This is intended to be the "final," unless someone discovers a major flaw. What I posted the other day, was a quote from the first draft. I am not sure whether the part quoted, then, was heavily or only lightly revised in this version.

It's late and I only had time to look at the beginning.

Most people vote according to the patterns of subjective personal identification.

This seems to be a central theme/point/supposition. Can you source it? (because it may not seem apparent to all)

By "subjective identification", do you mean group identities?

The success of the Left in the Twentieth Century may be largely explained by a ruthless application of this reality.

Ruthless in what way?
Application of what?
Which reality? That people are shallow or that personal identification or group identity plays a significant role?

"Racist," "bigot," "xenophobe," "neo-Nazi," "fascist,"

Le Pen has also been pointedly called an "Anti-semite" and a "Vichy-sympathizer."
Is there any substance to these charges or can you effectvely refute them?
You seem to be giving him blanket dispensation of these charges.
If so, you might as well list the charges comprehensively.
