Socialism’s Riots
William F. Buckley, Jr. on the French riots:
My view is unorthodox, Mr. Buckley says of the violence roiling the French suburbs. It seems to me that a very hard dose of market discipline would distract the attention of the young revolutionaries from their frolics, traditional and otherwise, and my sense is that if they had to worry about how to eat, and buy food, they would stop screwing around and face reality. If these people didn’t wake up in the morning thinking about what cars to burn–instead of work–they might not be having these problems.
Combined with the radical Islamicism, this socialist cocktail that Buckley rightly criticizes is harbinger of things to come in France and other European nations with significant Muslim populations.
Erstwhile, the riots continue.
