Only Bold Proposals Can Displace Globalism
Excerpt: The opposition between what are called populist movements and movements of so-called elites has long been complicated by a major paradox: the elites express, in elegant and apparently moderate terms, absurd ideas that are characterized in reality, by extreme violence. The discourse of globalization is nothing but shit in a silk stocking. Among its propagandists, we find well-bred persons who boast of every imaginable credential, but who say awful things and condemn a significant part of the population to social exclusion. In the opposing camp, we find improbable personalities, such as Trump, who certainly utter obscenities that are in fact much more reasonable and moderate in their economic, social, and demographic implications. [This is quite an essay. It asks plenty of questions and proposes some solutions. I’m not sure how much of it you (or I) will agree with, but the ideas are worth some thought. Ron P.]
