First of all, I'm French, so the orange agent isn't my president. It's Macron. And as a proper Frenchman, I know what I'm talking about — Macron has always been influenced by big business; he even worked for major corporate leaders and finance.

The only thing that has changed is his increasingly authoritarian, fascist-style communication, with a growing emphasis on the far right. And by the way, he's already fired top officials who contradicted his propaganda — just like Trump.

I would not call macron a fascist. He's a liberal corporatist that without control regulations morphs into fascism. Hrs not there yet. Hrs a lot like Obama.

I don't know about Obama, but from my perspective here in France, it seems to me that he didn't appoint Catholic fundamentalist fascists or people close to neo-Nazi youth movements to high-ranking police positions, spewing streams of racist rhetoric. Macron did.

And I'm not even talking about media control, where Macron makes sure he has the right people in place to blame the poor and immigrants. Oh wait, I guess I just did...

Wow ... No Obama did not do that. I guess when the shite hits the fan, and it will, hopefully the pendulum will swing the other way. Not without strife, sadly.

The truth, as I see it, is that liberals like Macron or Navalny are connected to fascism — because that logic, whether revealed or not, conscious or not, is intrinsically part of their political ideology.

Sorry for the liberals, but it's their complacency, if not outright complicity, that has invariably led the far right to power.

Navalny has some cred in working to try to unveil the corruption. It cost him his life. I appreciate his messaging; I truly despise Putin as much as 45/7. Macron is too much of a hot house politician that is busy placating and pandering to right wing potential constituents. No BALLS.

Regarding Navalny and his fight against corruption, I can understand and accept why you wanted to support him, but I'm not sure he would have acted differently — as you said, that's Russia, and also because of his political background.

Regarding Macron, you're right, he's a coward, but that doesn't explain everything. For example, our healthcare system is in crisis because we lack medical staff.

In one of his recent meetings, Macron said: "The problem with hospitals is that there's too much Mamadou"... Mamadou is an African first name. That's clearly racism.

Yes, in a purely Marxist illustration, Macron clearly shows that he belongs to the ruling class and works for it, with all the class contempt he can express, and through his efforts to dismantle our healthcare and pension systems in order to enrich the super-rich and major corporations.

That is straight out nationalism that the French have always fostered. For me, it's no surprise.

I don't agree. Twenty-three years ago, there were massive protests because the far right made it to the second round of the elections. Eight years ago, people voted for Macron to prevent the far right from coming to power. Things have really gotten worse since Macron.

Even though I’ll grant you that some left-wing parties, like the Communists, did advocate limiting immigration up until the early 1990s, France had, since 1945, reembraced anti-fascism and tolerance—thanks in large part to the efforts of the Communists working alongside De Gaulle.

Our healthcare has suffered due to the aftermath of COVID. It takes time to repair, even in the best of times.
