“Emmanuel Todd predicts the fall of the Soviet Union because the satellite state

–“Emmanuel Todd predicts the fall of the Soviet Union because the satellite states (like Poland) and internal (Moslem) ‘satellite states’ will prove non-absorbable. He also predicts that the USA + Islam were heading towards conflict because of, in large part, Anglo-Saxon feminism. The predictive power of this anthropological approach is also visible in the deep anti-universalism of the authoritarian family. The gypsies, for instance, refuse to be absorbed by other cultures even though they have no identifiable ideological commitments.”–
