Liberty, I Write Your Name
The Atlasphere publishes an interview with a voice of today's authentic French resistance, Sabine Herold (via Merde in France).
Herold: For example, in France right now there's actually a political debate about whether civil servants should be paid depending on what they're doing and whether they're good or bad. Some people, especially the unions, are simply opposed to that; they think that when you're in public service, your level of productivity shouldn't be considered. To me that makes no sense. If a civil servant is not efficient, there's no reason to keep paying him. (Pause.) France is still a communist country.
TA: France is?
Herold: (Laughing). Almost. I think in America, some people consider us one of the very last remaining communist countries. Some people are saying that about France.

She makes me want to move to France.
That's no easy feat.

I know an old soldier now living in Arizona who fought in France in WWII. He says the French threw stones at his men. They were in a communist region.
