Left-wing politics does not mean trying to combine the interests of the ruling classes with those of the oppressed classes, within France's national borders, it means having the courage to fight on a world scale, where capitalists fight and unite amongst themselves. We are no longer in that epoch when even financial advantages did not make it easy for companies to relocate, since they were still relatively nationalistic. Nowadays it matters nothing to them whether they earn their money in France, England, Italy, Bangkok or Hong Kong. From the moment they realise there are more profits to be made in Hong Kong, they do not waver one instant. But the problem of these relocations is that they do not benefit the countries they end up in.
Businesses only go there to take advantage of low salaries and the lack of social provisions.
They do not create wealth for the country, nor do their actions serve to stimulate local development. We can illustrate this by referring to the example of the companies that exploit Indian children, working 12 hours a day in the production of footballs and golf balls to be sold in England, and the only link between India and England is precisely that, a worsening of living standards, the exploitation of children and the absence of any profits for the country itself. It is a catastrophe for the countries of the 'Third World'. We therefore believe it is necessary to foster not only social pressure for a rise in salaries, but also political pressure aimed at improving social conditions in France and at the same time promoting the real independence and development of these 'Third world' countries. Thus companies would not relocate in order to exploit lower salaries in these countries.
