Finally an interesting revelation of wikileaks: It turns out that France would be number 1 ... in the field of industrial espionage, the scale of Europe. Better than Russia and China. (Cf lemonde.fr, 04 Jan 2011,
Wikileaks: economic espionage in Paris disturbs its European allies )
This
appear surprising and it is this surprise which will serve as a clue to explain why and how.
I) Special Case
Indeed France's relative decline is losing his rank. This decline does not appear legitimate, it is unwelcome. In France it has no oil but we have ideas ... Therefore we seek an explanation very comfortable. And we find: other spying powers our country.
is why we are surprised to learn that France is rather similar to that sacrifices practices.
And precisely because it is supposed spying by our competitors, it becomes legitimate to spy reply. Self-defense. And no matter that the opponent is poorly documented spying because we are good. The strongest opponent is supposed espionage, the most legitimate espionage appears in reverse.
The fear of being spied ultimately justifies spying. Classic. It appears ultimately logical that the countries most engaged in espionage is the one who most fear of being spied on itself. The revelation, assuming it true, appears ultimately logical.
II) General
The mechanism we have discovered appears to be a usual mode of evil, we condemn the evil to use but we are ready to sacrifice when we lend to our enemies want to use them himself.
The extremist groups are certainly sincere when they say they do not want lies and violence, but the belief that their enemies will use them to justify their use them themselves.
Note that the means we use are ultimately more revealing of ourselves than our opponent. Perhaps because they reflect our thinking and our intellectual framework, much more than the real person of our opponent.
More generally, the policy reflects camps that are structured in response to the political project they lend to the other side. So right there willing to coalesce against the press, national education, civil servants, they attack, giving these groups the desire to impose his ideas on the left when the tendency of these groups causes more mechanical. On the left we stigmatize the rich, almost openly regarded as parasites, entrepreneurs, merchants. Everyone wants the public good, social peace and yet everyone is ready to show at his opponent political enemy and an obstacle ...
And so each political group to unite around common values while condemning more or less explicitly opposing group as subject to the vices pending. Liberals say, do not whisper that our opponents do not like freedom? Say socialist, does not qualify secretly his enemies to be advocates of selfish individualism? Call feast a celebration of humanity Communist, is not removed from humanity those who are beyond the Communists and sympathizers?
The peak was reached with the ideologies which, as explained Solzhenitsyn, provide a complete explanation, refer enemy groups, reveal their nasty intentions and ultimately used to justify evil and disinhibit violence against them. Thus
of espionage ideology lend to the opponent with dark intentions is the beginning of corruption and conflict. The trial of intent justifies evil.
