Class warfare American style
The idea of class warfare, which originated with Karl Marx, frightens Americans. But the form of class warfare that exists in America is not Marxian in nature.

To the outside observer it seems as if crisis following crisis is the “normal” state of affairs in France. Within France, the illusion that the post-Liberation social order would somehow be fundamentally different from that of the prewar regime is no more; politically, economically, and socially France today seems distressing…
