As Communist hero and the “African Che Guevara”, Thomas Sankara, famously said: “A soldier without any political or ideological training is a potential criminal.”
France’s police have an ideology, because everyone has one: Only the truly apathetic or the most indoctrinated claim to not have one.
I’ll be honest: I have not attended France’s police academy nor read their training manuals so I can’t say for sure, but the ideology used to indoctrinate France’s police is clearly “White nationalism”.
The proof is not hearsay or just my 2nd-hand reporting from France: 52% of cops and soldiers voted for the National Front in 2015.
Estimates say 60% of active police will vote for Marine Le Pen this spring, more than double the current presidential polls.
This is totally outside the norm for French society, and it demands explanation.
For those who don’t know, the National Front is a “far-right” party. I would call them “Nazi”, because they are indeed “nationalist” culturally and “socialist” economically. It is really too bad that we cannot use the term “Nazi” anymore unless we are talking about history – we are just obscuring our shared reality by refusing to use quite simple political definitions.
Anyway, in a normal society, if a government would learn that 3/5ths of the police support far-right fascists they would respond immediately.
They would dilute such an extremist force with a huge influx of differently-minded government workers. They would immediately change the training procedures, manuals, workplace culture and lead a public campaign which says: “Mea culpa – we’ve got a major problem with our cops”.
France doesn’t do that, and won’t, we need to ask why: I say it’s because White Nationalism is the very bedrock of French society.
White Nationalism is also the socio-political foundation of the imperialist nations of the United States and England.
This is not to say there aren’t other important ideologies at play in these three countries, but it’s clear that socialism is not the basis, democracy is not the basis, religion is not the basis, libertarianism is not the basis…only White Nationalism fits, because true capitalists only care about the color of money.
White Nationalism was clearly the underlying philosophy that supported and was spread during centuries of colonialism, two World Wars and even in today’s neo-colonialism.
I am not exaggerating or being a namby-pamby leftist: the Blacks were enslaved and the Indians decimated due to the cleansing power of “White Nationalism”.
Trump is, for all his non-mainstream credentials, at heart a White Nationalist: “America first” – and they mean White America.
You know it’s true, and I am not blaming anybody for historical realities. Non-whites around the world know this is true as well.
But France flew under the radar for a bit
The world did not really know that the French inside France were White Nationalists until the nationwide 2005 rebellion (your “riot” is someone else’s “rebellion”).
That really shook up the world’s view of France and this is no exaggeration as well – France’s image suffered a major blow.
“But they believe in ‘liberty, equality and fraternity,’ right?” Nobody bought that line after 2005 and they sure don’t buy it now.
The 2005 rebellion exposed the fact that France has a huge non-White underclass which had totally blocked futures due to institutional racism.
It’s important to know why France’s White Nationalism was such a global surprise. After all, we knew about Apartheid, Jim Crow, Indian/Aboriginal reservations, etc.
The quick answer for that is: until the mid-1970s France had no real non-White minorities to systemically oppress.
Prior to that what France had was mostly a mass of foreign workers – single men with skills. Some married and integrated, sure.
But French society really changed – with the prodding of big business, and possibly for the actual humanitarian values they claimed – with the passing of the “Family Relocation Act”. This allowed mainly wives and children to immigrate to France to join their legally-working husbands. This created a major shift because it brought “whole villages” over to France.
It also happened amid a global recession, and then 30+ years of neoliberalism which gutted the standard of living of every French worker.
And while it certainly was the right thing to allow families to be together, it put the French model to the test as regards to tolerance and their model of assimilation instead of integration.
Considering France’s treatment of non-Whites outside of France…betting on France being tolerant wasn’t a very heady wager.
The French model’s inherent racism – which was so undeniably evident in its foreign colonies – lasted 1 single generation when it became applied at home: In 30 years, the time it takes one adult to reach total maturity, the system exploded under the weight of racism, hypocrisy and capitalist oppression.
You had the 2005 rebellion, and steam was let off, but the racism, blocked futures and police brutality have remained the same.
Or let’s blame the victim with the 10-cm tear in his rectum
Pretty terrible. Needed major emergency surgery – could be in the hospital for 2 months. Could have permanent problems of incontinence.
What kind of a cop rapes someone with their baton? Ugh.
What kind of cops stand around and watches? Well, they were also spitting on him, calling him racist names and beating him in the genital area.
I was talking to a 50-year old Arab friend here and I said offhandedly, “That guy could have been one of your sons.”
He immediately looked down in – I don’t know…horror, shame, worry – and said, “Yes”.
That guy is a 22-year old Black man named Theo.
Cops said they were responding to calls of drug-dealing in the area: Theo works with youth groups and has a spotless record.
Cops said they stopped him because they thought he was an illegal alien: Theo is French.
Racial profiling is legal in France. It was the only campaign promise Hollande made the Muslim, Black and immigrant communities – another backtracking by Hollande, and he dropped his half-hearted effort last July.
The great news is that France is one of those awesome, perfect systems called a “Western democracy”, and so there are checks and balances to prevent such racism from being formalized and entrenched!
Too bad the judges are racist too: the Constitutional Council said last month that racial profiling is a legal tactic.
You knew Theo had a case when Hollande came to visit him in the hospital. That was kind of a mea culpa.
But then the investigation of the policemen’s actions concluded that Theo’s pants “slipped down on their own” and that he was sodomized “by accident”.
They really did…they really, actually did state that publicly.
That’s when the riots got worse.
It’s bad enough people are getting raped with a police baton, but then to be forced to accept such a lie? To be forced to realize the system will do nothing, can do nothing, wants to do nothing?
That’s when people rage for accountability of some sort.
That reminded me of the 2005 “riots”: When did they really hit that high gear? When cops felt it necessary to fire tear gas into a mosque…during Ramadan. Again, adding insult to injury.
(Note: Right-wing rag Le Figaro is apparently now trying to whitewashing this fact of history by calling it a “rumor”, even though former Interior Minister Sarkozy admitted it at the time: “Et la rumeur voulait également qu’une grenade lacrymogène ait explosé au sein de la mosquée de Clichy-sous-Bois, lancée par la police. En plein ramadan…”)
I don’t know if we are going to see another 2005? But it’s been almost every night for a week, and they are spreading outside Paris now.
In 2005 it was sparked by the death of 2 teenagers at the hands of police harassment – this situation is different, but pretty brutal and reprehensible.
In my work for Press TV I called up the “Anti-Negrophobia Brigade” for an interview. I do not see that any French media has done the same. Hey, Iranians let all the Blacks and women go when they took the American embassy in Tehran – call us at Press TV biased in favor of the oppressed.
I first met their spokesperson, Franco Lollia, at a demonstration in support of a Roma who was badly beaten up. Franco is Black and French, but his name is Latin for “French”, the Roma are not Black.
Anyway, Franco knows the score. So he was, rightfully, totally uncompromising in his analysis. He was also not angry, nor surprised. Why should he be? Is any of what he said not accurate or new (The same type of rape happened last October, too.):
“This is a massive humiliation…attempt to degrade all non-Whites…to take away our dignity, self-respect and charisma…this happens all the time…daily harassment…he was lucky not to have been like so many others – killed…showing Whites are in control…the definition of ‘neo-colonialism’…massive police machine…White supremacy…never believe this is a country of human rights.”
The best one was this, which I used for Press TV: “French society today is not even close to admitting that their real goal is to send the message that: ‘We Whites are in total control’.”
2005 is 12 years ago, per my calendar
France is, indeed, not close to making such an admission. Not…even…close.
Let’s turn to the other extreme: France also cannot say that they have no idea such an issue existed.
Maybe in 2005 that was somewhat plausible? This is a predominantly rural country, and yeah there’s a kebab shop in every village but we can believe that some French people were genuinely surprised at the impoverished, marginalized condition of non-Whites in Paris or Marseilles.
But in 2017 they all have been made aware. The whole world knows.
And what has changed since 2005?
Well, it should be quite obvious that you had the 2005 riots, then the response of hardline White Nationalism, the open denigration of “ghetto” culture, the mainstreaming of Islamophobia and…then arrival of home-grown terrorism in 2012, the arrival foreign terrorism in 2015, the arrival of France being the #6 national supplier of terrorists in Syria.
Some of you don’t want to go there, I can tell…you can’t see the pattern and make the simple connections….
Fine, let’s talk certainties: After 2005 it certainly became a huge political winner to kick the tar out of non-Whites – Islamophobia became mainstream.
Sarkozy rose to power on it, Hollande did too and now Le Pen or Fillon is going to win by doing it.
It was – I’d say – in 2012, when the “Socialist” Hollande was running on Islamophobia…that’s when it became acceptable to openly support the National Front. Prior to that many voters were afraid to admit it.
Maybe I am being too harsh? Maybe 12 years isn’t enough time for the government – i.e. society – to fix this cultural problem of racism?
Certainly, enacting anti-burka laws, anti-burqini laws, ministers calling hejab-wearing women “niggers who support slavery”…none of this was aimed at rectifying the cultural problem. It was all more White Nationalism, after all, so it could only increase the lack of unity.
Maybe 12 years isn’t enough time for the government – i.e. society – to fix the socio-economic problems that non-Whites were so angry about?
Since austerity took control in 2009 it’s the non-Whites who lose first. I mean…c’mon, this is not cynicism; this is politics (Western, democratic, capitalist).
I could hyperlink dozens of reports detailing specific instances of the ever-worsening condition of the heavily-immigrant Parisian suburbs, but just use your favorite search engine if you are interested.
Tell Mohammad about Tommy – Commie can you hear me?
Back to Thomas Sankara, and true leftists need to return again and again to Sankara, because Communists need to examine what worked in order to win again.
Sankara is the type of role model these Black youth should be learning about in French school, as he was probably THE prototypical modern leader…and he did it in French.
Sankara led the Communist Revolution in Burkina Faso in 1983. Debt repudiation, refusing foreign loans, education programs, land redistribution, health programs, feminism – hey, this is what communists do when they get a chance.
The dude also played guitar in a jazz fusion band, gave Burkina Faso its current name (it means “Land of the Upright People”) and visited Harlem, where he gave such a speech that you can still buy T-shirts of Sankara across 110th Street today.
He was poised to take the mantle of pan-African leader from Ghadaffi. Instead he died at 37…with $350 in his account, a couple guitars and a small house he was still making payments on.
France won’t declassify their archives, but the French had him assassinated, by his best friend no less, Blaise Compaoré. After 27 years of pro-French dictatorship, and overturning Burkina Faso’s communist advances, Compaoré was finally overthrown. He’s being harbored in Ivory Coast, the capital of neo-colonial Françafrique.
But Thomas Sankara is not something French teachers like to teach about. They want to talk about colonialists, military men and all those 18th century statues paid for by unpaid slave wages…people who were nearly all White Nationalists.
Cry about “Political Correctness” and “victim of their times” all you want, but you can’t change that fact.
The foot soldiers of White Nationalism
The Politically Correct Revolution has helped to undermine petty nationalism, and that’s a real success, but one thing today’s Western leftists are simply terrible at doing is courageously rejecting their domestic militarism.
White nationalism requires constant militarism, after all: Militarism and vigilance against cultural contamination, intermarriage, religious impurities, etc.
It’s not just the soldiers: Nobody would call MSNBC shill Rachel Maddow a real leftist, but in the US she passes for one. Yet Al-Jazeera pointed out her book is filled with paeans to the US army. You simply must “support the troops” in places like the US.
In France, it’s not just the justice system which never convicts an officer of a crime if the victim is Brown; criticism of them is just as unheard of as in the US.
Journalists here actually reported that the absurd claim that the rape was “an accident” without irony! Without question! When these are the journalists, just imagine how the politicians are lining up in the ranks!
French leftists – but not just leftists, of course – need to demand major reform of a French police force which is clearly supportive of fascism, filled with racists and which acts above the law.
Support France’s cops and you are, as the 60% figure proves, supporting White Nationalists.
I do NOT support France’s cops one bit, because they are fighting this brutal war at home. France’s police are soldiers; let’s agree on that – they are a “home army”.
If you have never seen them up close, I can attest that their police are armed to the teeth and covered in American football pads.
There are always 4 of them. Why? “In case they want to play cards,” runs the joke! The real reason is for their safety – because 10- kilos of guns and ammo just isn’t enough – but a real outcome is increased intimidation, police groupthink and dedication to the police omerta code of silence.
The riot police – carrying shields, using tear gas, deploying water cannons, searching everybody and their bags – are clearly tolerant lovers of free speech, and they are happy to arrest you for trying to use it during the ongoing state of emergency even if you are a white hippie and not a Brown.
France’s police are not called “Revolutionary Guards”, like in Cuba or Iran, because there is no revolution for them to guard.
We must be quite clear on what is being guarded by France’s cops: It is an 18th century, capitalist, anti-feminist, slave-owning revolt against monarchy which explicitly said human rights are only for the landed.
That stopped being revolutionary in 1848. France was ahead of the nationalist curve, so let’s all agree that by 1917 the whole world had moved on to more progressive issues.
But not France – 1789 Salafism is still the fundamentalist way here.
Reject Communism in 2017 – a real left devoid of racism and capitalism – and what are you left with? You have a center proven to be totally phony and devoid of both heart and brain, and a right wing which, in Western nations, is the same-old White Nationalism from even before 1789.
Shoot, things are so bad in the West that real leftists are hoping the Trumps and Marine Le Pens do come to power, do throw a couple monkey wrenches in to the There Is No Alternative neoliberalism which has been reigning for 30 years, and do create enough ethnic divisions that people FINALLY see that only the real left can or should be in power.
In communism the police are indoctrinated – fine, I’ll admit it, and I’ve seen it in Cuba.
But it’s with the idea that class, not color, is what matters; with the idea that what part of the country you come from is not important, what’s important is that we are all united in struggle; with the idea that inequality is dangerous and wrong: with the ideas that racism, nationalism and capitalism are backwards, reactionary, dangerous, counter-productive, immoral.
Oh those terrible Communist police! We certainly must make them more like France’s, right?
The “Age of Enlightenment” but denying White Nationalism means you’re living in the past, and there’s a price to be paid for confusion. Unfortunately that price is mostly paid by non-Whites.
The lights in France each night are torched cars and garbage bins which have been lit by their oppressed underclass, their under-race.
Sounds like revolution..and it’s against White Nationalism.
The White Trash Revolution (WTR) will beat back this latest ethnic demand for more rights, just as it has won in Brexit and with Trump…but the WTR will, one day, progress into just a plain old Trash Revolution (TR).
And that’s when we’ll really have something.
Bravo Ramin Mazaheri! And thanks to the Saker for posting his terrific essays!
I heartily second that sentiment, AK.
Replacing the natives is not a exactly “white” invention. Economic migration is a direct consequence of globalist race to the bottom for cheapest resources. Natives competing for resources in their own home is the true origin of “white nationalism”. True, the die-hards tend to be less educated and more aggressive. Why should anyone’s national idea be sold to foreigners?
I really don’t know how I could disagree more with this. Not because I think most of the facts aren’t true. They almost certainly are. But with the conclusion and viewpoint of it is what I reject. It wasn’t “white nationalism” that brought masses of non-European immigrants to France. It was elite capitalism. As the author said in one part “the color of money” was what is important to the elite. But that isn’t true of the population as a whole. Not in France,not “anywhere” in the World.I’m really sick of the thinking that “Whites” or “Europeans” are the source of all “evil” in the World.I’d ask the author to comment on the feelings of Iranians towards Africans. Or to get closer,to the Afghan immigrants to Iran. There were even movies made in Iran talking about the discrimination shown to the Hazara peoples there. We hear about the Myanmar treatment of the Rohingya. A people that a couple of hundred years ago “immigrated” to Myanmar.The treatment they are getting makes France look really good by comparison.Many are murdered,are expelled,are fleeing for their very lives by the thousands. I don’t remember hearing of thousands of Muslims fleeing France before they are being killed.I could go on with examples all day. But these few are good to start with.
Slavery, “something in the past BTW” was horrible. I think we can all agree on that.But while we “agonize” constantly over Europeans slavery in their colonies. Let us not forget that the so-called Arab slavery (though non-Arab Muslim states shared in that) out did European slavery in numbers and the length of its existence.I don’t seem to see anyone talking about that,I wonder why that is.And while the numbers of Black Africans taken by Arab slavers was enormous.Lets also not forget there were many White European slaves taken as well. We see posts on here about the Crimean Tatars having taken between 4 to 6 million Russian,Ukrainian,and Polish slaves.And sold them throughout the Middle East. That doesn’t even touch on the amounts of European White Slaves taken during those centuries.Anyone remember the “Barbary Coast ” pirates that raided Europe for slaves.Or that one of the main causes of Russia taking over Central Asia was the Central Asian taking of Russian slaves. Thousands were freed with the fall of Bukhara. And the freeing of Georgia by Russia that ended the Persian (Iranian) taking Christian Georgian slaves. So unless people intend to say “all the facts”.Not just the ones that fit someones agenda. I’ll have to reject their thinking.
I could not more agree ! Blabla, even if from Teheran, does not make for any kind of intellectual stuff. Mass immigration of cultural and ethnical alliens that NO majority of any Western people ever wanted must make for the very starting point of each reflection on problems and consequences arising from it (like 60% votes for FN by French police). One must not mix up cause and effect !
The lore of the olden times is often irrelevant to the here-and-now.
Of course, we can say that Otto the Great, the German king and later the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire (White guy for sure), nearly collapsed the Mediterranean slave markets after defeating Slavs and turning them into dirt-cheap slaves in, probably, millions, offered for sale to the Saraceans (Muslim guys, definitely).
Back then both Europeans and Middle-easterns were in the same slave-trade boat.
What is here and now in France is complete alienation of immigrants by the French society. This is not officialdom, it is a commoner’s attitude that makes those immigrants absolutely hopeless in ever getting a chance to be accepted. And it indeed comes from the majority of the population who perceive themselves as superior, who do not want to assimilate the immigrants like Abkhazians did (Egyptian Pharaoh’s Negroes on one of the military campaigns reached the Caucasus and stayed there, now they are ordinary Black Abkhazians, though small in numbers).
Being in Russia, it is hard for me to understand the spirit of belonging to a certain geographical population group with the rejection or estrangement from neighbouring ones. I was told that in Bavaria Germans coming from other parts of the country would certainly lose to a Bavarian contestant for the same job. France is also fragmented, both linguistically and geographically, and so is Italy. Why don’t they take each other as equals? Examples from Russian history: hardly anybody knows (or cares) that the legendary hero Ilya Muromets comes from Muroma, a Finnic-speaking ethnicity, or Ryazan region, Russian-to-the-core, is largely populated by descendants of the Qasiym Khannate (Kasimov Kingdom of Tatars). They are all Russians now. Period. No matter their hair, eye or skin colour.
Why wouldn’t the French do the same?
WTF. Black is white. Down is up. If you don’t agree with me and hand over your money, your house, and your land, or you’re a racist white-supremicist.
These leftist cultural marxists never know when to stop.
40 years ago I saw the CNS police in Paris pull up in vans to an outdoor flea market and jump out dressed in full riot gear and they began to beat the customers and vendors at the street market.
I got in the subway and after a few stops, the police entered the train and pulled all the blacks and arabs off the train and then it continued without them. I could see the blacks being pressed against the wall and patted down as we left the station. Later the same day a north african man offered me hashish on the street. I refused and he called me racist and swore at me. That was one day; this ugliness has been going on for a long time, and the french are extremely racist and have alienated their immigrants.
I also think that cops are the same anywhere, just like capos in the camps were, willing to brutalize anyone for a paycheck and immunity from the brutality.
I’m amazed that not everyone knows or admits this.
Wait a minute? A North African man stops you on the street. Asks you to commit a crime and buy an illegal drug. You refuse,and he calls you a racist because of that. Does that not maybe cause you to think on that. You are thought of as a “racist” for refusing to commit a crime.
I also post it here because it just fits in: To Nussimien and all migrant’s lovers: The next innocent 22 years young girl was stabbed to death with a knife by a nigerian so called “refugee”:
Once again the girl was a refugees welcome volunteer.
https://www.welt.de/vermischtes/article162061763/Fluechtlingshelferin-in-NRW-erstochen-Mann-festgenommen.html
Kirov, that’s a sad story.
And yet it was the volunteers who were accused of repeatedly raping refugees in France.
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/calais-jungle-volunteers-sex-refugees-allegations-facebook-care4calais-a7312066.html
Here’s the latest similar story, but from Dunkirk, England.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/feb/12/dunkirk-child-refugees-risk-sexual-violence
The refugees at Calais were repeatedly attacked by far-right supporters, as the cops did nothing.
You can find many others easily online.
I don’t have all the data, but when the issue is crime and sexual abuse…I would put my money on the cumulative data proving that it’s the refugees who have more to fear from France than France does from refugees.
Why should the French ,or citizens of “any” European country that allowed “refugee’s” to come into their country. Have “anything” at all to fear from them. Not “sometimes” ,but anytime, ever. When a country “allows” you to enter their country. And especially if you claim “asylum” from persecution by another country. You would “think”, you would be on your best behavior always. You’d fear that they could, on a moments notice expel you back out. And so, would be “sure” to not want and give that country, “any” reason at all to do that.
The fact that isn’t the case ,is the whole problem.By the Europeans allowing anyone to get away with claiming “asylum”. And not vetting those people. You allow undesirable elements to slip in.And be a threat to your own citizens,if only “sometimes”. Sometime,is not acceptable.The fact they you allow migrants to feel you have no power over them. They can do what they want in your country.And you are powerless to stop them. There lays a big part of the problem.If European countries would expel (on the spot) “any” migrant causing trouble,and committing crimes. They would quickly understand not to do that in “your” country. At least those causing that problem would understand that. Since they’d be expelled,and so unavailable to cause anymore trouble there.
I think it is incorrect to call the ‘ideology’ of the Front National ‘White Nationalism’.
‘White Nationalism’ is the ideological justification of the dominance of the WASP (White Anglo-Saxon Protestant) conquerors of North America over indigenous people and imported black slaves, excluding non-whites from US citizenship. It grew further from the opposition to the extension of citizenship to blacks and degenerated into the fanciful theories of the KKK and the ‘scientific’ theories of Madison Grant who added eugenics to the soup. These theories had always an anti-Catholic edge. The idea of extermination of inferior races originates with the Anglo-Saxons too.
The Front National’s ideology is not predicated of any ‘whiteness’ of the French. They oppose Muslim immigration very vaguely in the name of «l’identité chrétienne» de la France, of the «16 siècles de chrétienté (qui) ont façonné la France». But most of all in the name of the ‘Laïcité’, a very leftie slogan.
There is nothing to try. Multiculturalism is inherently and profoundly dysfunctional. One can only watch the dissent into anarchy.
Saker is biased because he uses the phrase AngloZionist too much. If Anglo had any power over the situation as is suggested by the position of Anglo in the made up word, then there would be no Zionist, but since all the power does lie with the Zionist then the Anglo should be dropped altogether. The only role the Anglo plays is to be a puppet to sustain the illusion that Anglos have any control over their destiny at all. They do not. If they did they wouldn’t be being subjected to death by third world invasion.
“They would dilute such an extremist force with a huge influx of differently-minded government workers. They would immediately change the training procedures, manuals, workplace culture and lead a public campaign which says: “Mea culpa – we’ve got a major problem with our cops”.”
That sounds really awesome. The only issue with this is that this police would be pretty much useless. The other issue is that being a policeman is a rather shitty job where you risk your life pretty much on daily basis. I don’t know if you recall that a policeman and his wife were stalked and then knifed at home, in front of their 4-year old kid, at Magnanville, by an islamist.
There is an issue that goes beyond the cops’ individual mindset here. The reality is that they take a lot of abuse, day in, day out, and that working in the suburbs can be extremely dangerous. You can get fired upon with AK-47 and be on the receiving end of Molotov cocktails. Happened recently to a young policeman, got severe burns and extensive hospital treatment.
So yes, I’ll say it, the cops, in a way, are victims too, of a system that was put in place, of a multicultural dream that was set up by the “bourgeois-bohème” leftists, the “gauche caviar”, these socialist or conservative high-rollers who live in the 7th arrondissement, place des Vosges (à la Dominique Strauss-Kahn).
When you mix such different populations together, when the education system can not cope (and how in hell could it ? Having to address sometimes 10 different nationalities and 80% of a class unable to speak basic French correctly ?), then yes you end up with disenfranchised populations on one side, and cops which are getting slowly deshumanized on the other side.
In this particular case, I think it is horrible. The cop who did this should get fired and sued. We can not, under any circumstance, tolerate such brutality. But only if, at the same time, we keep in mind that this whole mess, this whole spiral of violence, is more than a few headline-making cases. It’s a systemic failure of the French political class, and all the French who, for the last 50 years, have voted and put in power the ruling parties.
I’m not one of them.
the cops, in a way, are victims too, of a system that was put in place, of a multicultural dream that was set up by the “bourgeois-bohème” leftists, the “gauche caviar”, these socialist or conservative high-rollers”
Huh.
Well, I thought the reasons there are North Africans and Black Africans and Syrians and Vietnamese etc in France, and Caribbeans and Pakistanis and Indians and Ghaneans etc. in Britain, is because these people came from these empires’ colonies and they actually had a certain right to dwell in the home countries of the empires that had taken over their countries. Why shouldn’t they take advantage of sociocultural and economic, and educational advantages in the countries that had sucked their own countries dry and impoverished them.
In other words: Blowback. That seems like the Occam’s razor explanation for the presence of immigrants in France and England, and not a lot of multicultural lefty dreaminess (now also add the refugees from MENA conflict zones). Since when did the left have enough power to impose its vision of society on France, or anywhere else in “the West”?
Empires’ chickens coming home to roost. Especially apposite in the case of France, where the overseas territories to a great extent were incorporated into France. I.e., Martinique is actually an “insular region of France”! Yet France was possibly teh worst of the colonial powers in the way they treated their subject colonized peoples and the outright disgustingly oppressive premises and objectives with which they sent their Foreign Legion out into the world to wreak havoc and, basically, steal from the natives. The colonial record of France is disgusting. So, tant pis.
Any country that imposes its culture on another shouldn’t be surprised in the second group show up and seek to impose their own culture on the first one.
Katherine
Katherine, “blowback” is only a minor explanation. One good example are the Scandinavians, who never colonized any country (besides Iceland, Greenland, the Faroe…), but were also imposed multiculturalism through some idealistic propaganda.
The destruction of Western societies was planned long ago by the Bilderbergers. Immigration correlates with capitalism and submission to the “Anglo Empire”.
When states are too weak to civilize their own country, money rules, redefines values and drives people in and out with no regard to the overall harmony.
The remaining structures of White dominance in Africa are those of capitalism, not civilization. We’re all the niggers of Wall Street now.
Thank you Katherine, you share my view. Chicken coming home to roast :)
Katherine excellent comment.
This indeed is blowback from the colonies. Unfortunately most of the comments are sort of defending the French by pointing out deficiencies in others. No, a policeman cannot baton rape anyone anywhere in the world. What the author is pointing out is that France has a problem, a racism one. We can all debate the origin, but the problem exists.
Another good point raised is that multiculturalism in the West is a recent phenomenon. In Asia this has been happening for centuries. Asia after all has been the big prize in history. Chinese are settled all over South East and South West Asia. Arab traders have been playing the silk route for centuries and settling. Asia is where the Abraham religions were born. People might dislike one another, but they have lived peacefully, until some major shift, like what is happening in the middle East turns their life upside down.
Someone needs to edit this down. It’s a bit badly written. But many things are true and informative. It’s interesting that people always mention Zimbawe and Mugabe as failures of socialist agricultural policy but forget Sankara who doubled his countries production. While the immigrant youth lack leadership they also lack the willingness to integrate, just like the French people lack the willingness to help them integrate. Considering the state of western culture one could easily claim that there is nothing to integrate into anymore, since everything has been privatized, individualized and become void of value and morality.
French people are predominantly and originally white Europeans ( even though there are numerous Jews, Arabs, Africans and Asians in contemporary France and some of them were born or have acquired citizenship ).
In other words, as the original Americans were the native “indians” tribes, so the native French are white and Catholic (descended by Celts, Roman colonists, Goths / Germanic tribes, some ancient Greeks and many more).
To be white European is not a crime. Enough with all the nonsense about “white racism” and the stupidity of “white Guilt” . Racism is to consider yourself superior because of your race . It’s not racist to not want foreigners or migrants in your country for cultural, economic or safety reasons. The racism Hysteria nonsense is promoted by elites in order to divide and conquer the various people’s. We constantly being bombarded about “Human Rights ” ( right to be transgender, homosexual, etc) but nothing about our true human rights for employment, health care, education, housing, welfare, safety etc
Most Europeans did not benefit from colonialism. In reality a small elite took the profits. Numerous Europeans worked as slaves in the colonies too or were forced to migrate in new lands to escape poverty (and usually ended up living equally miserably and working in apalling conditions ). Don’t forget also the millions of Slavs, Greeks and other Christians that were enslaved by Arabs and Ottomans. But we don’t read any articles about it and the need for compensations to be paid by (successor of ottoman empire) Turkey to Balkan states, for the lost generations.
Buts it’s part of human nature to be tribal.
In general, all nationalities exhibit similar tendencies, it’s not a “white” thing . For example, Iranians dislike Afghans, while Afghans have their internal tribal differences and hatred between them (pastuns Vs hazaras etc) . Arabs abhorre Persians, everyone dislikes Jews, and Jews consider themselves above all, the “chosen ” ones ( of course not all individuals behave like that, but there are tendencies and beliefs in whole nations).
There are also many differences and dislike between people’s of the same ethnicity concerning their social and economic status. Wealthy individuals (of any ethnicity) rarely (or not at all) mingle with their compatriots of lower socioeconomic strata.
Now, about national front.
The nationalism of National Front is defensive, not offensive as the 1930s nationalism. They have policies that are of antiglobalist and socialist orientation, especially in economics. They want to preserve the nation state and regain sovereignty from transnational organisations (EU, Euro zone, NATO etc). They don’t plan to start war and military expeditions into North Africa and Russia (btw these are the actual plans of “democratic”
NATO , US EU !!! )
And many of their voters were part of the working class who used to vote for the socialists and communists (who long time ago sold out and support EU and neoliberalism) . It’s these people who suffer from the effects of neoliberal globalisation such as chronic
unemployment, crime, lowering of wages and working standards, elimination of welfare provision etc
Will lepen be elected? Will she deliver?
I don’t know.
The thing is, France is in trouble and a radical reverse of neoliberalism is needed in order to help French people and recover the economy.
Thanks Xcv, the best reaction to Raman’s article so far.
Looking at what happened only a century ago we can say that now french officials behave better

Though I am a full-fledged anti-imperialist, I wish the Saker could remind his Middle-Eastern readers and guest writers what’s at stake in White countries: a permanent struggle of transnational finance against our civilization, in which immigrants are the former’s pawns against the latter.
Equality between nations cannot mean white bashing. This is poison from the post-1991 globalist Left. The correct leftist paradigm is EAST/WEST, not NORTH/SOUTH. Immigration is a Western (Bilderberger) strategy to disempower Northern societies and brain drain Southern societies.
Some facts:
1. In 100% of the countries, cops may misbehave. If they have to operate in the first place, it means that there is already disorder and unlawfulness. To restore order they may resort to violence, which is in itself another disorder. That’s modern life.
2. However, when a cop blunder harms a white person, or a Japanese, an Indian, or even… an Arab in an Arab country, the populace does NOT resort to rioting, as has just happened in France, and likewise in England, Sweden or the USA (BLM), with damages often reaching MILLIONS.
3. Therefore, the riots are the result of both impotence from the white state and irresponsability from the immigrant communities.
4. If White nationalists were in charge, non-Whites would not even be here in the first place, or, in the case of the US, would not be given the means to speak out and chimp out.
There is a “funny” game we could play. Its guessing which Western country is the most foolish. OK,I know most people would start out saying the US. I get that,and usually would agree with it.But certainly nowadays the US is having to work hard at foolishness just to keep up. There are some strong “contenders” for their title.France of course quickly goes to mind. With them more than likely going to replace Hollane with another Hollande clone.The UK is up there with their anti-Russian hysteria. Canada with their pro-Bandera stance on Ukraine. I’m not even going to talk about Eastern Europe. They’ve been “full retard” for decades. But the latest and probably strongest contender to grab the US title has got to be Germany. RT has an article today out about Germany .That “even” puts the US to shame in its foolishness.It seems a German government “commission” headed by a Turkish “German” recommends that non-German citizens (i.e. the “refugee” migrants) be “given” German “voting” rights in Germany.Let that sink in a minute.Foreigners flooding in to Germany,given the voting rights of German citizens.Like I said,that even out does the US in foolishness. This part of the commission “report” is the most chilling in its foolishness,”The paper says that Germany has to face the new reality of becoming “a country of immigrants,” like the US. It urges people to regard migration as something “normal,” which is an indispensable part of the globalized world”. Yes,ladies and gentlemen,we very well may be seeing the “crowning” of a new “champ” in the World. The US may lose another “number 1” title.And that is one title I won’t miss giving up to someone else.

Usually I agree with the articles here… but this one?
Calling front National a Nazi Party says it all. This author has no clue about what is going on in Europe nowadays. Defending your own culture and values, your childrens future against the continuous islamisation is a legitimate issue. People voting for Front National, PVV in Holland, AfD in Germany, Vlaams Belang in Belgium, and so on are normal people who are fed up with the genocide currently finding place against their own genotype.
