I think France is going to die and that's it. Welcome to the islamic republic of Merdistan.

Nothing to say...

Appart from the last picture. It seems that photoshop can do really good things...
Moreover there aren't such flags on the other pictures.

Finally : if you analyse the details of the picture (because a normal eye can easily notice it), it's completely fake.

Stéphane, smartass, it's an AP picture! It's not mine, it's Associated Press. You know what Associated Press is, right?

You can deny as much as you want, this picture is real, taken in Moscow on Red Square. Please also notice the islamofascist terrorist recognition sign: the keffieh.

Three totalitarianisms in one. Three socialisms.

Of course, if you had only read (and understood) the article I linked to, and knew anything about nazism, communism and the USSR, you wouldn't ridicule yourself that way.

And here it is again.

A member of the National Bolshevik Party gestures during a rally to commemorate the Bolshevik Revolution, marking a long-sacred former holiday that was an official working day for the first time in decades in Moscow, Monday, Nov. 7, 2005.

And another one.

The leader of the National Bolshevik Party Eduard Limonov attends a demonstration marking Revolution Day in Moscow November 7, 2005.

Actually, about "Enjeux les Echos", november 2005: the editorial's title is «The country that didn't want to change», and it sets the tone: «Rather dead than liberals. Rather dead than bowing down before those countries that managed to cure the evils we're suffering from. Rather dead than surrendering to common sense...»

Very good article as usual. Just to be fair with Enjeux les Echos:
This is the best paper on Free trade Market I've read and worth reading one.
But you're right, for the cover, they're using a hat trick:
Most of the french have this picture of liberalism in head. So, it's simply a marketing way to sell more magazines.
The problem is:
People who have a priori on free-trade market will buy and will see that it's not so bad.
People who think bad and who don't buy the magazine will go on thinking bad.
> Maryse: For the sentence that you states, the writer who is a pro-free-trade thinker, is just repeating what most french are thinking to criticize it.
For communism, I'll add that the worse is not said here: right now, you can't watch a TV show without listening to a communist thinker. They're invited on each political program. It's incredible, when you think their bad results on the last poll! So you see they're alive and kicking. For myself, I wonder how deep was KGB and french officials mixed together?
I've just add on my blog a russian dissident's text on post-communism.

I think that every french pro-trade thinker could consider himself as a dissident. We're standing on an island of in the middle of crazy people. The only difference with USSR: the quantity and the quality of food. They say you can't think when you're hungry. Here it's the very contrary: you can't think when the only thing you've got in mind is what you're going to eat.

Nothing new under the sun: "Panem et Circenses"...

Jean-Paul, Maryse,

Have you read this special issue of Enjeux Les Echos? I was wondering if it was worth buying.

I don't really blame them for using a wolf to describe how "le libéralisme" is seen in France. That's precisely how most people see it. But I'd like to know if they agree with that vision or if they defend liberalism in their pages.

It's realy worth buying. It's a well writen and very objective. It is not treating free trade market as an ideology, but as a doctrine( as it should be). It analyses the pro and the contra. The people of Enjeux les Echos can be heard also on a very good podcast, on the radio BFM, which is named good morning w.e.

I advice you the two last one (pay attention it's also mixed with the bolcho team of Courier International, which I don't advice you).
For the cover, myself I've been writing a book (to come) on GMO, and of course I'll use Greenpeace and Bové, since I criticize them. But I want to sell my book, and I'm not going to show the portrait of Shapiro. CQFD. That's the problem of democratie. Isn't it?
But you're right: french have serious mental illness with their supporting of comies and their hate of liberalism

Thanks, Jean-Paul.

LMAO@"Merdistan"!

France will not choose any prior totalitarianism; it will evolve into a uniquely French one.

That's not precisely a keffiyeh, btw. But you probably know...
