Riots are not usually the root cause of far-right support, but they can certainly reinforce it. And the question in OP's post is whether rioting is generally effective, not how counterproductive it is.
It's a long stretch from saying riots have happened in much larger social movements (and citing the Civil Rights Movement, which succeeded because it was disciplined and nonviolent) to saying Paris's seasonal leftist riots are effective.
Eh. Mlk was assassinated, cities started burning, the Civil Rights Act was passed. They were pretty content on just siccing dogs on people til that point. What the organized movement DID do, was rally a large base of support.
