Never claimed it was a socialist country. Did point out that socialised health care was a feature. Unsure what's being clarified here, or why.
And it has that thanks to socialists
It seems that France, more and more socialist at the time since 1929(?), didn't want to attack the socialist-communists: German National Socialists + URSS in 1939/40 because of their alliance. and that would be why the need to surrender was so important despite pretty-okay infantry, chars and generals.
What? France surrendered because they realized they would lose the war whatever they did. Also Vichy France was very much Catholic right-wing.
