A key takeaway - There ARE people who think this way in high places. Very anti-God, typically Socialist, Mitterrand was. Not new, this sounds just like the Fabian Socialists from turn of last century - George Bernard Shaw or example? H G Wells? Still on mission.

2) From H G Wells: "The men of the New Republic will not be squeamish, either, in facing or inflicting death, because they will have a fuller sense of the possibilities of life than we possess. They will have an ideal that will make killing worthwhile." - Anticipations, 1902.
3) From G B Shaw: “You must all know half a dozen people at least who are no use in this world, who are more trouble than they are worth. Just put them there and say Sir, or Madam, now will you be kind enough to justify your existence? . . .
4) (cont) "If you can’t justify your existence, if you’re not pulling your weight, . . . if you’re not producing as much as you consume, then, clearly, we cannot use the organizations of our society for the purpose of keeping you alive, because your life does not benefit us.”
5) Really, think of this socialist worldview in terms of Platonic triangles. Anything at the bottom of the triangle that doesn't support the top is surplus. If you didn't get the memo, and you're not carrying a baton . . .
