Monday 13 February RNW - NEWS AND ANALYSIS FROM THE NETHERLANDS IN 10 LANGUAGES, WORLDWIDE 24/7 ON RADIO, TV AND ONLINE
untermensch 16 October 2009 - 6:44pm
Wilders is foremost a clear example of pervasive anti-intellectualism within contemporary European politics - reductionist in every sense. First, he has a horse-sighted view on Islam (there are hundreds of strands within Islam), second, he omits from his analysis' the pervasive structure of global capitalism / neo-liberalism itself that forces thousands of poor displaced peoples from poor countries to seek better livelihood opportunities in the EU (weren't the generations of Dutch colonizers in the East Indies doing the same thing?) This all implies that he believes that some people are less equal than others - and that kinda smacks of fascism - if not racist, given that Wilders' own great-grandmother was Indonesian, no?
