    @Moodys Moody's who has issued this diatribe against government spending on social programs is the same company that sold Triple "A" ratings to the banks and investment houses that were pushing those dogshit mortgage bonds that almost collapsed the western economies in 2008. US Gov't used billions in taxpayer money to bail out the offending banks and investment houses. Yeah, we're gonna take advice from Moody's. #Moodys #FrenchElection #FrenchElections #France #Euronews

  2. For years on this channel, we've been talking about the need for the US left to detach from the Democratic Party and for the existing, mostly quite small left parties to join together in a #LeftCoalition or #LeftCongress to intensify the class struggle and increase workers' economic and political power. This week in France, the Nouveau Front Populaire (NFP) or New Popular Front, which has done just that, took the lead in the national elections and, together with the "center" ("moderate" right) forces behind Macron, pushed the extreme-right Marine Le Pen and her fascist National Rally party into third place at a time when they had been expected to win control of the government.

    The NFP includes parties from the center-left to the far-left such as Jean-Luc Mélenchon's France Unbowed (La France Insoumise or LFI), Mitterand's and Hollande's Socialist Party (PS), the French Green Party (LE-EELV), and the French Communist Party (PCF), among others. While all of these deserve significant criticism and most likely will not be able to guide the French masses out of capitalism in their present form, they are far preferable in the short term to Macron's neoliberal austerity ghouls or the flat-out neo-Nazis of the National Rally. The French masses now must take every opportunity to strengthen the fight for better conditions, increased class consciousness, and an independent, internationalist, revolutionary party of the proletariat as they struggle to build a movement capable of ending capitalism in France.

    From the NFP's website:

    "You asked us; we did it: the new Popular Front was born to govern and change everything.

    "We have united, beyond political parties, around a program of rupture, solid, coherent and fair, quantified by economists and experts:

    "1) To defend purchasing power and wages;

    "2) For public services everywhere, from overseas to the countryside via working-class neighborhoods;

    "3) For all women who demand equality and an end to violence;

    "4) To defend the climate and living things;

    "5) For all those who experience racism, anti-Semitism or Islamophobia;

    "6) To defend the Republic against the far right.

    "We are the camp of social, ecological, popular victories and peace. Progress and bright tomorrows. Our history is great. We must now write the future of our country."

  3. Aw, poor baby. Did Putin's election influence campaign not bear fruit? World's smallest violin and all that.

    Jackass dictators.

  4. The "Republican Front" “worked” in its own terms in France on 7 July. But it has enabled the RN to pose as the only alternative to the whole of "established politics". The RN is willing to wait until the next elections, probably in 2027, to reap the gains workersliberty.org/story/2024-

  5. @AlisonCreekside And this is a bad thing why? It was Conservative economic policies in the UK including Brexit that, to quote John Carney, turned the UK into "Argentina On The Thames." Why this assumption that progressive policies are incompatible with a strong economy? Doesn't research prove the opposite? I think some uninformed biases maybe at play here.#Cdnmedia #Cdnmediafail #Canada #Cdnpoli #FrenchElection #FrenchElections

    Well done France. Common sense prevails! Far right politicians and anyone related to far right organisations are a threat to democracy.
    I hope America takes note. The world doesn’t need President Trump…

    'Only One Path': #NaomiKlein Says #French Must Rally Around Left Coalition to Avert Fascism

    "History tells us that #fascism wins when anti-fascist forces refuse to come together to defeat it, with the center fearing a strong left committed to redistribution more than the cruelties of the extreme right."
