The French don’t seem to have learned much of anything from the past. This is because they killed all of the relatively intelligent and successful French people during the revolution. Instead of survival of the fittest, the French have created survival of the stupidest and meanest. It’s worked out so well for them, that American progressive have implemented a similar program, using taxes and regulations instead of guillotines, at least for now.

A century before their Revolution, the French drove their highly intelligent, highly productive middle class out of France--the Huguenots--the people productive of the wealth of France.

This left France with a failing economy and a relatively small upper class ruling a huge lower class and set the scene for the horrors of the Revolution.

If present trends continue, this scenario could happen in America.
