Government spending in France is nearly 60% of GDP. If people still struggle to eat and sleep perhaps the problem runs deeper than a lack of social services.
But yes, I'm sure burning down the Eiffel Tower will put food on the table.
même la tour eiffel pourrait tomber je m’en bas les couilles de votre patrimoine y a des gens qui ne peuvent pas boire, manger et dormir dans de bonnes conditions

“Last chopper out of Saigon”:
Tired: Graduating high school before covid.
Mired: Graduating college before AI.
Inspired: Graduating elementary school before they stopped teaching phonics.

İn his book"What Is To Be Done?" Lenin actually criticised random violence of 1905 Russian Revolution and similar small scale mass protests because they were not organizes and achieved nothing. Communists celebrating 2026 "French" protests show they have not read Lenin once

France has government spending at 57% of GDP and runs an over 5% of GDP budget deficit. This isn't a country being deprived by neoliberal austerity.

How it feels reading about the British economy
Annualised UK GDP growth so far in 2026, with two-thirds of the year gone, is 2.7-2.8%
Is expected to slow in q4, but that was also expected in q3. And q2.
City economists (eg Pantheon) say “we have to shift from describing UK growth as resilient to calling it strong”.

On July 25th, 1890, Van Gogh saw the painting "epic cowboy blowing zombies shit smoove off". He shot himself two days later out of jealousy.

Probably bad that every single Internet comments section nowadays, no matter its topic, features random unbridled antisemitism

I think the Mamdani cult of personality is annoying but these freaks manage to be 100x worse
Anti-Mamdani chants at the protest:
“Zohran, what do you say? How many kids did you kill today?”
“700,000 dead. Mamdani, your hands are red!”
“Traitor, traitor, come on out! You sold all your people out!”
“Zohran, you can’t hide. We charge you with genocide!”

Mélenchon flirting with unilateral cancellation of French debt and undermining central-bank independence is extraordinarily dangerous.

Sorry, I'm uncommitted. Melenchon has to earn my vote, you see. The lesser of two evils is still evil. If Melenchon really wanted to win he wouldn't be throwing Ukrainians under the bus.
Am I doing this right, leftists? Just trying to emulate how you guys handled Kamala Harris.
