French Far-Left Rising

[CountDeMoney]

Cuba is not a dictatorship according to him as well

You know, I love me some Sarkozy, but I have to admit:  I like this guy.

"Look, we have to smash this prejudice that the rich are useful just because they're rich," he said.

Awesome.

His detractors say he is France-centric and anti-European.

Awesomer.

But the principle danger is the world today is the US. "The Americans don't have a good press in our country and I take it upon myself to lead the scepticism that their behaviour elicits." He says the US is in "a crisis of hegemony", and that "their currency is sick and they're trying to defend it by every means possible, keeping it as a world reserve currency that allows them to live off the rest of the world's credit".

He adds: "The US's only comparative advantage today is its military. It's dangerous because it's a wounded beast."

HEY NOW

You know, if the Tsar had actually killed Lenin.....

I love any candidate running on a 1789 platform.  Plus his arguments with Le Pen are magnificent.  Responding to being called the 'useful idiot of the system' she said that her obsession with foreigners is 'half-demented'

Edit:  For example: 'In a Revolution, there are no nice bits and nasty bits. It is a whole unto itself! Yes, there may be mistakes and failures - but oh, how marvellous, how glorious, how splendid, how extraordinary, how luminous a story for humankind!'

I like this too 'France is not a Western country, it is a universalist country'

It's rolling on, though.  He got a crowd of 70 000 in a rainy Toulouse.

It'll be interesting, after the first round, to see the social makeup of his vote.

Meanwhile Sarko's campaigns been unhappy with the perception of Germany running Europe.  So Juppe's promised that if Sarko wins he'll put France back in the driving seat and create 'a new Europe...a Europe of borders...a Europe that protects.'  He's not just promising to renegotiate Schengen but to change trade rules to protect Europe from this 'profoundly new world we face'.

Next up: disbanding france.

Amen, brother.

If only more nations took that attitude.

You people over there will never get along with one another.  It's beautiful to see.

Who wouldn't be a little upset at being overshadowed by America?

I'm not sure where his surge in the polls is coming from, but my feeling is from working class folks who've had enough of Le Pen's hateful shit.

I'll take a true lefty over a fascist polling at 15% any day.

As for hateful shit, he's pretty good at it, for instance vs Lithuanians.
