France Riots Could Serve as the Socialist Blueprint for the US

“Europe on fire is a warning for the United States,” a foreign policy expert said of the recent riots in France.

Nile Gardiner, the director of the Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom at The Heritage Foundation, joined Mark Guiney on the Heritage Explains podcast to discuss the leftist-Islamist coalition behind the riots and how the unrest could serve as a blueprint for replication elsewhere. 

“If the socialists, the communists, Marxists, the eco-green loonies manage to get away with destroying Western civilization in Europe,” Gardiner continued, “you can be sure their ultimate target is the United States.” 

Protests began in late September against teacher shortages and underfunding of education, and since expanded to include economic issues of high costs of living and public services, Reuters reported.

Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu this week blamed far-left groups for some of France’s worst unrest in years. “There is, after all, a far-left movement that wants to cause — we can’t put it any more strongly — profound unrest in the country in the run-up to the presidential election,” he said, according to Reuters.
