  • The twists and turns of France's recent election have ended with a surprise majority for the New Popular Front, a hastily cobbled together left coalition running the gamut from the Communists to the Greens. The NFP's unexpected triumph turned the early success of the far-right National Rally in the first round of the election on its head. But the right in France is far from defeated, and whether the NFP can hold its ground, or expand its influence from here, remains to be seen. Axel Persson, general secretary of the CGT Railway Workers Union in Trappes, joins The Marc Steiner Show for a postmortem of the election, the challenges that remain ahead for the French left, and what lessons can be learned by observers from around the world.

      Elections must utterly terrify the right wing capitalists who have power. Democracy would take away their government and hand it to the communities.

      So you don't want fascism to end? The population is probably going to lose to NATO. So you probably have nothing to fear.

      Everyone understands that Thatcherism and macronism are going to bring massive failures for society.

    ❤would the American system of economics composed by Alexander Hamilton in 1780, work for we, the working class people of France? Xi uses this system in China where millions have been lifted out of poverty! When it has been used in USA the economy has been stable and steadily improving. Where US has used a central banking system only boom and bust cycles result.

      The boom and bust creates the underclass of workers who power endless war and ecocide. Americans broadly support capitalism against life, against humanity.
