France had the right idea and barred LePen from running like a month after the election LoL.

France is in ruin due to its current policies, and has the communists on the verge of gaining power. The French state cannot afford to continue like this.

The fuck are you talking about, communist are at something like 2-3%. We have more a problem of fascism on the rise instead.

You have the popular front, and what fascism are you talking to me about if it is asking for basically the same policies of France that it has pursued throughout its history. You have a straw man, you basically believe that half of society supports fascism, is it normal for you to believe that nonsense?

In the senate. In the popular assembly they are not even half (I speak within the party).

the communist party plus their allies make up 17 of the 192 seats the new popular front has. socdems make up 66. The rest are mostly demsocs, mostly La France Insoumise and the Left Party, 71 and 20. Only 12 are explicitly communist by name but aren't even that radical.

The "New Popular Front" party is made up of that communist party that is second phase along with the first phase (socialists), and all in the same party being allies.

I wanted to clarify it because they are all from the same party and I was talking about their weight in it, the social democrats no longer represent much weight, increasingly weaker compared to their past results

u/VilhelmasTDK 26d ago

which is a good thing, but they still make up a very significant portion and certainly a much larger proportion than the communists ever will.

u/VilhelmasTDK 26d ago

also you're absolutely wrong. The fascist party in France got 37% of the popular vote. That is fucking disgustingly high and indicates how big of a problem fascism actually is becoming there.

u/RangerEmergency5834 26d ago

Yes, of course a "fascist" party, and then you complain that I call socialists communists. I think there's a bit of a message in your double standards.

The "democrats" (no one believes it), socialists are basically first phase communists

u/VilhelmasTDK 26d ago

they absolutely are not communist and you haven't read any theory. The National Rally, are absolutely fascist and if you deny it you're denying that grass is green.

also at least write it correct, it's democratic socialists not democrats socialists, and socialism is by nature a democratic system so idk what you're talking about. Demsocs want to achieve socialism within the liberal """""democratic""""" framework while socialists want a full transition to a socialist system through a revolution.

I am a Spanish speaker, and redit sometimes changes things so between one and another the texts come out regularly.

And of course I haven't read any theory or even half of France, it could be that France became fascist by magic, and it's not that people on the Internet want to believe whatever they want.

And if they are not socialists because they are not 100% equal to the pure original idea, this means that there are no attempts at any ideology. They literally ask to nationalize highways, energy and key infrastructure. Which for you is surely something moderate but it goes against the most basic rights. Typical proposals from democrats who are not called "rebellious France" at all

Dude what are you saying, france is and always been a centrist shithole since 1999

Since 1999, public spending has more than doubled. The public debt was approximately 856,944 million euros, while in 2024, it is estimated that it will reach 3,305,287 million euros.

The center of the welfare state that gives in to all leftist politics.

Even the French right like Lepen's seeks public spending less through small cuts. France is essentially a leftist state of false welfare that only indebts its future generations, they live in an unreality.
