i guess many liberals support communists, because they are scared of communists, and submit to them. french people have a reputation of surrendering. but it's nothing compared with liberals.
the liberal in the photo seems educated. many liberals are educated. they know that communism isn't socialism. they know what the bolsheviks did to liberals, after the takeover. and they probably know that lenin, trotsky, stalin, etc. called liberals "useful idiots". it doesn't make sense why they continue to support communists. many liberals seem to lack common sense. that possibly could explain their foolish decisions.
p.s. i don't think france was wrong to surrender to the NSDAP. their military was no match. and the NSDAP was not there to destroy france. if they didn't occupy france, the allies would have.
The french reputation of surrendering is grossly overstated.
Regarding WWII, it is my understanding that most of the generals and upper military leadership had been paid off to stand down when the Germans came into France, in addition to not really being in the mood to get into another protracted war with the Germans, many of the high ranking French military had been on the front lines in WWI and thus knew what that would entail.
Regarding Liberals, I think you give them too much credit. I know quite a few and they are for the most part extremely ignorant of history, especially those who claim to be communists.
