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.

The US had a campaign to educate Americans about fascism. Citizen's United is a major problem here. It has hardened corporatization by consolidating corporations and the billionaire class. Add religion -- what a horrific cocktail. Democracy doesn't have a chance.

I agree... And that's my disappointment with France during the last 20 years (Sarkozy the first piece of shit), because a large part of our 'elite' pushes to follow that American model...

That's why we tried to keep religion at a personal level (and thus avoid the public sphere) with the law on secularism, and why we separated church and state much earlier.

We're not even a true democracy. The Southern gents, who lived off the work of slaves, forced the 3/5ths compromise. Horrible. And, I was enlightened about this... Take a read. I won't spoil it. 'The Greatest Heist In History' share.google/2JPvCt2YUqVI...

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

We are in uncharted territory in the world with globalization and wealth consolidation. Media complicit disinformation is poisonous for democracy.
