  • Yep, in a lot of countries. In France, the fascists has been stopped by the union of left parties, and the union of trades unions, and lead to the most social progress we still rely on (the first paid holidays for example). If we shall not thing that history repeat itself, this period have a big particularity that is not enough told : those social progress where not planned by the political parties, and the reunification of trades unions (like CGT and CGT-U) where not at the initiative of their leaders. Workers took the street and very offensive strike forced them off. Their sure is a lack of initiative of the workers, I think that’s why we fail during the retirement movement; and If trade Unions sure have a place, I’m not sure that it’s next to political parties in these “Nouvel Union Populaire”.

    If there were 49% of “to radical leftist” in France, we sure do not need election to proclaim socialism. Most of us are not enough politicized to criticized them as a political line. Still we couldn’t convince people by ignoring their feeling when their are legit, even if those feelings may leads to actions that seems against our common interests.

    If we claim equality, we shall listen before speaking.


  • The most “anti-fascist” parliament group (LFI) is the same that vote “yes” for spying instant messenger. I did vote; but I couldn’t blame people for feeling betrayed by parties. We are, and shall not expect otherwise unless we threat those the same people we send too parliament by direct actions. Organizing on our needs make people vote, but voting do not lead to class based organization



  • Macron has been elected has an opposition to the far right. After increase exiled deportation and people killed by the police, he decide to dissolute the assembly and literally build a straight way to the first far right french government since WWII

    So no, ballot boy is the smallest kind of power. It’s still is, but the was never a concrete left government without insurrection strike (popular front 1936) or armed unioniste (1946).
