This assertion is false.

We will call young any individual, no matter what his age, who does not yet coincide with his function, who acts and struggles to attain the realm of activity he truly desires, who fights to achieve a career in terms of a situation and a form of work other than that which has been planned for him . . . . Any reform must begin with the millions of "pre-agents" who collectively comprise the "sickness of society." So long as youth suffers in slavery, or is super-exploited by the seniority system, it will hurl itself into all the warlike follies and all the banalities which are permitted it as a compensation for it sown non-existence. Those who know and love their pplaces, whether proletarians or capitalists, are passive, because they don't want to compromise themselves by appearing in the streets. They have goods and children to protect! The young, who have nothing to lose, are the attack - indeed, they are adventure. Let youth cease to serve as a commodity merely to become the consumer of its own elan.

Isou, "Youth Uprising"
