There is a swelling traditionalist right wing movement in France started under the slogan ‘revolt against the 68ers’. This is why the recent riots of fag marriage were overwhelmingly young people. I expect that they will hand the next election to the right, and France may change dramatically as a result.
The 68ers have destroyed the society and the economy. They’ll be lucky not to get lynched.
even we the US are losing the economic war to countries with a higher tolerance for old fashioned doing the not-so-fun jobs; if not well, then at least consistently.
when we in the US have enough motivated to do those jobs we might make stuff here again.. or we could go Smoot-Hawley on them.
