As for a military coup, it is way way too early for the ruling capitalist class to attempt to impose a military dictatorship.
For one thing the yellow vests enjoy wide popularity. A move to a coup could backfire and spark tens of millions to strike and demonstrate. The ordinary soldiers, mostly from the working class may be reluctant to shoot their own families and friends, they may join the protesters and shoot their officers instead.
All the agents of the state will need time to do their dirty work-
The far right need time to spread their filthy racist, anti-migrant, islamaphobic, anti-semite poison, to split up and divide the yellow vests and get them fighting amongst themselves. To split them up and divide them. This weakens the working class obviously and strengthens the state.
The fake lefts will sow illusions in the state, the state is democratic they say, do not carry out a revolution, vote for us, a fake left government will protect democracy. All filthy lies, as the military and every branch of the state prepares for dictatorship.
There would be some sort of provocation arranged and used as an excuse to impose martial law.
eg. The French "intelligence" agencies with long standing connections and support for terrorist networks (built up and protected for the war in Syria) could 'arrange' a series of terror bombings and use that as an excuse for declaring martial law.
The yellow vests need to organise independent workers committees, reach out across France and Europe for the widest support from all sections of workers and youth, strike and occupy all workplaces, banks and government buildings, send delegations to win over the ordinary soldiers.
Reject all forms of islamaphobic, racist nationalism and anti-semetism and reject the lies of the right and the fake lefts. Only the independence and widest mobilization of the working class can prevent a military coup.
