French Leftists: “Never thought I’d die fighting side-by-side with a liberal.”
French Liberals: “What about side-by-side with an anti-facist?”
French Leftists: “Aye, I could do that.”
Real french would had said oui oui and croissant at least once or twice
@@foxmamer They would have "alors, du coup..." and "et puis basta!" at least 47 times
For Frodo!! (Oh wait, wrong comments section)
Le Marseilles starts playing...
Republican Front = Antifa but it's indisputablly anti-facist. (Not that I'm saying antifa isn't but RF's PR game is way stronger)
Cute, but this isn’t going to go away until the moderate parties muster the courage to address the *cause* of the rise of the radical right.
so islam?
The demographic crisis?
Immigration and disorder?
you don't want them to do that
Dude, it´s fucking France - it´s an old tradition from the 1930´s.
France has a history of both over throwing kings and subjecting people, There are still being cringe in Africa
Seriously every five years it's "fascism is on the march in France" and then everyone strategically votes like they do in every 2nd round
@@cameraman502 France just loves JREG anybody but the Centrists should win
This tradition is way older in France.
Every government need to be leftist.
Fingers crossed really fucking hard, on my way to the poll myself.
Small correction, Macron isn't a centrist, on the American scale maybe, but on the French scale he's firmly right, Neo Liberal, Raeganian, Thatcherist. (Well, specifically, Macronist, but I'm fairly confident you get it.)
Just hope it’s not too late
8:04 what that chatter is referring to is that the results that were revealed at 8pm on election day were not the exact results but rather an estimation based on polls and the registered involvement in the election because ballots hadn't all yet been counted. once they were, the domestic affairs minister's website showed that the results were not 33% for the national rally and 29% for the union of the left but rather 30% for the national rally and 29% for the union of the left.
Also, you have to keep in mind that mainstream french news outlets are owned by a handfull of billionnaires and that they have put some high effort into shitting on the left and being courteous to the far right, so you can see these "fake" results as being another way they found of discreditting the left.
Attal, the french PM has been quite based and straightforward in his support of the Popular Front against National Rally. Maybe because he is gay and feels the urgency on a more personal level.
Macron OTHO has been more than ambiguous and let several of his cronies not step down in their 3 way contest.
Conclusion: centrists suck, unless they're queer.
Yep... we can also talk about Édouard Phillipe and Bruno Le Maire who have called to fight against the RN and LFI...
Those MF are still comparing the incomparable 🙄
@@paulchatel1214 we don't talk about Bruno. We don't even allow ourselves to throw peanuts in his cage anymore.

Do you realize how many LGBTQ there are in the far right in France, in fact it’s the one with the most. He’s trying to save his job that’s all.
Attal also sucks though.
Glad to see the people uniting against the common enemy.
It happens every time the far right looks like it might win in France. There is nothing impossible about it, this is historically consistent.

HAHA a familiar meme format! My normie brain has no choice but to give you a like!
Stop calling everyone that disagrees with you a fascist. Migrants and unchecked immigration is causing massive problems in the EU and progressives refuses to acknowledge it.
Liberals are the only ones consistently standing against fascists. In the meantime, leftists simp for Russia and refuse to vote for Joe Biden.
Not in America, seems like
Fascists start rising
The french: Let me show you humanity's "unite against a common enemy" mode.
@AlexanderSonigo Caliphate ideology is just another form of far-right ideology. Leftist ideology is not "domestic fascism is bad but immigrant fascism is good," whereas right-wing ideology literally is just "domestic fascism good and immigrant fascism useful for scaring people towards domestic fascism."
@AlexanderSonigoweird how muslims in the US and 2nd or 3rd gen British muslims have become liberals politically eh? To use terminology you'll like the fascist adjacency of fundamentalist sects of Islam gets 'bred' out with time and education.
@AlexanderSonigo cope and seethe righty. You lost.
This is the littéral political elite who has been in power for the last 50 years who are uniting together to save their 7k per months salary. The left has betrayed their electorate by supporting candidates they have litteraly labeled facsists, that includes the former president of France who appointed macron as minister of the economy and the former prime minister who passed the pention reform by decree and caused massive protests. How can you support that? This is the nomenklatura and political bourgeoisie binding together to save their grip on the economy and material wealth.
... We aren't united. We keep on stupidly infighting and letting those fascists rise. It's effin depressing that's what it is
This is why we can't treat history as if it is destined to repeat. There is a difference between describing something that happened and treating it like a law of sociology
i meana this is essentially history repeating. Le Pen did well in the first vote of the presidential election a few years ago. until the non-fascists rallied behind macron

@@larryc1616 the word "liberal" means something closer to what americans call "libertarian" essentially everywhere else in the world. political terminology in the US is pretty mixed up since the party switch

Yes.
We need to unite. The division is exactly what the Trumpists want.
Agreed! Voting isn't about who makes you feel good, it's about who is tactically a better choice than the other. Who can you organize under more easily? That's it. Bring a vomit bucket if you must, but vote!
What do you mean "in 2024" bruh its this year a few months away
The difference is that if the far right doesn't get to elect the prime minister, the left and the liberals aren't proposing that an 80-year old man with dementia then become the prime-minister,so nobody is worried about them not winning because of their plan being insane and unpopular.
In Poland, the same thing happened a few years back and last year we fully won both chambers. In the Senate where it's first-past-the-post voting they decided which party has a candidate in which district so that they don't compete against each other.

The thing that has made this possible is France's two-round voting process. In the "normal" single-round voting process Americans and Brits will be familiar with, you only find out how much support each candidate has when the election is done. So in a case like this where you have three parties (or coalitions) of roughly equal popularity, there's no incentive for anyone to drop out because every candidate has a reasonable expectation that they might win in a given seat.
The French system means that after the first round everyone has a much better and more precise measure of which candidates have the most support, and it's not so much of a sacrifice for a candidate to stand down in a constituency where they can see that they are very unlikely to win.
The system is also extremely based because voters can vote for whichever party they genuinely prefer in the first round, without worrying that it will be a wasted vote if that party is unlikely to win.
This would be an incredible positive change to UK politics if it were introduced here, because people could actually vote for candidates who say things they agree with, instead of having to vote for "Red Tory" because at least it's better than "Blue Tory"
Liberal here… yeah duh. I’d rather debate with leftists and fight fascists
Fascists have had a tendency to kill both liberals and conservatives that don't go with what they want. The only conservatives that are fondly remembered against fascists are the ones who actively fought against them. I'm looking at Winston Churchill here.
Thank you liberal!
--leftist
Egalitarians strong together
You are both the same 😅
Don't pretend like that's the default liberal mindset. Liberals here literally start picking up Anti-Migration policies without realizing, that only legitimizes far-right talking points.
Oh my gods, actual hope? Could we get some of that over here on the other side of the pond?
I genuinely cannot stand that conservatives are fully willing to "fall in line" and support the most extreme far-right when they make a coalition, but it basically never happens here on the left. :(
Hope? 😂 You mean the neoliberal establishment that created the mess we're in that gave rise to the far right movements in the first place getting together to defend the status quo? Please don't be that naive
GO GO GO FRANCE!
Such a thing happened in Poland. Few months ago. There is no real far-left party in Poland though.
Yeah Poland in general (from what I as an American understand) pretty conservative. Good to hear y'all did something to stop them.

@@dannynaylor5485 mimimi :'-D
Because Polish people still have a good memory of far-right and far-left unlike anyone in Western Europe or America. As an eastern European, it's so funny to listen Americans talk about bad far-right and good far-left. Trust me, you don't want anything starting with far.

As an anglo Canadian living in Quebec I really appreciate this. We have had reasonable cooperation on left, centre, lib, politics but our conservatives have become corrupted. I hope we can recognize international influence on the far right before we lose our balance.

@AlexanderSonigoShoo, troll. Go away you pest.
I almost don't believe it but this little ray of hope is invaluable.
Honestly it's been vrey hectic here but seeing the left unite so fast is galvanising, there's so many kpop-like fan cams of left wing candidates on twitter, someone even did an elden ring parody with Mélanchon that has been shared by his party. It seems that leftists did everything we could to not fall into doomerism and it's working. Good things can still happen, I can't stress enough how important it is to keep hoping because even if the worst comes to pass we still have our community and will support and protect each other.
And we said from the edge of the void, in one voice: never again.
My “favorite” part of the Jordan Bardella, who presents himself as a populist for the little guy, is that he has never held a job. Not for a single day in his life has he worked a job. He’s just some rich kid from a rich family propped up by racists, and for some reason he’s managed to convince 35% of my countrymen that he’s the guy to help the little guys in France.
11:50 - I like to imagine the translator in this section with the comically French English accent is actually just a regular bloke from London like the others speaking, but is just speaking in an accent here in an effort to make fun of Bardella.
It's more like them doing the bare-minimum. Their main target was La France Insoumise, the largest left-wing party in France, up until the results from the first turn last Sunday. Their entire strategy was to try to divide it from the others left-wing parties. They won't have enough seats to form a government on their own, so they wanted a scenario where the left doesn't either, to force an alliance with moderates. However it's unclear right now if it will be possible for them to achieve this, even if the party heads were to agree. We were already leading towards an institutional crisis, where basic bills like the government yearly budget would not be able to get passed because there would be no majority that could reach an agreement. This was the reason for the dissolution, which is why it was widely seen as a terrible move as everyone expected Macronists and their allies to lose seats to the far-right, making the crisis worse. The expectation is we're going to see emerging a technical government which won't be able to pass any major reform.

Thank you... I needed some good news for once
Right, for those who wants a better understanding of the situation here we go. The left front is composed of 3 soc-dem parties, the socialist party (akin to the Democrat or l our party in UK) the écologist party, and the communist party (yes this party is actually soft left, believe me) and one proper socialist party, la France insoumise. La France insoumise is the most influential party in the left front, but because they are pretty left, a coalition is now forming to destroy the left front, betray la France insoumise, and create a national United government going from the communist party to the Republican Party. In the end the bloody liberals right and left want to unite to do the classic politics we ve seen the last 50 years and only la France insoumise on the left and the fascists are left as opposition.. This is not a good situation at all. The left front had a chance but again the soft left liberals betray for their comfortable seats.

Macron calling the snap election is not a political miscalculation, it’s accepting the consequences of your actions. When the entire country tells you “we don’t like what you’re doing” it is the RIGHT thing to do to call an election to give them a chance to reform the government and parliament to properly represent what they actually want, wether or not that is politically advantageous for your party.
They say “political miscalculation” I say “democracy in action.”
And I’m glad to see the left and center team up to push back the fascists.

Yeah, it's mixed. It was a loss for his party, but a win in countering Le Pen
Probably the right move in the long run, but definitely not the clear win he was hoping for
Nice to see leftists show discipline
To be fair, liberals’ biggest issue is being generally overly-optimistic and thinking ”it will not actually go to shit” and therefor not worrying (e.g. Trump 2016). Maybe having a two round election system allows liberals to be able to see the reality during the election and adjust, rather than going ”who could’ve ever seen this coming???” after the election is already over
Very rarely will liberals actually get back down to reality & see the shit they're in, I really doubt that this is gonna be a wake up call for them... they can't recognize actual fascists, or even if they do, they almost always downplay the threat they pose, cuz "it can't happen here" I guess... at least I'm glad that the french left understands how much of a threat the fascists actually are...
Same in the Brexit referendum their stupid analysts had made pols in their own ecochambers. Getting the answers they needed.
And forgot that online the algorithm only let them see what they want to see.
I work with sales/marketing and i’m also a investor. I see this type of wishfull thinking all the time.
The avarage liberal is also for the mest part well payd, have their own apartment or house, saveings. That is liveing the what used to be « normal middle class lifestyle». They often simply lack the information on how the world is for the more insecure parts of the lower middle classes and working class. Who has been harder hit by globalisation, automation, inflation.
The also underestimate the extreme right ( and lefts), abillity to use social media to reach new targets with their conspiracy theorys and propaganda.
They often are ignorant that the poor, working classes, lower middle class often don’t read newspapers/books or see old style tv anymore
This always happens. In France, who dislikes you is as important as who likes you.
And a lot of people despise Le Pen, even if a lot of people like her.
Last time, leftists voted for the liberal, so it is only logical that if the leftist candidate is the one left, liberals would do the same, because they hate Le Pen more.
This is the beauty of priority voting, even if it is in a limited fashion.
You might need to define 'leftist' and 'liberal' as they apply in this case.
Leftist means left on social and economic issues. Liberals are right on economic issues (=capitalists) and left on social issues, but never as left as true leftists because their capitalist agendas get in the way of implementing true left wing social policies.
The left actually won in france O=
The French people got a taste of what is to come when dealing with Fascists is like first hand. Like hell they want to have any ruling their home again.
You underestimate the media! The French media has become far right from all of the privatizations. RN candidates get twice or thrice the screen time over other parties. This is how Orban got elected in Hungary. Control the media = control the people.
The thumbnails of late are all very much of a style, aren't they?
Europe is so weird, you can have a field correspondent in Paris for a report and have him back later that day. That's wild
First, I wouldn't be too sure how united they'll be before we see the resuylt of the elections. Let's not forget the French left was talking about having united lists for the european elections and uh... yeah, we've seen how that worked.
Two, last I checked when I got a pamphlet fopr the Renaissance (liberal so called centrist (with serious right leaning when it come to economic policies) majority party) for the first turn it was hapilly lampooning the LFI deputy in place explaining on he was going to be a barrier to *both* extrmes, no distinction made there.
Three after they've spent the last seven years demonizing the left, lefgitimizing the far right, instituting strong right leaning economic policies and barely a few weak left leaning social ones and genraly creating a golden highway for the National gathering to power, you'll excuse me if my faith in liberal centrist party is low.
EDIT: I stand corrected, what d'you know, it worked. Hurray
You where a little wrong on this, the problem is the French ‘leftists’ are split between LFI ( leftist) and the socialist party, greens and communist party (social liberals, yes it might sounds crazy to you guys but the communist party in France stopped being leftist in the 2000s and become a very moderate slightly to the left of the socialist party) so what you where wrong about is that candidates dropped out somewhat to the benefit of the liberal moderates, meaning that macrons party somewhat ambiguously said that their voters should vote for ‘republican parties’ while having for months repeated that the leftist party (LFI) was no longer a Republican Party so in the event that LFI was second behind le pen in a district, they did not drop out but they did do this for the greens, socialist, and communists. On the Other hand LFI did drop out of races where they where third behind macron and le pen. So all in all this overwhelmingly favored the moderates, the leftist party lost its hegemony over the left and moderate come out of this reinforced.
As far as I understand French politics, making such alliances to oust far-right parties (and before that, communists) is something pretty normal there.
I think a lot of the macron's candidates dropping out in favor of the left coalition here had to do with the fact that his entire side was always made of a coalition of people of slightly different backgrounds and tendencies (and also that's not really the left as a whole that's demonized by the center and center-left, when he first arised to power he basically tore apart the socialist party on one side and the historical center-right party on the other, and on both sides most of the politicians became favorable to him and margins didn't).
Now Macron is more and more isolated, he always governed in a very insular and relatively unpredictable way. He is increasingly mistrust by parts of his own camp partly because he's autocratic and silly and partly because of his right and far-right tendencies that became more and more obvious over time. The big risk now imo is that as his center-center-right coalition is more and more crippled the business and media circles start backing lepen more and more instead of him.
The random distractions about suits that vaush pauses for in the middle of the sentences of someone talking about rlly important stuff are really bothersome
It's easy to foster hatred toward liberals online but always remember that for all their shortcomings, they still value the most important things, such as personal freedom and human rights. How we get there is a matter of debate; with fascists, it is a matter of war.
...I don't agree with this. Liberals are right wing on economic issues, which is in direct opposition to personal freedom and human rights. They are socially liberal too, yes, but only as far as the interests of capital allows it.
They do tend to clear the very low bar of being anti-slavery, but... Low, low bar.

@@thomaswikstrand8397 If you just talk to a liberal, they will at the very least be honest about their beliefs. Misinformed or not, they usually want what they want because they think it's good for people. Fascists on the other hand cannot help but lie and obfuscate constantly, because their beliefs include the explicit and purposeful mistreatment of others.
I'm not saying we're meant to hold hands with liberals and do a happy dance forever. I'm just weighing them against the rest of the right wing.
Dude, liberals supported turning Libya, the former most developed nation in africa, into a failed state with open slave markets.
They only believe in wealth and their own comfort.
This is cool to witness 😎
Not to kill Vaush's optimism but it's actually a really bad situation here in France.
The new head of the far right party, Jordan Bardella, is the new fresh coat of paint on the party, he is young, use Tik Tok aggressively and is mostly squeaky clean compared to the LePen family AND reaaaally well media trained.
A bunch of our media are now owned by mostly one or two billionaires, hammering down a lot of the far right talking points, most media refuse to call this party "far right" but call the leftist alliance "far left extremists".
There was and still is a lot of infighting amongst the Republicans but a lot of them rallied behind the far right, and the yet undecided will most likely vote for the far right, at least there is a higher chance for them to vote far right than for any leftwing party.
Usually there is a call to vote against the far right no matter what or who from most parties, that's pretty much how the second round in most elections during these last few decades ended up.
For this election, the left wing coalition made this call, retiring a lot of candidates in favor of the candidate most likely to win against the far right, the center, right wing and presidential parties didn't make such call.
Some, clearly in a loosing position refusing to drop out will cause the far right to gain more seats.
What is clear is that the far right is going from 80 seats out of 577 in the assembly to a potential absolute majority.
Sure, we are trying to block the far right, but that's french tradition at this point, and in any cases, it's a BIG victory for the far right, it's a media and image victory, and it's a victory in gaining even more seats and so more control in the assembly.
The left wing coalition barely manage to get to a same number of votes as a single far right party, this is bad, REALLY BAD.
Once again we are left playing beavers and building barrages wherever we can.

republican front in the the french context is simply the tradition of the anti-monarchists. the french republicans invented thr human rights and a whole bunch of other things.
the american bill of rights followed within a few months after the french republicans declared citizens rights.
French republicans did not invent human rights. The Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen and the US Bill of Rights were both heavily inspired and their principles drawn from the English Bill of Rights of 1689
@@LordDim1 literally not true. the english bill of roghts of 1689 was about the rights of the parliament towards the king. it had very little in terms of citizens rights in it. in fact only 2: right to petition and right to own weapons.
only the second amendement is in any way based on the english bill of rights. and nothing about the declaration of humans rights is.
the name just sounds similar
Generic comment for the algo
I'll believe it when it has happened
Elections dont mean anything. You can learn alot from the Bolivians in stopping fascists.
Are you talking of recent events? That is hardly something to learn from. A general was fired, tried to build the hastiest and most incompetent coup ever and ofcourse failed. There was no planing or real threat behind that.
The French Left are pretty good
This election has caused my wife to become very worried they will deport me with all the others like she not even sleeping well. I try to crack a few jokes but that doesn’t seem to help much.
@AlexanderSonigo we already lived in Canada together it was far to cold for her and she struggled to find work in her Field
Video title: IMPOSSIBLE: Leftists & Liberals UNITE Against The Far-Right In France
What I learned from the video content: You shouldn't ever steam your suits that will separate the lining
" you are not allowed to restrict people's movements around the world" Is China, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Mexico, Yemen, ect allowed to restrict movements at their borders?
"Impossible is not french",
Napoleon probably
What needs to happen in the US RFK needs to drop out every other presidential candidate needs to drop out so we can get Biden across the finish line so Trump doesn’t completely destroy the world
"Neoliberal austerity" in France? Vaush, please tap into the topic before commenting
UK and France both give me hope that it isn't over for us here
It's so good watching this video knowing that it WORKED.
The same kinda happened in Brazil to prevent Bolsonaro's reelection. Lula (althoug he is more of a center-left he is considered as a left candidate) and his vice president are from RIVAL parties. It was the way (probably the only way) to prevent Bolsonaro's victory.
Indeed it was a really close one.
Let's never forget that the far right party here in France, the Front National, has among its founding members a former waffen SS. Decades later, Marine le Pen decided to change its name to get some ''respectability'' and erase those very connoted notions. But she chose Rassemblement National, which was the name of a French political party foinded in 1942, the Rassemblement National Populaire. Its goal was to collaborate with the fascists z'd create a united nazi Europe. Another founding member of the original Front National was a member of that party. This is not a coincidence. These are this party's true colors.
It's actually pretty common today in Europe for liberals in such situations to ally with the left against the far right. The same stuff happened in Poland few months ago. It seems Vaush lives still in 1930s or at least in the Cold War period.
Guess Sargon gunna have to rebrand himself if the Liberals aren't fascist
just so yall know, the french far right is liberal. There is a republican party, but they hardly get any votes
I can confirm that this was very much a grassroots effort. Macron was on the fence about cooperating with NFP. It was the ordinary people and individual candidates that organised this - including one of Macron's candidates who _actively rebelled_ and stood down against Macron's orders
The French people are smarter than the French establishment 🙂
Please do the same in the US. There is nothing more importantvthan keeping trump out of office.
