Some people deny that any postwar Western country can be a dictatorship. Yet Francisco Franco ruled Spain in my lifetime. And Ronald Reagan expressed admiration for Franco.
Under right-wing President Emmanuel Macron, France is essentially a dictatorship. Now Macron is digging in his jackboots further by saying he is open to "experimenting" with mandatory uniforms in public schools. According to the AP, Macron's plan to "experiment" on France's schoolchildren came after right-wing politicians expressed support for school uniforms. Right-wing politicians? You mean like Macron?
This is only the latest in a series of affronts to civil liberties plaguing the country. Macron isn't the only culprit, as other top French officials have also attempted to fan the flames of fascism, often pointing fingers at political foes.
