    I was happy about this, then I saw that they want to keep sending weapons to Ukraine and back a two-state solution in Palestine. Still better than the demokkkrats but that’s a low bar. The French left still hasn’t learned how they lost everything after 1945 because of their appalling foreign policy, especially with regard to Algeria and Vietnam.

          I wouldn’t call Mélenchon and LFI socdem, but let’s see how much his party is included in the government.

            We’ll see I suppose, historically in Europe demsoc parties were only distinguishable from succdem parties by a bit harsher rhetoric, anywhere they’ve tasted power they haven’t really gone beyond moderate socdem reforms as far as I know.

      The NPF isn’t so much “the french left” as it is the french left (pc and lfi) with eurocuck greens and center left neoliberals (second largest member), it doesn’t shock me that stuff like nato and ukraine aren’t even on the table as discussable topics
