The abolition of capital that Marxists propose is unrealistic as capital is intrinsic to reality. The only real solution we have is to subvert capital to the will of an ideologically-motivated martial class. Liberalism is bad because society is ruled by the burghers, a class whose only desire is the acquisition of capital. This ultimately leads to society enacting seemingly self-defeating policies as it's not longer motivated by its own self-preservation but by the acquisition of capital. A revolutionary party ideologically motivated by the furtherance of the interests of the nation above all else would be able to subsume capital beneath itself in a fashion similar to how the feudal aristocracy was able to. This party would act as the mediator of class disputes between worker and burgher and would assure that the destructive tendencies of both classes were kept properly in check. This destructive energy would be redirected outwards in the form of wars of conquest and colonization which would offer material rewards to both worker and and burgher alike at the expense of non-citizens.

If she lived today she would run a porn studio. She was famous for going after young girls and when they aged past her taste would hand them off to Sarte. She even wrote a paper on why age of consent laws should be banned and that love transcends age.

This seems to be a common theme amongst French thinkers. Is it just a coincidence or is it cultural?

No clue. I have heard France being accused of being very insular intellectually speaking. They aren't particularly interested in anything outside of France, but when one of their thinkers gets international renown that person more or less has immunity against any and all crimes.
