Socialist, capitalist, whatever: Imperialism is the core value

So the new Socialist president of France decided to bomb Mali...Imperialism is alive and well in France despite a plan from the French Socialist president to tax the margin of income above $897,000 ($1 million in Euro dollars).

We're old enough to not be surprised that one has nothing to do with the other. There could have been tax cuts from a right wing French president for those earning income at that level, and we'd have seen the same bellicose actions against Mali.
