The vote in France against American style "Robber Baron" captalism could be more ominous that many think.....
This was a total rejections of FREE TRADE CAPITALISM by a major nation in Europe.... Clearly the French and the Germans are not going to work for Polish wages....or Turkish wages.
The truth is that NOW ALL ECONOMIES WILL BE LOCAL....as they are naturally. THE ERA OF CHEAP LABOR CONQUORS ALL IS OVER......
Amazingly, it is possible that even the American voter is starting to wake up now....after the dust has settled and the homo terrorists have not struck....many people are noticing that their jobs and pensions are missing under Dubya and the neocons.....
THIS ENTIRE POLITICAL CLIMATE FEELS LIKE TOO MUCH EMPHASIS IS BEING PLACED ON THE POWER OF THE RELIGOUS RIGHT....AND THE ASSUMPTION THAT THEY CAN BE "KEPT STUPID" FOREVER...... I DON'T THINK SO.....
MY HUNCH IS THAT THE REPUBLICANS ARE GOING TO GET A BIG SURPISE IN THE 2006 ELECTIONS....THEN THE PROGRESSIVE DYNAMIC, NOW IN DISARAY WILL RE-ASSERT ITSELF.....
THE FRENCH VOTE YESTERDAY WAS ONLY THE START OF A LONG LONG PROCESS OF RE-DEFINING 21st CENTURY CAPITALISM....."AS IF" PEOPLE MATTER MORE THAN PROFITS......
Stay tuned....this isn't over in Euroland or in the US.....IT'S JUST STARTING!
