The recent French Riots can be seen in a number of ways...
But none of the "usual explanations" will suffice. They never do when it comes to riots and social disorder...because the elites are always eagar to explain away the troubles as "just a bunch of dead-enders" and malcontents.
But alas, gentle reader, we are perhaps entering a NEW AGE OF RIOTING AND SOCIAL UNREST.
And that the real and primary cause was the FALL OF COMMUNISM and the TRIUMPH OF CAPITALISM after 1989.
During the Cold War International Capital had an incentive to keep the lower classes happy and off the streets...after all, the SPECTRE OF MARXISM was afoot and that was a threat to the established order of things.
After 1989 that threat was no longer seen as important...ENTER THE AGE OF FREE TRADE. GLOBALISM. AND THE ABILITY OF CAPITAL TO WORK WITHOUT THE NEED TO RECOGNIZE NATIONAL BOUNDRIES.
THAT, GENTLE READER, IS ENDING NOW...
The REACTION against Free Trade and Globalism and International Capital, (represented by Jews to many Muslim people) is just getting started.
And it is A PERFECT STORM situation...with Euroland filled with disenfranchised increasingly radical Muslims...and the US with a growing underclass and a winner-takes-all economy... The recent Riots in Toledo, Ohio were likely just the start of unrest that will manifest itself in other areas as things continue to deterioate for working class and underclass people in the US... Need proof: Look at Dubya "approval ratings" lately!
Future Historians will likely see the coming AGE OF RIOTS as multifaceted... Partly caused by the redicalization of Islam caused by the Iraq War... And Partly caused by Globalism and the Triumph of Capital caused by the collpse of the Soviet System in 1989... Amazingly, the Fall of Saddam and the Fall of the USSR could be seen as MAJOR destabilizing events...that precipitated the unrest we are now finally starting to see... ALAS, THE AGE OF RIOTS COULD BE UPON US.
And what is to be done about this...? Any suggestions? Stay tuned...
