The Racism of intellectuals

[bandwraith at aol.com]

>From the translation:

"Shame on these successive governments, who
all competed on related themes of security and
the “immigrant problem”, so as to cloud the fact
that they primarily served the interests of the eco-
nomic oligarchy! Shame on the neo-racialist and
crudely nationalist intellectuals, who patiently
covered over the void left inside the people by the
temporary eclipse of the communist hypothesis
with a layer of nonsense about the Islamic menace
and the ruin of our “values” !

It is they who must now account for the rise of rampant
fascism, whose mental development they have cease-
lessly promoted."

This sounds familiar. The intro to "1984" ? As we slip
further into fascism, when we finally arrive, it will not
be the fascists so much as the so called moderates
and worn out liberals who will deserve the most credit
for completing the transition.
