French president Macron has sparked a general strike by proposing to raisethe retirement age for the non-rich.I can imagine situations of great adversity where a democratic countrywould act justly by increasing the age for retirement pensions. Butsince that adversity would be fiscal in nature, it is a moralobligation to demand sacrifices first of the rich. Macron fails tounderstand this, because he believes in plutocracy.His main opponents, even more right-wing, are likewise plutocratistbut their stated ideology is to demonize some disprivileged groups.Right-wingers generally seek to divide people, so they use scapegoats.
