The French might appear to be cold fish to the English but that is only because of their history of being attacked by the English on numerous occasions for no valid reason. That's why they hate the English,no other reason,but......
... if you speak English and you go to France, particularly Paris where French republicanism is strongest,sooner or later you will be robbed because France is full of thieves and corrupt policemen all of whom hate les Anglais for more advanced culture and levelling down is in the nature of all republican virtues. Not only that but many poorer French people are well known as thieves, criminals and idle mouthpieces who betray even their closest associates.
Anyone who overstays their welcome in France,soon comes to the attention of the police because France has the best organised informer network of any country outside England.
Any Irish politician or foreigner who relies on the French for assistance or mutual support, unless they are a colon,is playing silly games with their own lives and those of countless others. The French were reduced to idleness and drunkenness by the French wine industry centuries ago.

The French?
Absolute bast....,make no mistake about it. Bookish colons but basically stupid people who do not believe in anything other than organised force and police crime. Their egalitarianism is the politics of the gutter and the criminal milieu,what Marx referred to as the revolutionary canaille.

If you think that French (or upper-class) republicanism is anything other than a bland, vociferous counterpoint to civil society and basic Christianity and any form of due process and rules of law,decency, stability and normality,go to the Rue de la Republique and see how the homeless and poor of the world and those fleeing war, violence and persecution,are accommodated. Then,you will VERY SOON WISE UP to the bourgeoisie,those who overthrew the French monarchy over two centuries ago.
Shortly before this rich man's game of pitting the poor against the church and aristocracy,Marie Antoinette declared,"Il y a une manque de la charite..."

The counterparts of the French here,in Ireland
What should be society's and you and yours' responses?
In Ireland,tell nouveau arriviste Sinn Fein politicians such as Finnucane and Mc Donald when they come to your door looking for votes,"I don't see you doing much for the poor or unemployed around here. You want another rich man's party behind all your 'big' talk about poverty and social injustice and most of your supporters know it better than you. We have all learned a lot since wiser men than you pushed you into the frontline to take the blame for what they were doing and saying. They departed the scene and called it a day. That event happened long before fools such as yourself realised that others were only using you as frontmen and that you did not speak for them or the very people who you thought were your most ardent supporters. They told you, eventually, what they thought of you and the others who you were associating with behind their backs. It was them telling you what to say and to do not the other way about. Your whole life is taken up talking nonsense."

A counterpoint to the usual view of the French. The Western world outside France
France is free of many of the strains and imperfections of "street scenes with fascists'" (Michael O Riordain,Jonathan Philbin Bowman Interviews,RTE Television,2000's).
Well-experienced people associate Western street scenes with aspects of "occult intelligence" (Karl Marx, Introduction, Capital,Volume One,Moscow). They cite well-known associations with the police, charitymongers and religious. They see its modern association with the pre modern ideologists of the absolutist and semi-democratic state (Epistemology of the State G.W.F. Hegel; Epistemology of the Spirit, G.W.F. Hegel; Philosophy of History,G.,W.F. Hegel).

The Englishman's view of the French
As a witless English drug addict from Belmont Hill, London informed me in August 1986 at Broadgate Office Building,it is a question of "sulph." Sulphur infuses many writers, drug addicts and French philosophers alike in the narrow streets of the First Arrondissement of Paris.
Marx. Proudhon and Voltaire spent long periods there and their philosophy was formed in its sulphur-infused surroundings. Go to the centre of Paris and get the reek of sulphur in the Metro particularly at the centre of the city around Chatelet. Marxists should give some credence to the vulgar English of all classes and none who associate Satan with sulphur. Witness the moral abandonment of wealthy French philistines and Parisian literature's outworkings in Continental states and North American metropolitan environments.
A different perspective to this viewpoint
Karl Marx's excursion into German philosophy,French politics and English economics (Lenin,The Three Component Parts of Marxism,1899) represent the composite elements of a dead,if famous, political science. That science is what pious German philistines,the Free State police force and US political institutions regard as "the work of the devil".
But,to the nub of the modern problem, sulphur in our own poisoned society is courtesy of French science and German pharmacology. Sample French,Dutch and Irish food products.Everywhere in Europe and North America in factory-prepared processed foods we find sulphites. That substance lets loose the beast of untrammeled sexual arousal.
Reasoning by extension from a vulgar Englishman's prognostication, therefore. If you do not like Marx or Marxists do not eat highly processed foodstuffs from Britain, Holland, Denmark,France, Ireland or America. You will find,if you read the contents label,that most also contain sodium stearate (maize extract). Those chemical products gave rise to much post-War hedonist literature because adulterated foods engender widespread sexual incontinence.

Ireland of the eighteenth and nineteenth century
Ireland in the days of the French wars was asymptomatic to republicanism.
The legacy of Irish soldiery in the service of England in that period stand in contrast to the French republican tradition.
Many of the habits and traits learned and copied by England's Irish soldiers have come down to us as traditional song and dance. One of these "Irish traditions",set-dancing,is based on the Spanish quadrille. Recent poetry is based on the French quatrain. Its manifestations are in the Latin 'four' of dance,fiddle music and ballad. That was of imported to Ireland in the 1840's and 1860's. All these French trends were taken to an evil country which does not pay its debts and is founded on enslavement, that country being the United States,by the Irish,Italians and Spanish.
Pre modern survivals of Ireland
The real Gaelic tradition is nothing Oirish but rather consists of polyphonic singing, melodious rhyme,lilting,verse and epic and Aisling poetry not the trash emanating from the Americas or bawdy Northern soul and disco or Italianate song or other cultural products of the US.

Hierarchy or equality,to continue with the original theme of egalitarianism
The rich Englishman's voice is that of a racist and an adventurer.
His lawyers preach the 'master and the servant' relationship.
.....
A synthesis
How to synthesise modern equality with the traditional hierarchy of the Anglo-Saxon kind?
Let us imagine the attempt to marry the egalitarian idea to that which aims to "take you back in time,far back,real far back" (Little Richard,New Jersey) to make the modern socio-political model.
That synthesis has produced a sort of a vigilantee state in this colonial remnant.
Britain and Ireland,too, have been moving in that very direction. Part of their joint dilemma is Northern Ireland,a country trapped in a vision of a past which never existed,one with a population like a "rabbit caught in the headlights" . Northern Ireland is a society ruled by active disinformation, the Irish and British military 'dispersion' tactic and peopled by haverils and 'kept' women who are replete with illusory dreams. Throw into the mix legal injustice, police myopia and a fair measure of literary and artistic and lyrical virtuosity and you have the present cocktail of terror and intimidation,violence and mass sporting entertainment.

Whatever,social decay is evident in France too and social breakdown at an advanced stage in Germany.

The reality of Irish "revolutionary movements" post-GFA
The Provos were bought by Anglo-American and European money to sell their clientele down the river.
But,I hear you say,the European Union put up the cash for the European Peace and Reconciliation Fund?
Not so. The Germans were in one of their long-term recessions and in budget deficit when a phoney political consensus was manufactured in Hyannis Port by Ted Kennedy. A nobody from Derry chipped in his tuppence hal'penny worth on behalf of the Catholic hierarchy,retired priests and lay Jesuit groups in Meath.
The French contribution to European Peace and Reconciliation Funds for Ireland
The French are notoriously tight-fisted and do not indulge corner-boys and mouthpieces in bainin sweaters and Donegal tweed jackets. The French do not subsidise childish scribblings and amateur polemics with their hidden cash reserves because they have enough scribblers and plenty of tub-thumpers of their own. French perspicacity about a dossers and layabouts party won through in Europe.
Only the Dutch and one or two other countries which had had religious wars, stumped up from their tax reserves. The Dutch finances some pacification measures from the highly-taxed revenues of the trade in drugs, narcotics and tobacco.
In the years of the GFA,the people who were called to the podium at Sinn Fein and Fianna Fail conferences and television interview programmes merited no more than a dole cheque and a kick on the arse. That is something that should have been given to everybody who indulges people like Irish and Irish- American politicians.

In France,the military are often called out in support of the various police forces because of France's troubled political past.
The French police are universally despised and viewed with utter contempt by every wise person. A sane person is someone who like the average Frenchman, sees in both soldiers and policemen threats to even the most basic laws and rules and norms of civil society. That is the real source of republicanism in Europe, historically.

Revolutionary politics,its legacy
In our country the pro-US political fervour and the appetite for violent revolution first diminished and then entirely wore off. Republicanism's adherents settled for cash-in-hand on the rare occasions when they did gain employment in our prison colony because they were all afraid of the taxman. That feature of republicanism was instilled in them by others. That did not gain them any kudos with the government and they soon realised that they had to pay their taxes. Nothing is more loathsome to a 'Frenchman' or Irish republican than paying back what he borrowed or returning property given to him on trust with the clear stipulation that it is to be given back or accounted for.By 2005,the shine had worn off the republican hope of an Irish Elysium and the sensible ones gave up or gave back what they stole for fear of having police break down their door.

Our times,the modern France
Even an old country fool who has to learn from a novice about crime will soon tell you for nothing that the French are a bunch of wasters who get other people to do their work for them and the English and police are the same.
The French poor and workers affect hatred of the upper middle class and rich. That hatred is reciprocated,a melee de jours interspersed with random and systematic violence.
A contraindication
The French poor aspire to be rich and to piss down on their former class members in the style of a Labour Tory such as Neil Kinnock who I dubbed the Welsh Windbag.
French criminals
A Frenchman has to be forcibly prevented from attacking someone who he refers to as patron, someone who he knows only to speak to once or twice to his face or on the telephone. He will continue his behaviour until he is threatened with a prison sentence. The French-the Irish have learned too from the French-celebrate the drunkards and the layabouts in their own country and abandon those from other countries,the unwanted migrants such as the Arabs,the Jews and Negroes.
Other aspects of this French-Irish republican phantasmagoria
This is how you will know you are talking to a paid police informer on the phone-they will tell you that Africans and Asians, Czechs and Russians and Poles work harder for less pay.
I kid you not. Go and look at their houses and places of work. All are kitted out with the best and latest domestic appliances but in their place of employment,the lazy loafers won't lift a finger to get any paid work done. They sit around like the English doing no work and playing cards.

A Catholic Gardai discursion into republicanism 1988-1992
The location of Alliance Francaise near Leinster House between that place of debate and Trinity College Dublin is no error. The Free Staters of the Haughey-type tried to cultivate an air of Continental Reason amidst rooted Trinity 'common sense'.
It is also to the French that the Southern government turns for diplomatic knowledge and military assistance in times of crisis.
....
The Irish press after the style of political hawkers try to blame the British Army for the crimes of its own armed men. That was the nature of one malicious report carried in The Irish Times concerning British Army operations in the South inner city in late 1991. Those operations were the Irish Army outworkings of the French and Italian military and secret diplomacy emanating from missions in Dublin, activities undertaken in aid to the Irish government "against terrorists and Russian agents".
But who were their men on the inside?
The insurrectionists were 'set up' by Eugene Mc Cartan of Warrenpoint and Phibsboro and active measures were organised by Mike Mc Gwire of the CIA (Teesside University ).The Irish Communists are affiliated to MI 6 and the Department of Defence.

Our times,nationalism and republicanism in Ireland
Take your pick, sentimental nationalism with its wishy-washy phrases and slogans,all of it coming from dungmongers and publicans or hard-edged republicanism and,with it,a middle class dictatorship.
For many Irish people,it is a tough and difficult choice to make.
Err with caution on the side of Progress and Politics when voting because nationalism only represents the self-interest of pub landlords,all concealed behind pious phrases that do not amount to much in any sane,sober Irishman's thinking. If indeed he is a thinking man,not a thug with a cudgel or a knife. Nationalist gougers,gurriers and scumbags have begun to proliferate again as bourgeois democracy loses its grip on power.

Modern post-GFA times
Whatever one might think of Northern Irish Republicans, they are certainly not people who believe that 'we are all in this together'. They have no truck for the most part with Irish Americans and ridicule them when they come to Ireland and visit any other European country. Irish Republicans have come into their own recently because of the denial of legal equality and freedom from oppression for Northern Catholics. The offenders are their opponents,the DUP and Orange Order. The phenomenon entails widespread breaches of human rights by the police, judiciary and British Army in this hijack state and the US will not assist anyone with a genuine spirit.

Nationalism,Irish Republicanism and the Continental French
Irish republicanism may appeal to the Irish Irelander voter but it is anything but nationalist. In practical terms,at least in the view of trade unionists, indigenous egalitarianism is profoundly at odds with what they call "the Establishment".
The Irish republican tradition has its roots not in the bourgeois republican tradition of France but in the republican socialist tradition,being as it is the only rural and urban "improver".
....
The main appeal of the modern Irish republican party is to the town dwelling population. The town unquestionably is contemporary republicans and progressives great stand-by in terms of actual,living support.
The socialist revolutionary tradition has led to the best successes and worst outrages,call them what you will,in the recent struggle for National Freedom. That armed struggle (1980's) came hot on the heels of a violent, desultory,riotous uprising (1968-1972) and an armed insurrection against a heavy-handed and brutal British Army crackdown on the sibling Provisional movement (1972-1982). I joined long after the baptism of fire,a Johnny-come-lately if you wish but no less determined to "make my mark and strike a blow against Perfidious Albion,ne'er ending source of all Ireland's ills".

The French are reputed as deadly enemies of princes and thieves. They are also gregarious liars and intellectual upstarts with all sorts of bizarre ideas which they export to their former colonies and to any country which will listen to them. They are much too bookish and argumentative for their own good and the police and criminals in France soon murder wayfaring foreigners who offend the high sensibilities of the middle class.( The Germans are cut from the same cloth these days,the police and educated middle class types in particular).

The French are the great contrarians who believe in the power of division and contradiction and argument which they refer to as Reason. It is in France that all revolutionary endeavours originate. Read Marx for testimony to that fact.
The contrarian reasoning of Marx is the philosophy of dialectical materialism,that of the marriage relationship. Marx,Stalin and Velekhovshy explain it as the interrelationship and mutual interpenetration of opposites,perpetual change and. As regards the human species and its endeavours,"All disappears into the ether" (Capital,Karl Marx,International Publishers New York).
It is in French contrarianism and Marxian thinking and politics that modern socialism originates,not in German Hegelian philosophy.

The French export violence and war to distant countries with which they have something in common 'for sport'. They hate those who endow them with the means of life or subsistence or standing before the law.
The French in their expansionism are the acme of modern imperialism and theirs is the 'domino' approach.
They have taught others their underhand tactics of 'cup and mace' most notably the Russians not only in the case of Victor Serge in 1928 (Memories of a Revolutionary) but also gave advanced tuition in "active measures" to Irish police and soldiers in the 1980's.

The Irish have more in common with the loose-tongued Italians as people but Irish native government and its organs area solidly petite bourgeois republican in origins.

The Germans are correct about one French ideological facet of recent times in terms of its national origins.
Glasnost was the product of fiery spirittedness and immature reasoning was in ideology and in historical reporting.
Political reporting was not open and transparent in almost every facet of Russian political dialogue and activity from the 1930's forward.
.....
The French are the progenitors of public justice because they have the longest-running open trial system.
They hacked that concept from the English Trials and Conspiracies Act 1715.
The last element of what they borrowed from the English judicial revolution,open trials,became their legacy to the Russians not once,but twice.
(In 1917,Lenin demanded the publication of secret treaties holding Russia to its military commitments against Germany and again in 1986,Gorbachev sounded the tocsin about secret prisons and the closed legal trials of dissidents).
Democracy in action!

Modern bourgeois France is a brutal and backward society which does not honour the basic precepts of justice such as the right to life and the right to own private property.

The coarse French bourgeoisie who decide everything in France, who comes,who goes,who stays,who leaves are a plague on the needy and unjustly treated. They are not remotely interested in socialism or the future of their own country,much less France' s international standing with civilised people or it's bearing before the bar of history for its treatment of asylum seekers and refugees,a situation mirrored amongst the Irish petite bourgeoisie.
Abbey Pierre is the best exponent of a sane view of France.
He said, FRANCE MALGRE.
France? Sadly lacking,I repeat after the great humanist of a Christian stripe.
