The situation in Madison and, more generally, in Wisconsin, is henceforth more a model than a test; a model of what could and should arrive in the other States of the Union (Nebraska, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, etc.) subjected to the same conditions (a republican governor, radical laws against the public spending and the public services, very strong mobilization, radical and pugnacious, against these laws), - more that a test the out exit of which would determine and would end a local battle in the standards of the law. The situation presents the model of insoluble conflict by ways of legal compromise, enters an authority elected with a legal majority and a population which we can consider majority and which shows itself mobilized and ready for radical actions, with the support, voluntary or forced, of powerful political and labor-union structures.
For the protesters, the action of governor Walker making vote for his law from legal requirements looking like an operation of manipulation in spite of the absence of quorum due to the absence of the democratic opposition to the Senate of the State is similar to "coup d'état". The answer is immediately organized under the shape of a very intense mobilization, which looks like more the preparation of a new battle on a new ground, much more explosive than what preceded, that in a last-ditch struggle.
The most moderate, in the structures of the democrat party, intend to accelerate procedures of cancellation of very controversial elections of at least six republican senators of the State. A reversal of the result in these elections, very likely in the current climate, would change the balance in the Senate of the State and would return the application of the almost impossible voted law; we imagine easily which conditions of tension, and which confrontations, should create of such continuation.
It is difficult to think that the action of governor Walker and the vigor of the reactions which followed, starting so many diverse associations as "basic protester", while legal battles announce, that we speak actively about a general strike, that the same general battle gets ready in the other States, - it is difficult to think that all this can result in a reassurance or a compromise. Both parties too much took refuge in radical positions and extremists; too many contradictory interests are at stake, too many unverifiable groups and activists are involved, too many poignant situations and furious resolution in the population exist, too much publicity was made on this tension and the stake in cause, so that this crisis calms down of itself, according to the legal procedures of the System which protect its own stability, as it is the habit in the USA.
Suddenly, it seems that this quarrel constitutes as the ground, the ideal battlefield of the general tension which does not stop tearing more cruelly two "camps" in outlines badly defined, in the purposes badly enlightened, with the characters badly specified, which have for peculiarity only to express an antagonism, an internal hatred in the USA of a vigor which has not enough precedent, an irrational power which seems to us without possible return.
Wisconsin, represents what is this crisis itself certainly, that is a confrontation between two visions fundamentally different from situations and from social relationships; but it is extremely unexpected, and just as much significant, than the quarrel so becomes inflamed in spite of the fact that we judged to be as an indestructible cement, which is the Americanism with all its skillful and insinuating mechanisms to suppress the popular expression; what leads to think that the crisis of Madison, Wisconsin, it is the expression of something which is much more than the crisis of Madison, Wisconsin, that it is the expression of the fundamental report of the progressive disintegration, the latent explosion of this monstrous artifact of power that are the USA, that is the heart and the engine of the System.
There have been already situations which reminded this dynamic and symbolic representation of the fundamental dissension in the USA; nobody gathered the conditions, the character, the climate and especially the psychology which would make it "perfect storm" which would affect America itself after the practices of the Americanism activated this hurricane in so many foreign territories. Then, the hurricane relieved by Madison, Wisconsin, could make cross the stage of the "progressive disintegration" to that of the hasty and explosive disintegration …
There is in these impressive events of power, rhythm and speed, number of characters to remind that is effectively begun the last route of the final Fall of the System.
