Re: French unions take to streets over austerity measures
Unions? Are you sure? Most unions are anti-worker. They are a means of enslavement. Corporate executives tell union bosses, “I want my slaves to accept a 50 percent cut in pay. If you can squeeze even more out of them, I’ll give you a bonus.” Union bosses then tell the slaves, “Brothers, you must accept a 70 percent cut in pay, or you will have no jobs at all. I am fighting for your rights.”
This is how union bosses get filthy rich.
Most unions in Europe are pro-banker and pro-austerity. That’s why there are many demonstrations, but few strikes. It’s also why the masses cannot unite. Some people oppose austerity. Others (e.g. union bosses) only pretend to oppose austerity. All communist parties in Europe are pro-capitalist, pro-banker, pro-war, and pro-austerity, since this gives more legitimacy to the communists, who only want power for themselves, just like union bosses.
Meanwhile the masses starve, while the bankers and politicians laugh. If the masses in any one country rose up and started executing the bankers that are killing them, then the masses in all other countries will call the European rebels crazy. This happened during the French revolution. Many French bastards took refuge in England, which welcomed them. If any European nation seeks to break free altgether, then most or all other European nations will attack it, as we saw in WW II.
I'm sorry to say this, but it repeatedly seems that the masses deserve to be enslaved. Among the people who are now eating out of garbage cans (or would, if politicians had not put padlocks on the garbage cans), I'll bet that most of them still defend the euro currency that is killing them.
