    I still wouldn’t cheer for her, seeing as she’s an unabashed fascist, but a victory for her would still be a big blow to NATO’s resolve.

    Oh hell yeah, absolutely now way any comrade should cheer for her. Still a pretty big sign that current Nato and Eu policy are extremely unpopular with very large parts of the population, which is honestly staggering considering the enormous propaganda effort currently. All this fear and warmongering should realistically make Western leaders more popular, but we aren’t seeing that at all. That is a glimmer of hope, but ofc still wouldn’t make a president Le Pen desirable at all.

    Edit: 23% Le Pen vs 20% Melechon. France coming that close to being based is both awesome and sad.

      The most important task for Europeans right now is to break up the EU and NATO. Doesnt make any difference whether that is initiated by Le Pen or Melechon.

      1 in 3 youth voted for Melanchon. The EU and NATO’s days are very much numbered.

        (UK perspective)

        Two thirds of people under 50 voted for Labour under Jeremy Corbyn. The future is bright, bright red. Throughout Europe and beyond.
