Poll: French More Anti-Capitalist Than Communist China…

There’s a reason the American left idolizes quasi-Socialist France.

PARIS (Reuters) – The French are more opposed to free market capitalism than the inhabitants of Communist China and other advanced economies, an opinion poll published on Wednesday showed.

The survey by pollster IFOP published in La Croix newspaper showed that 33 percent of French people believe it is time to abandon capitalism, the highest proportion among the 10 countries surveyed.

In China, which is ruled by the Communist Party but has embraced its own brand of capitalism, just 3 percent of those questioned thought that the market system was working badly. China posted economic growth of more than 10 percent last year.

Some 65 percent of the Chinese surveyed said the current system was working well and should not be changed, the highest percentage in the poll, followed by Australia with 63 percent, Brazil with 57 and the United States with 55 percent.

The survey, conducted between Dec. 8 and 23 from some 600 respondents in each country, also showed that the Chinese were the most convinced that wider international trade was in their interest, with 90 percent answering “yes”.

The United States was the most negative about the impact of expanding international trade on their economy, with just 39 percent of those surveyed in favour of it.

    That’s because there’s nothing about mainland China, anymore, that resembles communism.

    Fascist all the way.

    Why not have a debate to end all debates? Sarah Palin vs. John Kerry for the last word on how best to run a nation. My bet is on Sarah.

    Many of the comments on WZ identify Canada as a very left wing country. Please remember that we have in this country a whole province of French Canadians that has, with the help of a violently left wing media provided just about all of the leadership for what was once a very right of center country. They ensured that all media, education, justice etc. was ruled and established by half wit lefties. Once a nations children have been indoctrinated by these foul sub humans it is very hard in a democracy to turn things around. Perhaps now some will understand why we have been in such a mess over the past forty years. Make sure it does not happen to you or all will be lost.
