gjohnsit — The pitchforks are coming out in Europe

Mike Norman Economics 2014-01-06

When you think of governments ready to fall in Europe, you probably think of Greece or Spain. Instead it is Italy that is warning of a violent insurrection.
 Events in Italy are turning serious. President Giorgio Napolitano has warned of “widespread social tension and unrest” in 2014 as the Long Slump drags on.    Those living on the margins are being drawn into “indiscriminate and violent protest, a sterile lurch towards total opposition”
The protest movement in Italy is literally called the Pitchfork Movement (Movimento dei forconi). Their demands are no less than the overthrow of the government.
