Michael Kazin the 63 year old US history professor, co-editor of Dissent magazine and former member of Students for a Democratic Society during the 1960’s, has released a book titled ‘American Dreamers: How the left changed a Nation’. Kazin in an interview with thebrowser, states “…the populist movement of the 1890s and the Socialist Party in the early 20th century … articulated an anti-corporate platform which continues to be influential even in the Occupy Wall Street demonstrations … you have civil disobedience, which abolitionists were known for. You have nonviolence and a “beloved community”, which civil rights protesters were known for. And you have a very strong emphasis on the 99% being injured by the 1%, and a critique of American democracy as being corrupted by big money, that began in the late 19th century…”

François Gérard Georges Hollande the 57 year old French politician has won the Socialist Party’s presidential primary, entitling him to challenge Nicolas Sarkozy as the Party’s nominee in the 2012 presidential elections. Hollande considered a moderate won nearly 57% of the vote beating his rival Martine Aubry, who is largely credited with the introduction of the 35 hour working week. Hollande is the former partner of Ségolène Royal with who he has four children. Royal was defeated by Sarkozy in the 2007 French presidential election, and within a month of the defeat the couple separated over a relationship between Hollande and a journalist. Dominique Strauss-Kahn until his imprisonment in the US on rape charges alleged by a New York hotel maid, had been the front runner for the Socialist Party nomination.

Dominique Strauss-Kahn, known as DSK, the 62 year old French economist, politician and Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), following his arrest in New York on allegations of sexual assault, has now been indicted by a grand jury to face charges relating to the allegations. Strauss-Kahn was believed to be on the verge of announcing his intention to stand for election to the French Presidency as the Socialist Party candidate, against the incumbent Nicolas Sarkozy.  The majority of French believe the allegations are a smear campaign to stifle his candidacy, however a 32 year old maid at his hotel suite claims Strauss-Kahn emerged naked from the bathroom to chase her about the spacious suite and began sexually assaulting her, including forcing her to perform oral sex.
