U sekciji britanskog lista the Guardian, “comment is free” stvarno odličnu analizu toga tko je i što Nicolas Sarkozy dao je autor Serge Halimi, (originalno pišući za odličan francuski “Le Monde diplomatique“). Članak je naslovljen sa “France’s Reagan has learned the lessons of American spin”

Nekoliko citata da vam potaknu apetit:

The favourite to win the French presidency is the chief executives’ darling, but presents himself as an outsider battling the elites

The second aspect of Sarkozy’s campaign that seems to have been inspired by the tactics of the US right is his attempt to reach working-class voters. In both countries it is of course difficult for a candidate who has the support of employers, and who demands the reduction of corporate taxes, to present himself as the spokesman of the people against the elite. Yet we know both Ronald Reagan and George W Bush managed it. An appreciable part of the disadvantaged classes voted for them, and got a decrease in real salaries and a cut in tax on higher incomes for their troubles.

Dakle, radi se uistinu o glasačkom paradoksu, ljudi (neka navodna radnička klasa) dobrim dijelom glasaju za kandidata koji je neosporno pripadnik elite. U jednom komentaru, osoba pod nickom nomoreaffairs komentira da je Sarkozyev vjenčani kum jedan od najbogatijih ljudi francuske, vlasnik radio stanice “Europe 1″ te ima udjele u mnogim drugim javnim medijima poput televizija i tiskanih novina. On je kandidat koji će im bez sumnje smanjiti radnička prava, a pogotovo socijalna i mirovinska prava. Pazite slijedeći citat:

Quote Sarkozy: “I want to say that suffering and the hardships of life belong not only to the France of insecure jobs. I want to speak of another, very real suffering … that of the French whose jobs are not insecure, who get up early, work hard, bust a gut to feed their families and bring up their children, and who I emphasise are also struggling.” Then, with a puritanism more familiar in the US than France, he comes to his warning: “I can’t accept there are people on unemployment benefit receiving as much at the end of the month as you people [wage earners].” He accepts it all the less because “widespread handouts reek of moral surrender. Benefits damage a person’s dignity.”

Njegova ideja borbe protiv “ljenčina na socijalnoj pomoći” jest da ih se prisili da prihvate jedan od tri ponuđena posla ili da izgube sva socijalna prava. Drugim riječima, ako se par velikih poslodavaca iliti korporacija zainati i počne nuditi usrane poslove za još gore uvjete (tipa manja plaća nego socijalna pomoć) mogu u par mjeseci natjerati ljude u robovlasnički odnos, jer ovi ne smiju odbiti usrani posao jer ostaju bez svega, a kad se zaposle moraju crnčiti za jako malu plaću jer u slučaju da daju otkaz opet nemaju pravo na socijalna primanja ili daljnji boravak na burzi nezaposlenih. Briljantno.

Dakle, Sarkozy je uspio potaći u siromašnih glasača mržnju jednih prema drugima te na taj način skupiti glasove i moć kojom će nagraditi bogate a siromašne još malo dublje gurnuti u govna. Nevjerojatno. Dobro promatrajte i učite ljudi moji, jer ovo i nas čeka…
