They do make jobs, just not here.

to China

They can have those jobs and all the fringe benefits

No big surprise that the French put in socialists. The Europeans have always been much more accepting of socialism in general. I wish Germany would swing back in that direction. Capitalism has done much more harm over there than good. The Europeans had their little experiment with US style capitalism, and now it seems they are finally waking up and realizing that just because capitalism is the USA's bread and butter, they are not the USA and they need to stick with a system that is better suited to their own culture. I pray for the day they dissolve the EU and bring back the franc and the mark, I will weap such sweet tears of joy. Everything went downhill in Europe when they switched to the euro IMO. The Europeans need to stay in their lane and do what works for them....good job France! Now hopefully your neighbors will take a hint and follow your lead.

I am from Australia. We are similar to Germany. We have been americanized. it has done more harm then good. Our Public Health system and education and welfare are still better than americas of course but we have lost Public Utilities and assets. It is only getting worse. The leaders of the major parties are US puppets. We all need to follow the lead of the Greeks and the French and try to elect someone that is not a puppet of the United States.

course germanicus had to be the one to post this.

anyways im going to laugh when france goes back into the dark ages with this new government

America has half its population on food stamps.

The US Government will not stop spending.

Lazy Americans are ripping off the welfare system and government is out of control with massive debt. It is clear who we need to cut loose. The US must give up the reserve. The US Government is a loser and the americans are ripping us all off by having the reserve currency. Nobody will care about you guys since nobody cared about the Greeks.

USA USA USA!

I make up my mind fine. I prefer State Capitalism. State Capitalism is what China have been using. I also like National Socialism. Both are hybrids. They mix socialism with capitalism.

What you call "American style capitalism" is an misnomer and at this point I think you are being deliberately obtuse about it.

Capitalism is a voluntary, consenting exchange of goods between two parties, for their own mutual benefit without the outside threat of force. It is a market that runs on the incentive of profit and loss and the freedom of competition. Once restrictions or government intervention are applied to capitalism, it is no longer capitalism but central planning.

So, that being said, lets pretend for a minute that you don't get to make up your own definitions in an attempt to prevent collapse of your fragile worldview. Give me a single example of any country practicing capitalism. Pretty please with a cherry on top.

At this time, America practices exactly the economic model you endorse in your post.

I am not being obtuse at all. It is Americas empire. America created it. and I say american style capitalism because some parrot like you will try to pretend he is clever by saying that we do not have capitalism. We have capitalism. Deal with it. America set this system up after WW2. The reserve changed hands and America has run its own style of capitalism ever since. Upward Mobility and bs like that belong to american style capitalism. Capitalism has failed. It turns into crony capitalism or corporatism. look at the United States. It is a loser of a country. They have all that debt. Then look at China. State Capitalism works. American style capitalism does not.

The world will be socialist soon. State Capitalism is Chinese style socialism.

edit-Pretty sure I am more intelligent than you btw. So you sound silly when you be rude and try to talk down to me.

Socialists Win French Parliament Race As World Turns Socialist
