What the hell happened to the French in such a short time? Sometime after WW2 instead of leaning more towards the right, they went the other way, socialist. Weren’t the Nazis socialists? Nazi = National Socialism. Take away the castles and the country is unrecognizable. Just the way the democrats want it here.
WW2 was fought to make the world safe for communism. Competing authoritarian constructs crushed.
