Re: Juan Branco: "Yellow Vests and the Twilight of Macron" Archived Message Posted by Tomski on September 4, 2019, 12:01 am, in reply to "Juan Branco: "Yellow Vests and the Twilight of Macron"" The guy to watch. The outsider. As he says, on the actual outcome of the French Revolution: The issue is that you create a new class, the bourgeoisie, that necessarily, after a few generations, will use its access to the core of the system to take the power for themselves and to reproduce their privileges. Because with this power comes a lot of advantages: you have the symbolic recognition, a nice way of behaving, a nice way of living, access to public resources, and so forth. And therefore, generation after generation, things gets worse, until you end up with these oligarchs and their heirs on the one hand, and, on the other, the furious Yellow Jackets, who are just normal people who want not only to feel represented again ... Quite impressive. Message Thread: Juan Branco: "Yellow Vests and the Twilight of Macron" - margo September 2, 2019, 8:28 am Great find, M. Thanks. Juan is one to watch, clearly.
