s, believed the collapse of the old system of exploitation and oppression, not all sublimate their revolt and agreed to flow into the institutions. Born in Algiers in 1941, François was soon joined Cerutti those in France who have fought for the independence of Algeria. For him, the revolt of colonial peoples against colonial domination criminal was a sign of the imminent overthrow of bourgeois society. Rebellious, he left for Morocco. In Algiers, from 1962 to 1965 he works in a self-managed. With a small group of members of the Fourth International, he campaigned for the consolidation of the industry-run against the will of increasingly strong grip of the FLN and the government about it.
In 1965, the coup in Boumediene does return to France, where the army forces to military service which he had escaped. He runs up against the stupidity and vindictiveness of the institution, who will send for a few months in jail.
May 1968 found the front row because he lives in the Latin Quarter and worked in a library activist, devoted to the critique of Leninism and regimes who claim it. He helps coordinate action committees of companies in the Paris region. Importantly, the May movement reinforces his belief that "the world will change core" and that the old labor movement organizations, pillars of the existing order, shall be scanned.
The story of this journey which, from a "Blackfoot" will be a "red foot", a rebel revolutionary, it is also that of encounters, militant actions, thoughts that have influenced an entire generation, some of which continues to assert, as Francis Cerutti: "The need to change this world is becoming more evident and urgent. "
