Emmanuel Macron continues to attack the French welfare state. Following his regressive retirement age reform that sparked mass protests, Macron is now seeking to force jobseekers to do unpaid work in exchange for their meager benefits.
Small palliative measures only serve to extinguish the revolutionary energy in the masses. After decades of propaganda, they started dismantling all the palliative measures little by little (this actually started in the 80s). This is because in capitalism profits always fall. They must squeeze more and more to keep the same rates of profit.
And as people are numb and have no class consciousness nowadays, they can squeeze more and more without much fear. They just preemptively fund the Nazis and keep squeezing. If any small actual revolutionary movement starts up, it’s easy to squash it. You already have a paramilitary anti-revolutionary reactionary force, and the revolutionaries will have limited support due to the masses being numbed etc etc.

So shall it be. Amen. They have won, resistance is futile.
They might win the battles, but they will never win the war. If they win in the end, we all lose. There’s no more humanity. There’s no more Earth.
