MODERATORS
100% unprofessional take:
From what I got by quickly screening his Wikipedia article he is a ~~populist~~ French politician on the left with ~~a couple of views~~ one view so bonkers most of us on the left don’t want to have people like him on the left.
Great, we have a couple of those in Germany too. Have fun with that maniac.
Edit: Made a mistake.
which views?
You know what? I made a mistake. I saw his position on the Russian annexation of Crimea (which is bonkers) and his stance of France leaving NATO (which is straight up stupid) and I didn’t give the rest of the article enough attention. The overwhelming majority of what he stands for is actually pretty neat.
Edit: Again. I have no idea about French politics so don’t quote me on this.
Being anti-NATO is the default stance for Leftists, whether you are Marxist or Anarchist.
Fair play to you.
