Name me a successful socialist country past or present.
Put your answers below
Paris will suffer the same fate as New York
Rigged elections
Bicycle should have more sace in this ego machine world! Velo electric cars are suppressed by industry! Alpha!
CHEATING OBVIOUSLY..
WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MINDS..
VOTES FOR THE LEFT 🤔🤨
I’ll give him my support – simply can’t abide the never-ending drudgery of the clenched-sphincter entitled class.
Mark Rutte, anything but a socialist, also often cycled to work and so did Boris Johnson when he was mayor of London.
Just what Paris needs 😂 another nail in the coffin.
I general lean socialist, but word of wisdom to all: it does not matter “what” you call yourself or what others call you or if you get to work on a bike or not. What matters is you help uplift people and create a safer community and country both internally and externally. Though politics is a den of snakes the only way forward is through cooperation with each other
Yet none of those people live in Paris I bet 😂
BS…
Another politician elected by the foreign vote doubtless ….
Obviously put in not won to get in
Finally some hope!
Trump has certainly shifted global politics to the left. I thank you sir 🤣
Ooh La La. Look at me. I’m just an ordinary guy like you on Le bicycle 🥖 🥐 🐩
Wait until the socialists run out of other people's money…

The Socialist vote holding up well there. Might be a sign of things to come? Many people have no preference, despite all the scare stories.
The final nail in the coffin 😂😂 hasta la vista paris
Oh dear. Watch France fall….
Wow! He's trying to make a statement that he's a common man and an environmentalist. 😂😂😂. Yeah right.
