 Zemmour took the grade. Yesterday televisual troublemaker several times condemned

for incitement to discrimination or hatred, he would now see himself as caliph
instead of Marine. If the polls do not yet bring him to the level of the
candidate of the RN (ex-FN), his supporters are active behind the scenes and in
the street so that he finally becomes a candidate. Portrait of the postulant for
the title of first fascist in France. ---- Unlike many reactive commentators who
call themselves "anti-system," Zemmour doesn't spend his time in the media
regretting being ostracized there. No, Zemmour is a child of the system, he loves
the media and they give him back. He even owes his media explosion to the public
service!

It is indeed on France 2 that he gained notoriety by participating in the program
On n'est pas couché by Laurent Ruquier which will offer him for five years, from
2006 to 2011, an unexpected visibility. Five years during which Zemmour will be
able, within the framework of an entertainment program and without real
contradiction, to pour out a racist, sexist, homophobic, negationist speech
completely uninhibited. Since then it has been ubiquitous on television. His
presence as a columnist in a program Face à l'Info on CNews, the reaction channel
of billionaire and Catholic traditionalist Vincent Bolloré, ensuring the channel
its best audiences. His credo: to denounce "good thinking" to the tune of "we can
no longer say anything" repeated ad nauseam for over a decade in all media.

Zemmour's worldview condenses the obsessions of the contemporary far right. Its
postulate: Western civilization is decadent, its three main evils are Islam,
feminism and the "LGBT lobby". Whose fault is it? To "leftists", "leftist bobos"
and other "Islamo-leftists". Nothing new from this point of view, the thought of
Zemmour is a "right-thinking" of the extreme right. It is not, moreover,
originality that he seeks, quite the contrary. His words would be those of the
average Frenchman. Zemmour has even made a specialty of it, the argument of
"everyone knows»Serves as a starting point and a conclusion. A tautological
thought that would not pass the average at the baccalaureate, composed of a
pseudo erudition, unverifiable figures and scientifically inept correlations.
Zemmour's solutions are simple: send immigrants "home", get out of the rule of
law, end human rights in order to reestablish "France."

Media explosion
Zemmour's thinking is racist. He also claims to believe in the concept of race
and defines himself as belonging to the "white race". Immigrants are profiteers
at best and more often than not thieves as well. Muslims are all Islamists, their
project is to "colonize the former colonizer", he summons them to choose between
Islam and France (or the Republic, depending on). According to Zemmour, only
"remigration" will save France from "chaos and civil war", just that. Immigration
is, according to him, the " aggravating factor of all our problems", and Islam
the aggravating factor of the problems caused by immigration.

Zemmour's thinking is sexist. Feminists are accused of waging "a war of
extermination of the heterosexual white man". The theme of the castration of the
white man is omnipresent in his prose. Denial of rape and apology for sexual
violence are made in the name of masculine nature, naturally virile and therefore
violent, and of the "royal and patriarchal French" culture . In this war against
the heterosexual white male, feminists would be allied with "young blacks and
Arabs"- the only ones "authorized by the leagues of feminist virtue to
appropriate and keep the hated codes of the virile psyche of yesteryear"- against
the white man.

Zemmour's thinking is homophobic. The queer model would have imposed itself
everywhere. He would dictate to the poor white male "how to behave with a woman,
with delicacy and refinement". An inversion of values which horrifies him. This
"devirilization" is unbearable to him.

Relay in the bourgeoisie
Zemmour likes to portray himself as a self-proclaimed herald of "true speaking "
and the defense of eternal France. His France being only a condensed version of
bourgeois clichés: architecture, authors, gastronomy... An eternal France whose
beauty he likes to praise and to regret the decadence of parliamentarians, senior
officials or bosses in chic restaurants or private lounges where everyone shares
the same observation: the need to put an end to Muslim immigration. Everyone is
(would) agree with him, but only he has the courage to say it loud and clear.
Zemmour is the representative of this "elite" that he shouts at all costs, of the
"system" that he says he is fighting.

If his speech is banal from the point of view of the extreme right, adherence to
the theses of Zemmour is a signal that should not be overlooked. The question of
his candidacy is ultimately secondary. One fact is obvious: part of the
bourgeoisie and its political, media and financial relays have today rallied to
the theses of the war of civilizations, of the great replacement and of the
coming civil war that Zemmour prophesies.

When, faced with a presumed, fantasized or real crisis, an increasingly large
part of the elites openly and uninhibitedly supports fascist speeches, a major
anti-fascist response is called for. It is essential to accelerate the dynamics
of "front" of the organizations of the social movement according to the dynamics
that Zemmour will manage or not to print on the extreme right.
