Against those who seek to pin the blame for the recent upsurge in France on Islamo-fascism, Russian socialist Boris Kagarlitsky sees the return of the proletariat--"a huge group of people doomed to labor in low-paying jobs when they can find work at all [and without] any particular loyalty to the state or respect for the law."

Why US big business is pleased with Alito’s nomination to the Supreme Court
President Bush’s nomination of Samuel Alito to fill Sandra Day O’Connor’s seat as an associate justice meets the demands of the corporate elite for another vote on the Supreme Court to slash government regulation of business operations.
