  • Support for neoliberalism

    Ideologically, La France Insoumise is variously described as holding democratic socialist,[27][28] anti-neoliberal,[29]

    Ignore this bit if you’re anti-ai:

    LFI strongly opposes the economic policies associated with neoliberalism, such as deregulation, privatisation, and austerity, and advocates for policies like the renationalization of public services, increased social welfare, and economic planning to reduce inequality and prioritise ecological and social justice. Their program and public statements consistently critique neoliberalism as a system that exacerbates inequality and excludes the majority of the population from economic and political power

    It says the source is https://linsoumission.fr/2026/01/22/communes-insoumis-rev-citoyenne/ and wikipedia which says:

    Ideologically, La France Insoumise is variously described as holding democratic socialist,[27][28] anti-neoliberal,[29] eco-socialist,[28] souverainist,[30] left-wing populist,[31][32] and soft Eurosceptic positions.[33] On the political spectrum, the party is described as left-wing,[34] as well as far-left.[35][a] Far-left is also a label often used by its critics, including the incumbent centrist French president Emmanuel Macron and former socialist French President François Hollande.[39][40]

    they clearly are capitalists supporters

    So by your definition to be far left they have to be communist supporters?



  • Piquemal is characteristic of the new generation of radical left activists in France. He’s just as comfortable discussing toxic masculinity and making videos on TikTok as he is campaigning for rent controls or against Israel’s war in Gaza. He was aboard the so-called Freedom Flotilla with Greta Thunberg and MEP Rima Hassan, carrying aid to Gaza before they were all arrested by Israeli forces.

    sounds pretty far left to me

    economically terrible policies (rent controls), appeals to social justice warrior (toxic masculinity, israel/gaza, gretel thumberg freedom flotila lol), posts on tiktok, wants to stop high speed rail because it might knock down a few trees (ignore all the co2 it will save getting people out of cars, climate change is last years left wing progressive trend)

    what is far left to you? stalin?


  • 😂

    Trump won 77,284,118 votes, or 49.8 percent of the votes cast for president. That is the second highest vote total in U.S. history, trailing only the 81,284,666 votes that Joe Biden won in 2020. Trump won 3,059,799 more popular votes in 2024 than he won in 2020 and 14,299,293 more than he won in 2016.

    Also Americans: It was rigged! It was rigged!

    It’s quite clear the imagination of people on the left is strong enough to imagine a right wing style elite lizard people are controlling the world narrative than accept that more people liked Trump than Kamala

    You don’t have universal healthcare because your population keeps voting against it, you have so much money going to your military and keep having wars because you keep voting for it (or not showing up to vote)










  • Under a purely capitalist system, those things would be privatized and commodified like they are in the US. You know, that renowned american healthcare and education…

    Yes I’m very well aware of the problems of America, you guys literally won’t shut the fuck up about them 😩

    I’d argue it represents a bigger problem with democracy than capitalism though, the only reason you don’t have universal healthcare and education is because your countries voters don’t want it

    If they did they would have elected representatives who do and implemented it

    Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.






  • i don’t understand how you went from understanding “you” to mean america and now you’re typing “you” as in you personally ?

    obviously you are not the sole reason trump is elected

    it is your country that decided that collectively

    To me infantising them as if they accidentally fell for republican garbage like they would totally have voted for kamala if not for some reason is just excuses

    most countries have right wing groups, we have skynews here in Australia as a right wing propaganda outlet, and plenty of shadow organisations like advance

    we also have a bat shit lady pauline hanson running her party to lead australia

    just if she gets in don’t expect me to complain about fox news, the internet, capitalism, oligarchs or something

    it would simply be what the people of australia wanted
