1. admits he is not qualified to criticize Piketty, yet does so anyway in a way that reveals he never read Piketty's book

2. Tries to tie Marx and Piketty together in a dishonest way even while paying lip service to the idea that they are distinct

3. claims that groups like the Front National can be compared to the Tea Party in terms of economic policy

4. Implies that people are not rocking the boat due to dissatisfaction with economic conditions, even though the Right Wing movements that he praises are all based on the idea that society is falling apart-their solutions are different, but they also think the middle class is taking it in the ass

so much for the right's "serious thinker"
