As usual, harcore leftists (LFI) and the far-right (RN)

    The most powerful woman at LFI is Sophia Chikirou.

    She paid tribute to the leader of Hamas :

    She also said : “I honestly don’t believe China is a dictatorship”

    https://www.mediapart.fr/journal/politique/040925/l-insoumission-s-arrete-aux-frontieres-de-la-chine

    That’s pretty much the far-left dude.

    Actual far left parties are NPA or LO in France.

    Several LFI MPs come directly from the New Anticapitalist Party (NPA)…

    In fact, the leader of the NPA said : “We will likely run no candidates in the next elections. We will just endorse LFI”

    It if looks like a duck, if it walks like a duck, if it quacks like a duck, then what is it? A duck.

      I am not sure you understand how ridiculous you sound.

      You think someone is on the left because (checks notes…) says something about Hamas and/or China?

      Are you ok?

      Have people really completely lost their minds?

      It’s like listening to those idiotic Americans calling everything “extreme left” while not having enough grey matter to at least lookup what extreme left used to do. Not that long ago.

      Apparently asking not to be killed these days is extreme left.

      Humans are so fucking stupid, it is incredible.

        The traditional left doesn’t praise the leader of Hamas, China, or Venezuela

        These are tankies

          It seems the disagreement boils down to what position is far-left and what is moderate. It’s worth remembering that there was far-left opposition (against Russian nationalism in particular) to Bolsheviks inside the party, whom they purged in early years, labeling them bourgeois, and tried hard to suppress them from reappearing. The Bolsheviks also got popular by paying lip service to a much different agenda than they implemented, becoming in practice extremely conservative and repressing worker self-government attempts. So I wouldn’t call them far-left, a term that I’d reserve for anarchists and council communists.

          Last I checked, MLs aren’t leftists. Favoring state capitalism and totalitarianism comes closer to fascism than to anything left.

      These are bootlicker positions, not leftist positions. I understand that there’s a lot of overlap, though.

          Oui, toute personne qui a le malheur de ne pas être en accord avec toi est un bot.

            Comment ça, n’es pas d’accord avec moi ? Le LFI n’est objectivement pas un parti d’extrême gauche, une erreur que seul un bot ou quelqu’un de vraiment stupide pourrait commettre. J’ai choisi l’interprétation la plus bienveillante.

      China is right wing. I’m sick of everyone pretending the fake socialist Red Fascists are left wing, they never were, they just do their best to infiltrate left wing spaces such as when tbey plotted to replace MLK Jr with their own chosen figureheads in the civil rights movement.

      Russia, Iran, China, Hamas: basically just MAGA in different flavors.
