"The eros effect," a term coined by George Katsiaficas, is a sudden intuitive awakening of massive opposition to the powers-that-be. According to Katsiaficas, this kind of awakening occurred in France in May 1968; in the US during the massive student strike of May 1970; in Kwangju, South Korea in 1980; and in a string of popular uprisings in Asia in the 1980s and '90s.
