[Peace-discuss] [Peace] My plea, related to the Yellow Vest movement in France

[Szoke, Ron]

Recently, with advancing age, I have become softer on half-measures that seem to offer some actual real-world possibility of "progress,” as I would view it.  One is a program of government (public) ownership of a controlling percentage of stock of major corporations in basic industries.

That is not a panacea, of course, & I expect to receive within minutes a torrent of denunciation along the lines of “That’s stupid & crazy!  It won’t work!  It can’t be done!  It would have all kinds of unanticipated horrible consequences!”  etc., etc.   And those would be the most rational ones amid the obscene insults & accusations.

I once heard  that the French government owns (or owned) a sizable chunk of Renault.  Have no idea whether this is true, & whether it exempted the Renault workers from the uprisings of 1968 & 2018.  Can someone enlighten me/us on this?

Or shall we stick with our usual “Who do we traduce & BLAME?” & the standard sneer-jeer-smear routine?

~~ Ron
