Rhe wealthy want us to fight a culture war to distract us from the class war we should be having.
There was a class war, and the rich won.
There was one for the environment, and the rich won.
Now there is a war on Democracy. No spoilers.
In any war the only winner is the rich. If the rich lose, then it's called a revolution instead.
It was the bourgeois that win in France, not the peasants.
No they did not. Napolean was not the bourgeoisie that ruled a decade prior. The French Revolution ended their monarch and feudalism. The Bourgeoisie lost.
No, the Revolution got rid of the monarchy and neutered the clergy and nobility, but it was an urban revolution of the Parisian middle class, or bourgeoisie. The situation of the peasants changed little through the revolution, and it was persistent efforts of the bourgeoisie to impose Parisian culture on the countryside. It took until WW1 to construct a coherent French nation. Weber (not that Weber) showed that in Peasants into Frenchmen in the 70s.
And Napoleon had family connections in the Italian nobility. His uncle was a cardinal. His father was a lawyer and inherited a fair chunk of change. Napoleon was hardly any sort of peasant.
