2.2 THE FAILED COUP OF BEASTMAN BOULANGER (1889)
From the beginnings of the Third Republic, in 1871, to 1879, there
were twelve different governments. Governments would rise and fall within
a few months. The most enduring governments lasted three years, at the
most. Thus French governments were not in power long enough to tackle
serious problems, and government officials themselves were only concerned
in doing as little as possible, displease as few people as possible, and stay in
power as long as possible. In one word, the French government system was
deliberately built to be dysfunctional. This is what the creator of the
Synarchy, Saint-Yves d'Alveydre, meant to accomplish when he said that the
key to his system was the separation of {Authority} from {Power}.
In 1876, the very first election after the creation of the Third Republic
had given the victory to a conservative monarchist Senate, and a
overwhelming majority of anti-monarchist Republicans in the Chamber of
Deputies, that is, 363 Republicans against 180 Monarchists, of whom 75
were Bonapartists. This led to what was called the crisis of {May 16}, 1877,
in which the Monarchist Right and the Republican Left could not agree on a
Prime Minister. As a result of power struggles which ended with the
dissolving of the Chamber of Deputies, and calling for new elections, the
leader of the Monarchist faction, arch-conservative President, MacMahon,
representing the royalists, the military and the Catholic Church, was
ultimately forced to resign, and from that moment on, the Monarchists
deliberately abandoned all hopes of ever restoring the monarchy by
parliamentary means. This was a decisive moment for the Synarchists who
were all monarchists, without exception.
A decade later, it was in a similar situation that a flamboyant general
had made his appearance on the political landscape in Paris. General
Georges Boulanger was an early version of the beast-man Laval. His entry
into the government facilitated by Georges Clemenceau, the radical leader of
the Chamber of Deputies, who chose him to become the Minister of War, in
January of 1886, because he appeared to be "the most Republican of the
generals," and he had begun a series of purges of high-ranking military
royalists, whom he had weeded out of the Army, in 1885. The reader should
note the fact that in France, "radical" did not mean "extremist" as it does in
