Bonjour, mes chers amis français de la diaspora,

on ne lit plus rien dans les médias francophones depuis hier matin - prépare-t-on la révolution, et si oui, qui va gagner ?
Pouvez-vous nous donner quelques informations, s'il vous plaît ? Merci beaucoup et amusez-vous bien

Hallo, meine lieben französischen Diasporianer,

man liest in den deutschsprachigen Medien so gar nichts mehr seit gestern frĂĽh - plant man die Revolution, und wenn ja, wer gewinnt?
Könnt ihr uns etwas informieren, bitte? Vielen Dank, und viel Spass

Don't Buy Into Phony Anti-Establishment Schtick

#politics #establishment #revolution

If at the end of the day they wind up telling you to support Republicans or Democrats, or to support the “good kind” of Republicans or Democrats, or to support any other mainstream western political party, then they’re engaged in the exact sort of manipulation I’m describing here. They’re trying to corral you away from a real revolutionary political movement and back into the mainstream flock.

A quotation from Steinbeck, John

Except for the field organizers of strikes, who were pretty tough monkeys and devoted, most of the so-called Communists I met were middle-class, middle-aged people playing a game of dreams. I remember a woman in easy circumstances saying to another even more affluent: “After the revolution even we will have more, won’t we, dear?” Then there was another lover of proletarians who used to raise hell with Sunday picnickers on her property.

I guess the trouble was that we didn’t have any self-admitted proletarians. Everyone was a temporarily embarrassed capitalist. Maybe the Communists so closely questioned by the investigation committees were a danger to America, but the ones I knew — at least they claimed to be Communists — couldn’t have disrupted a Sunday-school picnic. Besides they were too busy fighting among themselves.

John Steinbeck (1902-1968) American writer
Essay (1960-06-01), “A Primer on the Thirties,” Esquire
