I fail to see how a neo-nazi attack can bring more depth to this
subject. European elites have always used the patriotic and religious
fiber to counter the progressive forces emerging from the educated
bourgeoisie. They were already using it against Napoleon in Spain,
Russia, even in some isolated regions of France. The fact that these
attackers fail to see that Sarko is doing exactly the same thing now,
against their own class, shows that this strategy can only work with
the less educated. Anti-intellectualism is one of its current
manifestations. The plan is still to dismantle the wealth
redistribution system that was set up after the 1929 crisis and WW
II. It will bring uproar, civil disorders, hence the big focus on
"security" that is now the leitmotiv of Bush, Sarko, Harper and al.
