... but more and more rich, it feels good, I would be remiss not to mention in passing this piece of anthology materialism droitard:
"In France, political hypocrites have applauded the fall of a dictatorship not long before they frequented assiduously, starting with those who wanted to hide the RCD (Constitutional Democratic Rally) party of ousted president was a member of the International Socialist.
All have forgotten that in 1987, the accession to power of General Ben Ali was unanimously hailed as a democratic advance, that under his strong leadership, the Islamist subversion had been contained, that Tunisia had become a modern country whose credibility allowed access to international financial market. Attracting capital and industries, the country had progressed to the point that 80% of Tunisians had become homeowners. This pole of stability and tolerance in the Muslim world often chaotic saw him come to millions of tourists seeking exotic tempered by very modern. Thousands of patients came there to operate at lower cost and for the same quality of care in Europe. In a country that spent more than 8% of its GDP on education, the youth was enrolled at 100%, the literacy rate was over 75%, women were free and were not wearing the veil on demography, with a growth rate of 1.02%, it had reached an almost European level. 20% of GDP was invested in the office and more than 90% of the population benefited from medical insurance. These successes almost unique in the Arab / Muslim successes even more remarkable than the difference of Algeria and Libya, its two neighbors, Tunisia has only poor natural resources.
- Tartuffe yourself! It is not "all the more remarkable, it is just an explanatory factor: the countries of Africa" develop "with fewer snags are often those that do not exceed natural resources, which do not envy.
Tunisians were therefore preferred that lacked a generally non-existent political freedom in the Arab-Muslim world. They are offered the luxury of a revolution in not seeing that they were shooting a bullet in the foot. Their euphoria risk also be short lived because the country will take stock of events which resulted in losses already amounted to over two billion euros in mid-January and who then represented 4% of GDP . Tunisia will therefore out of the race permanently impaired, like the tourism sector which annually receives more than 7 million visitors and is now completely devastated, its 350 000 employees who joined the 13.2% unemployment that had the country in December 2010.
- We had understood that it was paradise, where are the unemployed?
For now, the Tunisians have the illusion of being free. Even the most naive believe that democracy will solve all their ills, that corruption will disappear, that youth unemployment will be eliminated, while the rights of women will be saved ... When they find that they sawed off the branch on which they were ultimately relatively comfortably seated, their awakening will inevitably be painful. Already, in mosques, sermons radicals have again and they directly target the Personal Status Code (PSC), the unique status of women in the Muslim world. Imposed by Bourguiba in 1956 and strengthened by Ben Ali in 1993, he is indeed the total Tunisian women equal to men. Now threatened, secularism will gradually, but be directly challenged by the Islamists and Tunisia will be, sooner or later, faced with a very clear choice: anarchy with the economic and social collapse or a new power strong.
Any North Africa is undergoing shock wave Tunisia. Egypt is particularly threatened because of its appalling overcrowding, age of its chairman, the virtual disappearance of the middle class and its considerable inequalities social. Everywhere, the first claim is the employment of young people, especially young graduates who are most affected by unemployment. In Tunisia, on the eve of the Revolution, two out of three unemployed were under 30 years and they often went out of the university. The paradox is that, from Rabat to Tunis via Algiers, graduates are too many to needs. Once again, the myth of progress in European caused a disaster in companies, not being prepared to receive it, suffer it.
- That is already, if not just, I do not know, in any case a little less stupid.
In Algeria, where the state kleptocracy has squandered the immense wealth of oil and gas discoveries and put into operation by the French youth can no longer having to bear an oligarchy of old men justifying positions and gained a total social immobility in the name of the struggle for independence waged there are more than half a century. Although there are enormous social problems, Morocco meanwhile seems better armed to the extent that the monarchy is the guarantor of stability, because a young king was able to raise a new generation responsibilities and because the sacred union exists around the recovery of the Saharan provinces. But first, because Morocco is a true nation-state whose history is millennia old. There is a difference with Algeria whose youth does not believe in the future because the country has not passed, since France had given up its borders and its name. "
Having discovered my share via The Board I read from time to time this blog Bernard Lugan and finds interesting things
, although not knowing at all competent on the subject I will confine myself to save some disagreements between the mustache and the other Verschave the deceased, father of the concept of French Africa, whose books me a few years ago strongly stirred.
Reading this article, however, puzzled me. It is quite possible that things go wrong or return to the starting point in Tunisia, we'll see. It is also not here that we will confuse democracy and the Garden of Eden. But this way of saying to people: you have something to eat, so just shut up, is pretty disgusting.
(Just as the insistence on income from tourism: what drama my God that Occidental can not afford for a few weeks a small slice of "exotic tempered by a very modern," what cataclysm for the future of the country for a few weeks in the West nor come to pour his money , his arrogance, his shit and other legal substances! Bernard Lugan To take the word, one can only imagine the happy developments that made Paris a city of more and more dead, surviving only to give tourists the image they are looking for with the even blackmail the stomach here than there - Delanoe (great friend of Tunisia (and Tunisians "consenting" (belly filled asshole too)) and Ben Ali, same battle ...)
It has been criticized in Brecht's phrase "First comes food, then morals ..." ("Erst kommt das Fressen, dann kommt die Moral."), See a crude expression of materialism, or denial of dignity. Note that this sentence can also be interpreted as a mere reminder to those who not only live in comfort but can teach, it is easier to behave when you have the money when we do not ("A hungry stomach has no ears", after all), and return to our subject - materialist, materialistic and a half if I could hit in recent weeks left, we must give this a shot to right in the text, Bernard Lugan we finally said "First the food, then food" - is a bit short, Cyrano!
course reference is made to gender, but used the argument about "political freedom generally nonexistent in the Arab-Muslim world" here can be turned against the author: if the Tunisians were wrong to revolt because it was missing "that" this freedom that their neighbors do not have more than them, so there's not enough to cry over the possible loss of freedom for women, she even "generally nonexistent in the Arab-Muslim world. " Here as elsewhere we can think what you will, but we can not have it both ways: either one takes the perspective of values of the other (or others) or one takes the point of view of Western values, or even is varied points of view, a value-neutral perspective or from a normative perspective (which would for example, in this case, to say, in the context of the Maghreb countries, women's Tunisia is the best, and that's fine, although it is still not as good as in the West (sic ...)) but is cheating as a slide without warning point of view to another, use the context when it is supposed to serve the demonstration and forget where it may obstruct the proper conduct of this demonstration.
In this regard, and on that positive note I will conclude, the article of the same B. Lugan on Egypt, that one agrees or not his analysis, does not seem amenable to the same criticisms. "Still too cynical, never quite lucid," said, I quote from memory, the late Jean-Claude Biette: in the text that I transcribed and criticized today, it seems to me that we see clearly and concretely passage between lucidity (not a guarantee of veracity, but that is a commendable state of mind) and cynicism.
That said, I return to make money ("Three thousand ducats!")
and see you soon!
PS: a technical problem probably just stupid, but I can not solve, that I can these days to send emails. I apologize to the customers of the cafe that recently took the trouble to write, I tell them as soon as possible ...
