"The Whole Country of France Has Won": Far Right Blocked from Power as Left Surges 

So are people in the Gulag industry. They have a lot of work coming up.

You really think France will turn Communist or something? LMAO

Not smiling, rolling of laughter

@@soundscape26 Im coming from a country which was communist before, occupied from the Soviet Union. So we learned a lot about it in the school cause it was our history. France is on the way to become communist. Thats not even a question... they already practicing marxist idealogys and it will be worse because its a slippery slope to become dictatoric. This ideology will consume the country, its just a matter of time. In my country it took 40 years to get rid of it. I wish luck for the french

welcome to the American Democratic Party. Cant meet up with the Communists here. Too obvious .

I mean, this IS “Democracy Now” after all. It’s about as leftist of a source as you can get. It’s a good place to hear the far left perspective though.

No the word "Far" only applies to anything that even looks right.

@@NTATchannelNickTaylor Well, yeah, I get the point. I was just saying that expecting language like that from “Democracy Now” isn’t very realistic. A person shouldn’t watch this channel to get fair and balanced news, they should watch it to get the perspective of the far left. Occasionally they’ll have a guest on that I agree with since I’m basically libertarian leaning, but mostly I watch it to hear a perspective I will disagree with. Amy Goodman will NEVER give a fair treatment to anyone in any sort of right leaning movement.

They simply want to control the narrative, and lying gets them there

It's all part & parcel of the Israeli disinformation campaign -- criticize Israel, get automatically branded as an antisemite.

Yes he is lmaoo

To me Melenchon is an opportunist who is in it for himself. I just cannot see him as a man of the people.

They will be the most likely to have a revolution besides the US

Genesis 10: "Ashkenaz, sonof Gomer, son of Japheth" Turns out that Zionism is anti-Semetic, eh?

The Palestinians back Hamas....they are anti semites through and through...to denty this is uneducated ill informed and foolish.

Yes it is.

Yes it is. They can give them Palestinian' Arab state in Europe. France is an Arab colony 😢 unfortunately

​It's anti Zionist colonizers not the same. Palestinians are semites they aren't against their own freedom.

Have you guys ever, like once in your life, heard of the "Old Testament"? Where the Jews were dwelling in that land before "Palestine" was a word? There are artefacts that prove the Jews were actually there at the said time. So which land occupied man? Canaan? Palestinians are the Canaanites?

Communists always do that, that’s how Lenin seized the Russian revolution. This is interesting to me as a Romanian born and raised since the Romanians have always been discriminated and bullied by the French being called ethnic slurs ‘Gitanes’ and the only crime we committed was being sold to the communist USSR by the west after the WW2. I can’t wait for the French people to ask for political asylum in Romania. Interesting how nobody migrates to communist countries but the communists always try to escape communism to more moderate or right wing countries. And people don’t ask themselves why, I thought the French people were smarter, obviously I was wrong.

Absolutely.

Yes, that thought popped into my head as well. It's very strange.

France has a massive public sector who vote leftist to keep themselves in jobs. France also has many folks on social welfare programs. The scales tip in the leftists balance until the money runs out.

Of course it was rigged the question is what are the true people going to do about it.

She is an apologist for Israel. Many Iranian exiles are.

​@@h.b.7104That's usually how they got exiled to begin with... that or they were Shah-ists.

She is toxic

she sounds like a right-wing liberal

Marjane Satrapi lives on drugs. she accuse Melenchon to simpatize H-ama-s and being AntiSemite. But She is the AntiSemite, because real Antisemites like Her, use the Lies to go over the people Who Support palestinians. This Woman Marjane Satrapi Talks Trash. perhaps she is Zionist.

AND now reading some of the other comments I see I am EXTRA correct. ALSO, I watched the other clip re Iranian elections and her comments. I have never gone to that country, but she so sounds like people who leave their country for the west and think they have all the knowledge about where they came from. I hear it all the time. In reality, people like her, like that, hate their origins, feel superior, and actually would serve the world if they did some deep personal work to correct that. Stop talking in public as an "expert," and adding to the mess of confusing the world.

She sounds like a complete dullard

Where do you think she's wrong here ? Genuinely asking. Im not a fan of Marjane whatsoever.

No moderate. The far left does, however.

Leftists do that.

She is correct, you are the one not knowing what you are talking about. Here is the story (short version): when the Soviet Union collapsed in 1992 the lies of the Left were exposed to the world, the workers NEVER wanted to be suppressed by the totalitarian dictatorship (I live here, I know). For a year or so the Left was silent. Then it invented the Palestinians as a new group of "suppressed people" and "a suppressed people is always right" (remember that phrase?). From there it expanded: not only were Palestinians correct, the Left now supports migration of islam supporters, sharia law, suppression of women, marrying of 11 year old girls to middle age men and Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthi terrorism (including terror by the Rohingyas, remember?). The Left loves totalitarian states, be it a military Socialist dictatorship like Burma, ISIS, Boku Haram, Taliban in Afghanistan. And Mélenchon is no different. He would love to destroy French society and culture, he wants to be the new Hitler (he was also a Socialist), Stalin, Pol Pot or Ho Chi Minh. He already demanded to be appointed the new "Führer" of France. This is what Socialists always have stood for, and NOTHING is different in 2024.

Absolutely

Satrapi is an apologist of israel, accusing the people who support palestinians like Melenchon to be a H-ama-s Simpatizer, there is no one single piece of evidence of that. because if there was any. it has been show in the Campaign. Marjane Satrapi is full of -💩

Why? Republicans in the U.S. never do. In fact they almost never win by popular vote. It’s that same frustration that leads them to try a fascist takeover instead. They aren’t even a political party anymore. They are simply an organized power grab now.

In the US you can elect presidents who lost the popular vote.

Only when it suits them.

It's FPTP system... The popular vote only counts in presidential elections which the French right wingers will lose again.

@@despooked That’s fine and all, but a new station called “democracy now” is openly being anti democracy.

Still Lillian, you have to admit that it was an error to have Adrien Quatennens on the ballot after being accused by his wife of abuse. Mme Diallo referred to this situation in contrast to the false accusations of anti-semitism by saying that the nomination of Quatennens was more serious than the false charges of anti-semitism. And I agree with her.

Exactly, and all arab countries. It's just sad that western people give away their countries on purpose to complete strangers. This is why they fought for generations ? I'm sure their grandparents would choose not to birth them if they would knew this is coming.

Pretty much :D Seriously though, the French constitution wasn't designed to withstand the far right being in power, we really dodged a bullet. You guys might have more chances of beating the far right than we would have had. Now I HOPE the left and the right get to work fixing our democratic system as quickly as possible. Sooner or later, the far right might get in power anyway. The question is: will they ever give it back, or will we continue to pave the way for a dictatorship?

@@lextacy2008 good point

Same thing happened in England, too. Nobody wants to end up like us.

Marxists. Thats what the Democratic Party called the LEFT going back to President Truman. Be damned if the Americans give up our Culture to Woke Communists.

It worries me that we'll be the only ones to succumb.

I do know a lot about French politics, and yes, he is being demonized about the issue of anti-Semitism. But he does have some problems about being too authoritarian in his party's leadership and some members of his party in rebellion- even at the time of their victory yesterday. A very complex situation...

Jean-Luc Mélenchon has been demonized by his opponents and by the entire media, including left-wing media by the way, for years now. It only got worse after October 7, now we've clearly entered defamation territory. To be sure, he's not exactly a cuddly bear. I wish he were a grumpy but lovely Grandpa like Bernie Sanders but he just isn't. He can be quite agressive and even dismissive in the way he expresses himself and that rubs a LOT of people the wrong way. But it also pleases a lot of people who are happy to see someone stand up and defend them. And yes, his political movement is not democratic, and many people on the left take grave offense to that, and automatically assume he's a dictator wannabe. I wish his party was democratic, but I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. It's not easy to build a cohesive left wing movement when the entire economic system, political system and media environment is against what the left stands for. The Greens have been trying to do that with a flawlessly democratic party and I'm sad to report that they've been utterly failing. Mélenchon has been pretty strategic so far, his vision has been on point, and he's allowed the next generation of leftists to blossom. We owe him a great debt. If he's ever proven to be actually antisemitic or if his party still isn't democratic after they've actually succeeded, you'll see me criticize him, but not until then. Don't buy the media propaganda, they don't have our best interest at heart.

No, the reality is far worse.

You should watch the coverage on Tousi TV.

In the present circumstances, the French people should be proud to have liberated the nation from dictatorship, extremism,fascism, fanaticism, racism and to have got rid of two potential despots. Melanchon is a more correct choice because he is a fairly righteous person. Good the people overhauled the pernicious system . Wish the people take charge of their own affairs and not allow other unscrupulous politicians to create chaos .

Marjane Satrapi is Iranian. Iranians are not sympathetic to Palestinians. M.S. is not sympathetic to Palestinians. Jean-Luc Melenchon is sympathetic to Palestinians. Sympathy for Palestinians is considered by some as "antisemitic" . Hence, Marjane Satrapi considers Jean-Luc Melenchon as "antisemitic". In France, and elsewhere, showing "anti-antisemitism" makes you feel ... clean.

She was just stating facts. Do your research.

@@thewirah1 The FACT is that anti-antisemitism is the new opium of the bourgeoisie "bien pensante". Many people, oftentimes media immigrants aspiring to greater gentility, insinuate that JLM is "anti-semitic" . Based on what? "His relationship with Hamas is quiet; we don't know what it is" dixit Madame Satrapi. On the other hand, I agree with Rokhya Diallo that Melenchon's party La France Insoumise "has been demonized because of their pro-Palestinian stance and they are the only party to address islamophobia". Anti-semitism has to be condemned, but this new instrumentising of anti-semitism is dangerous. It has so far allowed even Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardella to come off as anti-racists in the eyes of unsuspecting voters simply because they brand their vicious islamophobia as sanctimonious anti-antisemitism.

​@thewirah1 What are your sources? Please, not just English language sources.

How they raising the minimun wage? Forcing people?

Biden just gave Hamas more money to buy more weapons.

Such childlike reasoning. The stupid lefties fell for ridiculous platitudes and promises from the radicals. But complaining is far easier than governing and the government won’t be able to keep the promises they’ve made. There’s a REASON they had to raise the pension age but the leftist children and dole-taking immigrants don’t care.

And all these policies will fail , France is bankrupt , the few rich and companies will exit , price caps never work , Goodbye France , it's been over 30 years - a very long way down !

To amy's credit, she tried to challenge her, by asking Rokia Diallo if she agreed. And Diallo did not agree.

Diallo gave many points to challenge what Satapi said, and that was one of the longest answers I've seen on DN.

I wouldn't say she's a propagandist, but she seems to have bought the propaganda.

Salut Thomas ! Merci d'avoir dit la vérité!

@@ThomasPetitbon-ki5qj Outstanding organization, I listen to your leaders' videos all the time.

No the insult is that 37% of the votes for Le Pen did not result in 37% of the seats. That is an insult to democracy. But I am old enough to remember what happened last time, that a "peoples front" was created: it was after WWII in East Europe, where all the democracies were overthrown and replaced by Socialist dictatorships. Millions were sent to working camps, no freedom of speech, suppression of the people. In 1989-1992 the people of East Europe finally said no, and that arrangement was terminated. The fact that Macron did not understand who and what he made a deal with, is incredible. Anyone over 30 should remember this.

France gave nuclear technology to Israel... and they may one day pay a terrible price for that error.

The multi party system with 2 rounds of voting is so much more Democratic than the American and British "first past the post" systems.

Ranked-choice voting might help break up districts where one of the two parties have a monopoly, allowing a third party on the left and a fourth party on the right to have a chance to win office. Or it might not make any difference, since the leading candidate in the NYC mayoral race won anyway. Certainly, it would spare the expense of runoff elections.

No. It is one of the most Democratic countries in the world with a very just 2 round election system which makes it possible for all parts of the political spectrum to be represented. Because it so democratic it can appear "chaotic"...

@@alanwatterson2850 From a British leftist's perspective, the current Labour government does not represent the broader Leftist movement in the West today. There are a few key reasons. 1. The Labour Party wants to continue the political economy of austerity, and the new Chancellor of the Exchequer very much represents economic orthodoxy as a former employee of the 'independent' Bank of England. 2. The Labour Party is Zionist and has encouraged Israel's crimes against humanity while in opposition, including the denial of water and power to Gaza by Israel. They also will not recognise a Palestinian state and are likely to continue to sell arms and security technology to Israel. 3. Labour has continued the demonisation of migrants in British political culture, most recently with a targeted attack on Bangladeshi migrants, as well as in welcoming former Tory MP's into the Labour Party that have voted for a harsher migration regime and who have used racist depictions of migrants. I believe Labour will be more progressive on the economy and foreign policy than the previous Conservative government, but they have given every indication that they will be much more aligned with the centre on these issues. Labour in its current form is much more aligned with the centre-left of Macron and Trudeau than the NFP and is in many ways more right-leaning than either Trudeau or Macron even.
