very true, France has always had a large fascist element though

I think you're right though. The current socioeconomic model is starting to fail badly and there's surely going to be some violent swings in politics until it gets sorted out with a horrendous war some very sweeping changes, that will be terrible for most of us.

it'll probably happen fairly soon, given the amount of jobs that'll be lost to automation in the next couple of decades. Unless the model changes in that time, then there's going to be a massive chunk of the world population that's disenfranchised
