The example of France shows how socialism has progressed in the eurozone. The major stages are followed by phases of consolidation in which the government share only grew in small steps, but the trend was always positive. And the socialists knew only too well how to exploit and capitalize on every crisis and build up their state apparatus.

The construction of a gigantic state apparatus, an exuberant welfare state, which is only possible with the printing press, manipulated interest rates and if a market economy alternative can be suppressed (hence the military occupation of the USA by Euro-globalists) has systematically decomposed the productivity growth of the private economy on which everything is based. This went hand in hand with the build-up of gigantic national debts, the collapse of which is now looming. The weaning of Europeans from their cherished favorite child, the all-knowing and rule-making state, will be terrible.
