France has a cringe communist party that went succdem, and a shit ton of trots. Most anti-imperialists are in the reformist movement LFI since Mélenchon was the only politician to voice our opinions. But shit is a mess and I don’t think it will lead to revolution. Check how the yellow vests turned out and you’ll see what will happen when the crisis kicks in
France leaving NATO was in his presidential program
He was always accused of being pro Putin, his official stance is that he is against his policies and support left wing opposition but also thinks France shouldn’t be aligned and should treat Russia as a country with respect and cooperation
Yes he still thinks France shouldn’t be a vassal of the US. Although since he is an electoralist in a country where the media is full on propaganda and brain-dead idealism, he can’t have a solid materialist position, he has to appear against all wars and all capitalists.
So yeah that’s lame, as I said, there is no revolution coming from that. LFI is just the only space where anti-imperialists are allowed to exist but that doesn’t mean we can gain mass support through it.
Clearly, Macron is a pure neolib that flirts with fascism as they all do now. It might be seen as the “cool progressive guy” but actually his government normalized far-right talking points like “islamo-leftism” to the point of trying to purge universities from “them”, setting up the repression of anti-colinial and gender-related scientific research

I’ve heard some good things about Mélenchon, but apparently he’s pro-NATO?
He chickened out and supports sanctions against Russia now.
more like Mélenchicken am I right

Does he still want this, despite supporting sanctions on Russia?

That’s at least far better than Macron
