    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    The Arab Spring failed. Jihadists took over the movement.

    That was probably predictable. The old guard launched a war, but they will not live forever and the young want different things and are not satisfied with just surviving and living in the past or with fundamentally corrupt governments. They are becoming far more educated because of the internet. They will eventually separate the forces of religion from the state and reject puppet governments. It's just a matter of time.

    Too few and in only the major cities. That is why the uprising in Iran failed.

    That will certainly happen if people continue to be complacent and distracted by shiny things.

    Its a new kind of fascism. Mussolini said it was the merging of corporations and government.
