Europe is getting through a Transition. The ancient structures are trembling as the liberal centrism has been unable to solve ordinary people's problems while leaving the super rich unaccountable. Many flee to far ultra right as a way to reject the status quo. That's why the centrism that upholds the regime won't resolve the root causes of cost of living and anxiety. Transition is needed: to clean energies, to social integration, to human-scale productivity, to a sustainable fair economy, to democratic technologies, to a multipolar world.

What does socialism mean? Noby know really because the Capitalist Imperial powers never allowed it to flourish around the world. They have always found away to disrupt or derail it by making countries who wanted to implement socialist measures chaotic or create regime changes.

@@jackreacher8858 you must be an American, divorce from knowing things 😂, China before Covid was the fastest growing economy. Biggest growth in industry since the Industrial Revolution. China went from rural farming in the 80s to fastest growing manufacturing industry in 30 years.

[@staspastukov5944]

Just for humor. Germany is the EU money supply, and France is the price index. In a political sense, prices have frozen but the money supply is falling and this seems to be called political disinflation. It is necessary to reduce political rates in Germany so that the price index is consolidated, i.e. France.

Melchione divided the left? after he just brought them together for a win? what?

[@nizammazlan8613]

Because lots of people from the left are also genocidal, not just racist. Melchione wanted to recognised Palestine as a state.

[@lokiheimdallsen]

It is more complicated than that, he indeed took part in the effort to unite a left coalition but... He does not tolerate people disagreeing with him inside his own formation, France unbowed, going as far as excluding four proeminent candidates in the middle of the first round and pushing two more toward the exit in between rounds including François Ruffin, the man that launched the NFP movement the evening Macron disolved the parliment. The majority of french voters do not like him and he refused to back down despite his candidacy for prime minister being damaging to the NFP and three out of the four major formations within NFP aswell as some members from his own formation refusing his candidacy, advocating for more consensual candidates. The fear of Melanchon being prime minister damaged the NFP during the first round. Had he stepped down and backed another candidate for prime minister, they might have scored even higher.

France's ethnic Frankish populations barely have children, so it doesn't matter. This land belongs to the Muslim youth, the future of France. But the name of the country might have to change in both the French language and at the UN to reflect that the lands is not the property of one ethnic group.

French Far Right is extremist Far Right. They are are anti Muslim, racist, and anti EU. The real question is why far right wingers don’t like be labeled far right. The label perfectly fits. Is it because far right wing doesn’t like the terms association with schizo political beliefs?

[@robertseaborne5758]

The French electoral system uses the tried and tested divide and conquer strategy to divide and weaken French voters as and when required by it's ruling/ political class designers to retain their power and control. Hopefully the French people eventually achieve the necessary level of cohesion to break free of this contrived ruling/political class entrapment. The same is true (albeit in less complicated forms) In the UK and the U.S.

[@user-zl1vf4me1p]

​@AA-vr8ez that is not the issue, the issue is that the far left calls everything that slightly opposes them far right and fascist, when they are extremist themselves and... ironically fascism started as a leftist party

[@Sacrypheyes]

Actual far left parties in france don't even participate in general elections as they are revolutionary by their ideology. france has at least 2 such parties : NPA (new anticapitalistic party) and LO (worker's struggle).

The RN won the election on the basis of the number of votes which in France is ignored because it’s electoral system is not proportional. The volition of the French voters is therefore violated.

[@Ann-mj4xn]

They wouldn't have won anything in a proportional system, even if they got the most vote with 33%, it means 66% of the country does NOT want them in power and would vote anyone that opposes them

[@elle6327]

In America, unfortunately the electoral college determines the winner. Trump never won the popular vote, but won the election in 2016. Same difference.

[@AA-vr8ez]

False. RN got 37% vote. 63% didn’t vote for them. In most of those races, the RN didn’t win so they got less seats.

[@flawyerlawyertv7454]

It reminds me of the US where Hillary got more votes than Trump, yet the latter was elected and not the former.

[@bernardkerkhof3794]

@@AA-vr8ez RN had 37% of the vote therefore they should have 37% of the seats. Any other outcome is fraud because it ignores the people’s votes.

The key for France to suppress racist party is to develop economics and prosperity. The only way now: 1. Peaceful Europe and working with all countries to have cheap energy and goods. 2. Leave colonialism methods and have equal relationships with Asia Africa that has abundant resources. Immigrants is assets to develop a better networking with all nations and races. Am I right?
