Well, that's textbook Marxism, strong here in the US, I assume much stronger in France (after all the French Communist Party is still competitive to a fair degree, per Wikipedia was part of the "Plural Left" coalition that held the legislature from 1997–2002).

ADDED: and our path is particularly odd there: as has been joked for some time, there is no French word for entrepreneur.
