My French conservative readers were laughing at Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal, until they read (Tr)

I WAS TELLING MY FRENCH READERS ABOUT AOC’S CRAZY GREEN NEW DEAL ON A FRENCH-SPEAKING POLITICAL MEDIA.

Even in Socialist France, where people suffer daily from “social justice”; where the government confiscates every month 50% of their pay check; where they pay 18% VAT and their tax return with what they have left; where 10% of the people, 25% of the youth is unemployed – and when they are lucky to find a job, it’s never in the field they studied for; where health care costs three times more than in the US – but they emphasize that it’s free because it’s painlessly taken out of their paycheck – and refund only 70% of the cost, with poor service and cases where costly treatments are refused; even there, they consider AOC as a total lunatic, and a useful idiot to make believe that Socialism is eccentric when it actually is lethal.

I was telling the French about Alexandria’s plan. We call this kind of environmentalist “watermelon,” because they are green outside, but red inside. They had a good laugh about her, until they read about the new French government plan to reduce temperature by 2.7° (Fahrenheit).

The plan is laid out on the government bank Caisse des Depots et Consignations website for the State-owned NGO Novethic.

What it says will make you shiver. This is the next step for America if one day the barrier between cultural Marxism and political Marxism is broken.

The similarities between the Green News Deal and this French Red New Deal is no coincidence. They show that not only the climate change nuts communicate and share globally their future plans, but facing a general backlash from a public that is more and more doubtful (Right now, people in the Midwest are dreaming of global warming), they will push toward a more and more coercive and totalitarian world.

Who is copying who, France or AOC? Or is it just one big coincidence? Ummmm?

And don't you just love how the Statists favorite words right after tax and spend is "mandatory."

[Red Badger]

In politics, there are no coincidences........................

If you think about it, you have to admit Stallin could have hit every one of those targets.

He hit every one of them that applied in his day.

[DoughtyOne]

If you think about it, you have to admit (meant) Lenin could have hit every one of those targets.

He hit every one of them that applied in his day.

Prohibition of online advertising on websites

Oops they let one slip. It's all about abolishing capitalism, but we all knew that anyway.

[Tench_Coxe]

Find out who is coordinating this and.....well, I won’t say.

[Slyfox]

Creation of a national lottery distributing 500,000 air flight tickets per year

Which means, of course, that our airline points will be worth doo-doo.

[Jess Kitting]

We call this kind of environmentalist “watermelon,” because they are green outside, but red inside.

I love it: Green on the outside; red on the inside.

This BS is the polar opposite of freedom

Yep! Now we all need to be good little comrades and report to our lovely designated comfy gulag group home or you and your family and friends will be executed as enemies of the revolution. /sarc

We will all understand freedom better when we arrive at the gulags (if we live that long).
