4th Generation Warfare Handbook by William S. Lind and Gregory A. Thiele, isn't just a book about war.
It's intent was to give the American military enough of an understanding and framework to provide them with an ability to actually win on the ground.
And it's lessons also work for every polity.
It also explains why Paris is burning.
For my entire life, the French system has been far more leftist than most Americans could imagine. Everyone, communists, socialists, and every faux conservative afraid to be callled a fascist, conspired to keep anyone named Le Pen from running the country. It is not actually clear how right wing they actually are, and it is unlikely that they are the answer to this particular situation. But, one presumes a term or two of something less globalist than administrations past may have defused the populace.
But the boiled frogs aren't going to take it anymore. The temperature is now rising to fast. Their government is dedicated to importing people who are not French, taxing the French in order to achieve non-French goals, and following the mandates of the EU.
In doing so, the French government is invalidating itself. Everyday it harms its own legitimacy. Because everyday it reaffirms a commitment to all sorts of things, but just not the French people.
The French government is now in the same position as the U.S. Army was in some Iraqi town. It is a misbehaving occupier, and the number of people who see it as illegitimate is spreading like wildfire.
