Tam once said that Europe has shown that it can go from zero to jackboots in five years.

How strange that so many on the Left, now that they have taken power, seemingly have forgotten Marx' dialectic. But as Trotsky might have put it: it doesn't matter whether you are interested in the Dialectic; the Dialectic is interested in you.
I think Tam is right. The French will be tolerant of the unassimilated "yout" up to a point. At which point the politicians will bend to the will of the populace and there will be some unpleasantness.

I think there are some rumblings in Scandinavia too.
