excuse me, elections are not all democracy is! democracy is when US businesses have unrestricted access to capital, and elections without that are actually dictatorship.
its democratic, they don't have power of 50+ percent
angle of attack "its the norms" is only good for radicalization, just as leaving macron to work with rn will crush rn, as that will make them establishment (unless they decide to show some largess to become hitlers, but rn is just as much of neoliberal piggies as macron)
Do you think 4chan gets jealous that the left, one half of all political thought that has been dead and irrelevant for decades is still more feared by the establishment than fascism? Hell, porky is hiding behind 4chan's legs like a scared little kid.
Do you live in the imperial core? Have you been made to believe that left political thought has been dead and irrelevant for decades? Are you a victim of the Great Firewall protecting fragile westerner opinions from the conflicting views of a billion Chinese netizens?
I'd compare leftism in the west to more like a dormant virus that occasionally shows symptoms, but is quickly and ruthlessly addressed because the host is a hypochondriac. And there's no vaccine or treatment of the underlying cause, because capitalism is the cause. I'm a very firm believer that leftist movements spring up then spread very rapidly, like a pathogen or something. The masses can "activate" within weeks sometimes. Movements that begin as maybe 100 people can suddenly explode into hundreds of thousands in just a year, or less. At one point the communist party of China had dwindled down to what, 20 people? And then around 15 years later they had seized the whole country.
I think Porky knows this, that the really scary stuff is uncontrolled widespread spontaneous discontent that coalesces into something more concentrated. That's why they're less afraid of fascists, because fascists will gladly play by the liberal rules.
It wasn’t even supposed to be a good thing. All polling showed the far right winning in a landslide. Macron never wanted or anticipated a serious challenge from the left
The left wing coalition won the last parliamtary elections. They should get one of their own as PM. Macron has buckled every historical precedent and selected a guy from his own coalition.
