A European Prayer for the Paradigm

Please, Odin, we pray, let it be that the classic Marxist interpretation is applicable in these riot events just over the Alsace. We want to see social unrest whose causes can be fought with more money, more programs, more efficient campaigns of poshlost and policy.  However -- and here our Prussian accuracy and rigor blessedly kick in -- this must be precisely demonstrated. 

In order to exclude unpleasant surprises.

(Es ist sehr zu hoffen, dass die klassische Deutung zutrifft: soziale Unruhen, deren Ursachen mit mehr Geld, mehr Programmen, mehr Kampagnen effizient bekämpft werden können. Man sollte jedoch sehr genau hinschauen. Um unangenehme Überraschungen auszuschließen.)

Update: Dymphna spots this, and infers, or should, that the poshlost reference was jogged by her The Neighborhood of God. And in the same "prayer" post, she applies a spot of benedictory imagery to offset poshlost and misery everywhere for kitties and other living things:

eternal summer and slow moving butterflies.
