A slim pamphlet by a wartime French resistance hero, Stéphane Hessel, is smashing all publishing records in France. The book urges the French, and everyone else, to recapture the wartime spirit of resistance to the Nazis by rejecting the "insolent, selfish" power of money and markets and by defending the social "values of modern democracy".

yes, a bit of a nonsense I suspect with a touch of fascism involved which suits the relatively naive spirit of the age.

If Mr Hessel survived a concentration camp, I don't think he is likely to have been a fascist.

[woolybanana]

I use the word loosely in its sense of intolerence,

I tend to be loosely intolerant of facho garden gnomes so I'll give it a read.
