A Fox News investigation, published on October 19 by its senior editor Asra Nomani (of Indian origin), claims that behind the student protests and criminal riots in France lies an ecosystem of 54 communist and far-left organizations funding or supporting them. They nickname it "Chaos Inc."
Now, 28 communist and socialist youth organizations from 12 European countries are mobilizing to organize a coordinated strike on November 20 under the slogan "Fight for our future, not for their wars," calling for walkouts, blockades, occupations, and massive demonstrations.
The protests in France have been channeled and boosted by a network of communist and far-left groups, labor unions, and activists, along with international amplification. Initial school grievances served as a pretext for a broader uprising against capitalism, budget austerity, the law, the police, and military spending.
The 54 organizations forming “Chaos Inc.” are: 16 student and youth groups; 11 communist, Marxist, Trotskyist, and revolutionary left organizations; 2 pro-Islamic / pro-Palestinian groups; 12 labor unions and teachers' federations; 11 human rights, environmentalist, parents', and economic justice organizations; and 2 "international amplifiers." The names of these organizations include CGT, FSU, FO, UNEF, LFI, PCF, NPA, Gilets Jaunes, Amnesty International France, LDH, and SOS Racisme, among others.
The Fox News investigation links this international amplification to tech entrepreneur Neville Roy Singham, who has promoted, applauded, and spread the riots and protests currently taking place in France, Spain, Italy, and India (yes, even though we are unaware of it in Europe, India has also been experiencing severe "student" riots since August).
Singham is an American tech entrepreneur turned Marxist. He sold his consulting firm ThoughtWorks for $785 million in 2017 and moved to China. Since then, he has been credited with funding a constellation of far-left organizations known as "the Singham network." These include Tricontinental, a Marxist think tank; CodePink, an anti-imperialist group; and BreakThrough News, a New York-based media outlet that is part of the International People's Media Network (The People’s Forum) and shares staff with Tricontinental.
The underlying allegation is that these entities use every available medium to spread narratives favorable to the Chinese Communist Party. A 2023 New York Times investigation maintained that Singham was the source of a "lavishly funded influence campaign" promoting Chinese state propaganda narratives. Since then, the U.S. House Ways and Means Committee has issued subpoenas to BreakThrough News, Tricontinental, and The People's Forum, and a grand jury in the Southern District of New York is conducting a criminal investigation into Singham.
