with making France the way it is now. It is not true that the unions had anything to do with chopping the French heads off, The rich at that time were royalty. Or are you seriously arguing that unions in France are cutting rich peoples' heads off in this time.
BTW Anything that happened in the past and was recorded is history.

Many wealthy were killed. Now, and it says now in the OP, people stay off from work when they think the government has overstepped their power. Those are mass demonstration. Unions. Sorry it triggers you but the truth of the op is obvious.
