The Gist
The author says the riots in France today are the same kind of destructive left-wing radicalism that produced the guillotine in the 1790s, only now the Left has teamed up with Islamists to stop a shift to the right. He believes French leaders have hidden the truth about immigrant-driven violence and that the only fix is a return to Christianity.
Conclusion
The current unrest in France is the latest chapter in a destructive leftist-revolutionary tradition, now allied with Islamist infiltration to block a rightward political turn, and only a return to Christianity can save France and Europe.
Premises
- The French Revolution, the origin of the modern Left, produced mass violence, the Terror, a cult of the guillotine, the persecution of Christians, and a hostile secularism and rationalism.
- France never recovered from the Revolution's ideas, and its political class has continued to promote them.
- French governments (Hollande, Macron) with the support of EU and global elites have enabled Islamist violence by attributing attacks to mental illness and hiding perpetrators' ethnic origins, and the 'Great Replacement' is now a fact.
- The politically weakened Left is now burning the country to prevent a right-wing government and relies on Islamic infiltration as its new revolutionary ally.
- The unrest is driven by Islamist militias rather than native French people, and similar far-left protests in Italy and Spain show a coordinated Left-Islamist effort to stop Europe's rightward turn.
- Macron is weak and cowardly in the face of this threat, having fled the country.
Assumptions
- The modern political Left is directly and essentially continuous with the Jacobin Terror, so the Revolution's violence is characteristic of the Left today.
- The rioters in Paris are overwhelmingly Islamist and not ethnically or culturally 'French', and 'French' is defined by ancestry or religion rather than citizenship.
- The Great Replacement theory is factually true and Islamism functions as an organized political force allied with the Left.
- Simultaneous protests in several countries imply coordination rather than independent causes.
- Government non-disclosure of perpetrators' origins is deliberate concealment rather than ordinary legal or privacy practice.
- Secularism and rationalism are inherently destructive, and Christianity is the necessary remedy for social order.
