Despite thousands of French nationals having been radicalized, the country’s controversial first center for deradicalization stands empty, just five months after opening. But the French government refuses to close it.

The center at Beaumont-sur-Vernon in the Indre-et-Loire department of central France opened in September, despite much opposition from local residents and politicians.

Its aim was to free those who have been convinced by the ideology of jihadism and help them reintegrate into society. […]

But while it was meant to house 25 voluntary participants by the end of December, the center now stands empty after its last resident was sent to prison this week after being convicted of violence, Le Figaro reports.

France plans to roll out 12 more similar centers by the end of next year. …

Until quite recently, yes.

I dare say they could pick it up again quick enough.

Does anyone notice the similarity in treating “addicts”?

So the stupidity of making public centers to convert druggies and drunkards has spread to all manner of insanity. “Detox for terrorists”. Now I’ve heard it all.

Leftists have to be the most naive group of people in existence.

“Undoubtedly,” it will be said, “religious, moral, philosophical, and juridical ideas have been modified in the course of historical development. But religion, morality, philosophy, political science, and law, constantly survived this change. There are, besides, eternal truths, such as freedom, justice, etc., that are common to all states of society. But communism abolishes eternal truths, it abolishes all religion, and all morality, instead of constituting them on a new basis; it therefore acts in contradiction to all past historical experience.” …
Marx and Engels postulated that these criticisms would be rendered invalid once humanity saw the benefits of their brilliant ideas. Thing is, the criticisms have been proven right over and over. This doesn’t penetrate the minds of the indoctrinated, though.
