C'est l'histoire d'un mec...

Un électeur FN, normalement, c'est une personne âgée assez aisée, qui aimerait interdire le rock, la techno et toutes les musiques de "jeunes", qui vit dans un village paumé à la campagne et qui n'a jamais vu un Arabe de sa vie, une personne xénophobe pleine de préjugés qui regarde trop TF1. Ou bien c'est un pauvre gars inculte faisant partie de la frange la moins éduquée de la population, qui ne comprend pas le monde dans lequel il vit... <p style="text-align:right;color:#A8A8A8"></p>

L’extrême droite bat le pavé parisien

Participation en hausse pour le traditionnel défilé de mai. À noter cette année, un cortège unitaire du Front populaire solidariste et la participation de l’Œuvre française et ses Jeunesses nationalistes. Croix celtiques au début du cortège. © Julien Licourt L’extrême droite radicale a fait son défilé annuel, dimanche 13 mai, rue de Rivoli, à Paris. Les mots d’ordre étaient multiples cette année mais dans la droite ligne des appels des années précédentes. À savoir: “ Pour la France, Jeanne d’Arc, contre la mondialisation et pour la mémoire de Sébastien Deyzieu ”.

Voter front national, une connerie

“On nous explique que ce sont des gens malheureux, qu’ils sont tristes.

Petite remarque à caractère historique… Hier, Sophia Aram dans sa chronique humoristique de France Inter a lancé à propos des électeurs du FN (après avoir passé un extrait sonore) : “ Même si on n’a plus le droit de dire que ce sont des gros cons, c’est quand même pas mal imité, non ?” Je ne porte aucun jugement sur son propos : l’humoriste a tous les droits.

Front national : les “gros cons” et les “salauds”…

In the first of a three part series, Dr Geoff Davies considers the worldwide shift to the political Right since the 1980s, and how traditional conservatives have now become radicals. There has been a world-wide shift to the political Right, beginning about 1980 and since then becoming progressively more extreme. This Rightward drift may have been interrupted in the recent elections in the United States, but it may well accelerate in Australia if the Coalition wins in September. Already there has been serious damage to our social fabric, our democratic institutions and our legal and human rights, with rather less economic benefit than is usually claimed.

The rise of the Radical Right

The rise of the Radical Right (Part Two): False economics

In this second part of his three part series, Dr Geoff Davies looks at the causes of the dramatic political shift to the Right since the 1980s, along with its flimsy basis. [ Read Part One: A dramatic shift to the right ] [ Read Part Three: Consequences and prospects ] There has been a dramatic shift to the political Right compared with the postwar decades, and what is now called Right is radical rather than conservative.

The rise of the Radical Right (Part Three): Australia today

In this final part of his three part series, Dr Geoff Davies surveys the current political scene, including the disarray of the Labor Party, from a longer perspective. [ Read Part One: A dramatic shift to the right ] [ Read Part Two: Causes of the shift to the right ] There has been a dramatic shift to the political Right compared with the postwar decades, and what is now called Right is radical rather than conservative.

A vote for anarchy

The political philosopher Jacques Rancière would like to encourage the disruption of the normal order that is real democracy. Julian Baggini hears his campaign If you rage against the growth of consumerist individualism, the dumbing down of education in the name of widening participation or the shallow hedonism of modern life, you're probably just expressing a deep-rooted hatred of democracy. That's the provocative thesis of Jacques Rancière, one of France's leading political philosophers, who challenges head on the tendency of leftist intellectuals to combine a professed concern for the masses with a haughty dismissal of virtually everything the masses actually think or do. You'd be in good company, though. Rancière claims that hatred of democracy - a phrase he uses as the title of his latest book - is as old as politics itself.

Jacques Rancière

Jacques Rancière (born 1940) is a French philosopher , Professor of Philosophy at European Graduate School in Saas-Fee and Emeritus Professor of Philosophy at the University of Paris (St. Denis) who came to prominence when he co-authored Reading Capital (1968), with the structural Marxist philosopher Louis Althusser .

Hatred of Democracy

I read Ranciere's Hatred of Democracy yesterday. There is something appealing in his discussion of the scandal of democracy, although, ultimately, I'm not convinced of his underlying thesis.

Hatred of Democracy, by Jacques Rancière tr. Steve Corcoran London: Verso, 2006 (or. pub. 2005) Reviewed by Todd May | The Institute for Anarchist Studies

Jacques Rancière’s political writings have become essential reading for those wanting to extend contemporary political antiauthoritarian thought. Although his major political works, especially Disagreement , were published in the 1990’s, he has recently written a text that addresses contemporary political issues in an anarchist way. In fact, Rancière is the only major thinker in recent French thought who is willing to embrace the term anarchist.
