Long live the revolution (French: Vive la révolution, VLR) was a French libertarian Maoist group which appeared in 1968, led by Roland Castro and Tiennot Grumbach and founded by 40 people, mostly from the Maoist UJC (ml) and the 22 March Movement of Nanterre. Unlike many revolutionary Marxist-Leninist groups, VLR was distinguished by its festive and libertarian aspect.
