You think millions of French working class " deplorables " will
finally support Le Pen just as working class " deplorables " in our Rust
Belt states supported the right wing nationalist Donald Trump ?
Political establishments are in their death agony in capitalist
France just as in capitalist USA. Le Pen is comparable to Trump in being
the ultimate French " nationalist " - and much feared by a nervous
bourgeois Establishment.
The two party system has now imploded in
France. Potential chaos in Europe. The family name Le Pen was linked to
anti-Semitism. But this Marine has moderated this, they say.
None of the mass parties in France -just as in the USA - show any
roots in the French working class. You have to go back to 1968 to see
the truly " class conscious " parties on the Left.
The
French communist writer and philosopher Jean Paul Sartre made cogent
observations back then ( " Talking with Sartre " ). He recognized
the reality-the fighting energy- of " class hatred ". But it should be
channeled into organized political revolution- as peaceful as possible
under ruling class
oppression.
And Sartre's very book title "Nausea " best describes the present world political crisis . Does it not ?
