For anyone reading this.
What this greedy capitalist want are people working all the time. The poorer and desperate they are the better. It mean they will accept ANYTHING in order to barely survive. The perfect worker/soldier !
I passionate myself for french politics. Some right politician (they could be considered leftist by some American standard) want less paid annual leave. It is very unpopular and it need extraordinary constant popular démonstration to not pass that thing.
The french have these thing because the resistance during the war asked for such things and more at the end of the war. They have it because of mass strike, popular démonstration, etc.
It is NOT a fixed thing. And french politicians are not good listener, sometimes, they just do whatever they want. For example the when a cops use his gun, they had to justify and prove the use of strength. A recent law changed that. The cops using his gun is his right. It is up to the victim to prove that it was not appropriate. The law is dubbed “license to kill” by the opposition. An extraordinary petition was signed in a very short time. It passes anyway.
No country is better than another. Power and greed go well together. France still have social security, paid annual leave, not getting shot by cops for no reason. But it is always a “for now”!
It is the election season, some candidats campaign for better, far far better than they have but… they are dubed extreme left (to the disarray of actual leftist revolutionary parties). Methods of discredit are the same. Helping others start with yourself and end with everyone.
that why picture are so good. They contain so much details it help to remind.
