France General Discussion II: Living under Marxism

You might not care about this, since wealth equals merit, and if you don't want to suffer from flat taxation you just have to work harder and make more money.

This idea that right-wing economics means you think wealth=merit is pretty old and pretty untrue. I don't think wealth=merit. I think that it is unfair to take another person's things, which they fairly own. This is the key point, and if we can't agree on it there's no use to debating at all. As for the second part of the sentence, we both know that's not necessarily practical.

Uh-uh

Yeah, French media are all out on this. Actually, it's been numerous years since most of the Party's federations were not using the hammer and sickle on any of their activist material.  And Emmanuel Dang Tran is only secretary of one of Paris' 20 sections, one of the most reactionary ones.

But I find it a pity. The hammer and sickle is an international recognition symbol, plus a historical landmark. Oh well, no big deal.

How many workers today use hammers or sickles, especially in a country like France?

More like a queue inside a post officer, or wherever it is that French pensioners go...
