Yeah, Les Republicains already go full FN the moment the FN isn't doing the runoffs, I wouldn't be surprised if a Macron-Melenchon runoff hadn't seen Macron run hard to the right like Sarko in 2012.

It's the last sentence: "It is not the French that have to be weaned off public interventionism, but the State itself". Translation: The loving peons love their welfare state too much for us to touch it directly, so we'll starve the beast instead.

It's all about "empowering" and giving back "autonomy". Are you against autonomy M. Kassad?

I still can't believe this stuff is back on the table... It's going to cost a few billions, spread limited ressources even thinner and none of the concerned administrations want it (especially not the army). As if having teenagers dick around for a few months post bac is going to turn them into model citizens, whatever that means...

So wait how is it that a dude who's supposedly the caricature of a groomed-from-birth elite bureaucrat is supposed to be starving the state in the bathtub and bringing about libertopia? Or is it just poor people and unionized labor that gets drowned in that bathtub?

Liberalism is an incredibly powerful force, able to co-opt and subvert even the legendary French bureaucracy and its bureaucrats. High-level civil servants leaving the public sector to profit from sweet private money has become so commonplace that we even have a word for it ("pantoufler"). These people don't give a poo poo about the State and will gladly kill it with a thousand cuts. Macron is one of those.

I'm assuming the Spectator is a correct newspaper on this site. I saw this initially through Facebook and can't remember where. https://blogs.spectator.co.uk/2017/07/emmanuel-macrons-restoration-french-monarchy/# http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-40483744 Does this worry anyone else? I'm keeping some tabs on French politics and this looks somewhat worrying, especially how close together these two bits of news are. Macron looks like a very scary politician. He was the Hillary to Le Pen's Trump. And I can't find it as an image, but the cover photo over the video on the BBC article looks too much like the image of a dictatorship, or a an Absolutist Monarch and I think that was deliberate. Edit: Found it:

Yeah we loving love pomp, especially when it comes to Presidents. This image is par for the course. The culotted clowns in a row are also always there in the Assemblée Nationale IIRC. On July 14th, if you care enough to pay attention, you'll also witness another pretty backwards and dumb scene: a huge military parade along the Champs-Elysées, complete with fighter planes and poo poo. I'm actually pretty sure that it will stir Trump's loins so much that I wouldn't be surprised if he decides he wants a parade for the next 4th of July. (But yeah there's a definite authoritarian streak in Macron's style and in the institutional reforms he advocates)

Hazzard posted:I'm assuming the Spectator is a correct newspaper on this site. I saw this initially through Facebook and can't remember where. He's not going to abolish the republic and reinstate the monarchy if that's your concern. And there's actually only one bit of news here, his speech in front of Congress. That said, the instutional reform is worrying and would mark (another) increase of the executive power at the expanse of the legislative branch. But since it's only been presented in the broadest of strokes and there's no timetable worry hasn't yet coalesced into outrage. Also it's the holydays, no one's got time for that poo poo when there's sun to soak in.

To what extent is the modern Fifth Republican state/bureaucracy a creation of the Vichy period, in institutional terms? I know a good number of high-level collaborators like Papon et al continued postwar, but how about the institutions rather than people? I just read a book about how Japan's postwar economy was basically created during the war, with various state planning bureacracies that were instrumental in the postwar being more or less continuations of agencies created in the 1930s. I know the Third Republic was supposed to have been a laissez-faire/free market thing, and postwar France heavily diritiste/state-planned. Is it pretty much the same story, that the planning-state was a continuation of, or at least was created by, wartime fascism? Any good academic books (in english) on the subject?

I know the Third Republic was supposed to have been a laissez-faire/free market thing, and postwar France heavily diritiste/state-planned. Is it pretty much the same story, that the planning-state was a continuation of, or at least was created by, wartime fascism? Approximately 0%. The Fifth Republic dates back to 1958. The Fourth Republic dates back to 1946, and it was fully created by a Constituent Assembly (in effect it was a parliamentary regime much like the Third Republic, but with an actual constitutional framework which the Third lacked). Hell, I mean, the most vague notion in our constitutional jurisprudence, the "principes fondamentaux reconnus par les lois de la République" ("fundamental principles that are recognized by the laws of the Republic", a bunch of liberties that are not mentioned in the Constitution but upheld as principles with a constitutional value) exclude laws that come from Vichy. And the only significant piece of administrative jurisprudence I can think of that comes from Vichy times is the decision enshrining the right for a civil servant to disobey an order if the order is illegal and threatens the good operation of the service. The bureaucracy far predates Vichy, and the institutions are pretty removed from Vichy. EDIT: also interventionism was pretty important during the Third, especially starting in the 20's.

All I might have somewhere in a HDD is a bunch of notes from a class about Economic Interventionism in France, but it'd be in French and mostly focused on the administrative side of economic interventionism (what was legal, what became legal through jurisprudence, and stuff like that). And French administrative law is abstruse and stupid. I'll look around. MP me if I forget about you. lost in postation posted:I always picture Valls when I think about Thiers.
