French election: exit poll shows shock win for left-green alliance as far right falls to third
Leftwing coalition wins most parliamentary seats in France – as it happened
Let us hope the poll shows truth. According to the Associated Press:
A final national tally is expected by early Monday (local time).
Current projections for the parliament:
Mélenchon seems to be aiming to be the head of a left minority government, the question would be, what can be done with a parliament split into thirds, but it is a good sign for the moment
Melenchon will not be the head of the government. He's too hated. Someone else will be picked or they will be censored right away by the other two thirds.
Gosh, maybe this is what’s needed to get the moderates to work with the left rather than playing footsie with the fascists.
Similar to the UK almost as if it's the media that's over representing the far right
Not really. In the UK, the center-left won which was widely expected. The greens (left) did slightly better than expected. And the far-rightnot really. In the UK, the media said that the center-left labour was going to win in a landslide. And they did.
But in France, after the centrists and the left decided to not compete with each other, the left actually came out on top. Where's in the UK, the left (mostly greens) is still very marginalized.
We won
At least there's some bit of good news for a change.
This kind of pisses me off, because it proves lefties won't really go hard regarding organisation or in regards the ballots, unless an existential threat pops it's head out.
Like we see nationalist populism on the rise in Europe, as as an alternative to the limp dick, mainstay, do nothing, "austerity measure solves everything" approach of those sycophantic, weasley bootlickers known as "the liberals" - i.e, the Tories, Renaissance (Macron), Tusk's party, and come to think of it: every other liberal leading party in Europe, whose been controlling narrative and economy for over half a century.
The EU has been saying that we can't have a race to the bottom like we've been doing, but make no mistake: the liberals want that more than anything. It's why these "free market" exploiters have been relying on wage slavery in China since the 50s, in effect propping up an authoritarian regime to save a buck - and now they're complaining about it.
Who exported all manufacturing to communist China? The liberals. Who propped up Putins nationalistic build-up to rebuild the Russian Empire? Fucking liberals. Who keeps blaming foreigners for their own incompetence and stupidity? Conservatives... also known as socially conservative liberals.
Even the word "liberal" or "liberalism" is fake, because it's not about people's freedom or rights, but how to install a private aristocracy free from the reproach of the people.
In essence, liberalism is a lie and liberals are delusional.

I do not think that is how capitalism works. My bad if you are indeed attempting to describe the aesthetics of the tyranny of the bourgeoisie.
TL;Dr the simple mind has a simple world. However, as a socialist libertarian (yes, we exist, we read Marx AND Adam Smith - imagine that) I can't let this slide. Let's hope the commenter has reading comprehension.
The biggest ignorance of most socialists and indeed communists is the idea that capitalism is a political system. It is not. That is basically part of the brain rot in the liberals mind as well. "oh, don't go left, because then you'll destroy capitalism".
Well, what if I'm a libertarian socialist, or even an anarchist, who has an understanding that the political system is allowing a form of capitalism that is predatory and exploitative by way of law, as well as imperialistic and nationaliatic fervour?
Anyone who believes that a "free market" is an unregulated market is an idiot, and that said regulation should happen from the bottom up - and not the top down, that the centralisation of ownership is not because of the capitalist system, but that degeneracy and delusion put on a pedestal that allows for a form of capitalism that is inherently naturalistic, predatory and an aristocrats wet dream.
This is done through the philosophy of naturalism, a philosophy juxtaposed to humanism, and the favourite amongst liberals, nationalists, monarchs, communists, etc. Its basically giving into the pack instinct and mob mentality, formalised in emperors new clothing - or the pope's new hat. Y'know, meritocracy. Naturalists are the best at being degenerate and in denial of it. Shout outs to every "protestant" in the Republican party, the anti-christ dirtbags.
The problem is if you asked anyone to define capitalism, most people would fail horribly. Doesn't matter if they are for or against, you get talking points and party brainrot vomited on your like it's a Saturday in Surry. So let me explain it to you as simply as possible.
Capitalism is a system where we virtualised ownership or property as a form of valuing said property automatically, instead of employing appraisers everywhere - because said appraisers might lie and put your economy into the shitter, we created a system where property can easily - and quickly - moved around assets.
This is why China is so good at capitalism, as well as nationalism and whatever form of communism they have, because they've proven that these things don't need to be mutually exclusive. But westerners point at the thing they don't like, and then blame that, as Xi Jinping plays 3D chess, above and beyond your paygrade, and above and beyond the IQ level of western liberals - which is somewhere above being able to open a door.
It's not a political system, it's not a judicial system, and it never was. That's the big brain rot, the big conjob, that and the fact that the liberals will always claim there's only one form of capitalism - which again, China has thuroughly disproved. It's literally just usury, but applied to property rather than currency. It's a tool, a double edged sword, which in it's current, centralised form fosters dialectal matetialism - yeeeey Marx & Engels.
In essence, people ignore the actual systems, the conditioning through law and community that may foster the brainrot to say "rip it all down". Most of these tankies want to see the world burn, and it shows.
But what if I told you that you could regulate some of it though a public tax record? What if no politician, business, or special interests could hide the chain of money, a chain used to hide the bag, a chain necessary in the capitalist system? Again, not legal system, not financial system, not even economic system, but another overlay in the mix.
How about we take it even further? How about all public spending, even if through private contracts, must be publicly disclosed, or else the leadership of the parties, government bodies or companies behind them - despite not being "directly involved" - tried for high treason... because incompetency should be tried as treason.
In any case, anyone stupid enough to want to depose capitalism, asks only for another form of centralised usury to replace it - like what the USSR tried, and miserably failed at. But at the end of the day, the western world needs to wake up to the fact that capitalism is centrally controlled because we allow it to be.
And that is the real problem. Some strong man, some cult like party, some sycophantic circle jerk, wether on the right on the left, that will inevitably fail their people, because their priorities amounted to "these people bad, we must destroy these people, baceuse monkey go smash".
I reject all naturalism, for I am a humanist, and reject the idea that capitalism - not socialism - is the problem of anything. Both are scapegoats. You need the individual, you need the community, you need the collective. They are not mutually exclusive, but judging from two centuries of "is vs them" mixed together with enlightenment theories has lead us down a path of intellectual suicide.
Don't come here with that bullshit, because then I'll reject you like I reject centrists, moderates, conservative, social democrats or any of the other liberal rebrandings, let alone tankies and "rip the system down" imbeciles who have blood on the tooth.
I reject all of that, because for thousands of years, naturalism has reigned. It's time for humanism to take it's rightful place, and that rejects all political ideologies and forces you to actually think - which people don't like to do.
So I expect thuroughly that you have not read this far, and even if you did, I expect packaged talking points returned from your favourite political denomination, a denomination I've categorically rejected in this text.
I wish you well.
My dear French brothers and sisters, I'm so fucking proud of you. Maybe hope is not all lost yet. Let's all take your example and make this the the new election trend.
