Beehaw's community for socialists, communists, anarchists, and non-authoritarian leftists (this means anti-capitalists) of all stripes. A place for all leftist and labor news and discussion, as long as you're nice about it.

Non-socialists are welcome to come to learn, though it's hard to get to in-depth discussions if the community is constantly fighting over the basics. We ask that non-socialists please be respectful and try not to turn this into a "left vs right" debate forum by asking leading questions or by trying to draw others into a fight.

To complete the article, there are two levels of (public) social protection in France.

Unemployment insurance, which pays a percentage of your last salary if you lose your job, for several months.

The RSA, mentioned in the article, which is a survival benefit for people who don't have/no longer have access to unemployment insurance.

People do their utmost to get back to work before moving from unemployment insurance to the RSA, which is the gateway to extreme poverty.

This measure therefore attacks the weakest of the weak.

What a nice way to give LePen a few more angry voters…
