Heck, even the 20th century Soviets worked harder than the 21st Century French. Granted, the Soviets' motivation was to NOT end up dead or in Siberia, but at least they actually worked to support their government. The French apparently have no such desire. I love France, as a life-long student of architecture, art, culture and history, and I have met some wonderful French people. It pains me to see them rotting themselves into oblivion. I wish that they could cut off that cultural gangrene. But lacking that, I wish they would just keep the stench to themselves.
I get your point. One could argue the difference is that 'muzzle of a gun' which is missing from French Socialism, is equally as immoral as a negligent existence. What they (french sloths) might notice soon enough, is that an overall decline in national production will limit their societal benies further degrading their general quality of life to that of third-world blight... individual effort relating to personal well-being thus extricated from their collective mentality, achievement is pointless. Muslims, on the other hand are an extremely motivated people pursuant of their own life goals - equally collective and more fundamental. They will most certainly find opportunity, where the frenchman (if there is such a thing) forgos effort; ultimately earning the culture that has been abandoned, by forgeing it to their new image... An Islamic French State. The sword and Sharia will prove just as motivating to french sloths as the gun was to Soviet bolsheviks.
The sloths may find solice in their latinous voluptuousness, and gallant laziness, but while they eat and make love with their faces, industrious Muslim chickens will be building culturally exclusive roosts.
