​It's anti Zionist colonizers not the same. Palestinians are semites they aren't against their own freedom.

She is correct, you are the one not knowing what you are talking about. Here is the story (short version): when the Soviet Union collapsed in 1992 the lies of the Left were exposed to the world, the workers NEVER wanted to be suppressed by the totalitarian dictatorship (I live here, I know). For a year or so the Left was silent. Then it invented the Palestinians as a new group of "suppressed people" and "a suppressed people is always right" (remember that phrase?). From there it expanded: not only were Palestinians correct, the Left now supports migration of islam supporters, sharia law, suppression of women, marrying of 11 year old girls to middle age men and Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthi terrorism (including terror by the Rohingyas, remember?). The Left loves totalitarian states, be it a military Socialist dictatorship like Burma, ISIS, Boku Haram, Taliban in Afghanistan. And Mélenchon is no different. He would love to destroy French society and culture, he wants to be the new Hitler (he was also a Socialist), Stalin, Pol Pot or Ho Chi Minh. He already demanded to be appointed the new "Führer" of France. This is what Socialists always have stood for, and NOTHING is different in 2024.

No moderate. The far left does, however.

Leftists do that.

Still Lillian, you have to admit that it was an error to have Adrien Quatennens on the ballot after being accused by his wife of abuse. Mme Diallo referred to this situation in contrast to the false accusations of anti-semitism by saying that the nomination of Quatennens was more serious than the false charges of anti-semitism. And I agree with her.

AND now reading some of the other comments I see I am EXTRA correct. ALSO, I watched the other clip re Iranian elections and her comments. I have never gone to that country, but she so sounds like people who leave their country for the west and think they have all the knowledge about where they came from. I hear it all the time. In reality, people like her, like that, hate their origins, feel superior, and actually would serve the world if they did some deep personal work to correct that. Stop talking in public as an "expert," and adding to the mess of confusing the world.

She sounds like a complete dullard

Where do you think she's wrong here ? Genuinely asking. Im not a fan of Marjane whatsoever.

What the hell are you lying about now ??? I live here in France and there was no 'far left riot?' - total nonsense…

Yeah men that was so cool.

So they can keep pretending there's a far right.

You mean the far left fiery but mostly peaceful protest?

Absolutely

Satrapi is an apologist of israel, accusing the people who support palestinians like Melenchon to be a H-ama-s Simpatizer, there is no one single piece of evidence of that. because if there was any. it has been show in the Campaign. Marjane Satrapi is full of -💩

The US has way bigger urban shit holes than the Paris banlieues, Marseille, etc. the décline has started.

Why? Republicans in the U.S. never do. In fact they almost never win by popular vote. It’s that same frustration that leads them to try a fascist takeover instead. They aren’t even a political party anymore. They are simply an organized power grab now.

In the US you can elect presidents who lost the popular vote.

Communists always do that, that’s how Lenin seized the Russian revolution. This is interesting to me as a Romanian born and raised since the Romanians have always been discriminated and bullied by the French being called ethnic slurs ‘Gitanes’ and the only crime we committed was being sold to the communist USSR by the west after the WW2. I can’t wait for the French people to ask for political asylum in Romania. Interesting how nobody migrates to communist countries but the communists always try to escape communism to more moderate or right wing countries. And people don’t ask themselves why, I thought the French people were smarter, obviously I was wrong.

Absolutely.

Yes, that thought popped into my head as well. It's very strange.

France has a massive public sector who vote leftist to keep themselves in jobs. France also has many folks on social welfare programs. The scales tip in the leftists balance until the money runs out.

Of course it was rigged the question is what are the true people going to do about it.

Pretty much :D Seriously though, the French constitution wasn't designed to withstand the far right being in power, we really dodged a bullet. You guys might have more chances of beating the far right than we would have had. Now I HOPE the left and the right get to work fixing our democratic system as quickly as possible. Sooner or later, the far right might get in power anyway. The question is: will they ever give it back, or will we continue to pave the way for a dictatorship?

@@lextacy2008 good point

Same thing happened in England, too. Nobody wants to end up like us.

Marxists. Thats what the Democratic Party called the LEFT going back to President Truman. Be damned if the Americans give up our Culture to Woke Communists.

It worries me that we'll be the only ones to succumb.

Marjane Satrapi is Iranian. Iranians are not sympathetic to Palestinians. M.S. is not sympathetic to Palestinians. Jean-Luc Melenchon is sympathetic to Palestinians. Sympathy for Palestinians is considered by some as "antisemitic" . Hence, Marjane Satrapi considers Jean-Luc Melenchon as "antisemitic". In France, and elsewhere, showing "anti-antisemitism" makes you feel ... clean.

She was just stating facts. Do your research.

@@thewirah1 The FACT is that anti-antisemitism is the new opium of the bourgeoisie "bien pensante". Many people, oftentimes media immigrants aspiring to greater gentility, insinuate that JLM is "anti-semitic" . Based on what? "His relationship with Hamas is quiet; we don't know what it is" dixit Madame Satrapi. On the other hand, I agree with Rokhya Diallo that Melenchon's party La France Insoumise "has been demonized because of their pro-Palestinian stance and they are the only party to address islamophobia". Anti-semitism has to be condemned, but this new instrumentising of anti-semitism is dangerous. It has so far allowed even Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardella to come off as anti-racists in the eyes of unsuspecting voters simply because they brand their vicious islamophobia as sanctimonious anti-antisemitism.

​@thewirah1 What are your sources? Please, not just English language sources.

I do know a lot about French politics, and yes, he is being demonized about the issue of anti-Semitism. But he does have some problems about being too authoritarian in his party's leadership and some members of his party in rebellion- even at the time of their victory yesterday. A very complex situation...

Jean-Luc Mélenchon has been demonized by his opponents and by the entire media, including left-wing media by the way, for years now. It only got worse after October 7, now we've clearly entered defamation territory. To be sure, he's not exactly a cuddly bear. I wish he were a grumpy but lovely Grandpa like Bernie Sanders but he just isn't. He can be quite agressive and even dismissive in the way he expresses himself and that rubs a LOT of people the wrong way. But it also pleases a lot of people who are happy to see someone stand up and defend them. And yes, his political movement is not democratic, and many people on the left take grave offense to that, and automatically assume he's a dictator wannabe. I wish his party was democratic, but I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. It's not easy to build a cohesive left wing movement when the entire economic system, political system and media environment is against what the left stands for. The Greens have been trying to do that with a flawlessly democratic party and I'm sad to report that they've been utterly failing. Mélenchon has been pretty strategic so far, his vision has been on point, and he's allowed the next generation of leftists to blossom. We owe him a great debt. If he's ever proven to be actually antisemitic or if his party still isn't democratic after they've actually succeeded, you'll see me criticize him, but not until then. Don't buy the media propaganda, they don't have our best interest at heart.

No, the reality is far worse.

You should watch the coverage on Tousi TV.

In the present circumstances, the French people should be proud to have liberated the nation from dictatorship, extremism,fascism, fanaticism, racism and to have got rid of two potential despots. Melanchon is a more correct choice because he is a fairly righteous person. Good the people overhauled the pernicious system . Wish the people take charge of their own affairs and not allow other unscrupulous politicians to create chaos .

Salut Thomas ! Merci d'avoir dit la vérité!

@@ThomasPetitbon-ki5qj Outstanding organization, I listen to your leaders' videos all the time.

No the insult is that 37% of the votes for Le Pen did not result in 37% of the seats. That is an insult to democracy. But I am old enough to remember what happened last time, that a "peoples front" was created: it was after WWII in East Europe, where all the democracies were overthrown and replaced by Socialist dictatorships. Millions were sent to working camps, no freedom of speech, suppression of the people. In 1989-1992 the people of East Europe finally said no, and that arrangement was terminated. The fact that Macron did not understand who and what he made a deal with, is incredible. Anyone over 30 should remember this.

The multi party system with 2 rounds of voting is so much more Democratic than the American and British "first past the post" systems.

Ranked-choice voting might help break up districts where one of the two parties have a monopoly, allowing a third party on the left and a fourth party on the right to have a chance to win office. Or it might not make any difference, since the leading candidate in the NYC mayoral race won anyway. Certainly, it would spare the expense of runoff elections.

@@alanwatterson2850 From a British leftist's perspective, the current Labour government does not represent the broader Leftist movement in the West today. There are a few key reasons. 1. The Labour Party wants to continue the political economy of austerity, and the new Chancellor of the Exchequer very much represents economic orthodoxy as a former employee of the 'independent' Bank of England. 2. The Labour Party is Zionist and has encouraged Israel's crimes against humanity while in opposition, including the denial of water and power to Gaza by Israel. They also will not recognise a Palestinian state and are likely to continue to sell arms and security technology to Israel. 3. Labour has continued the demonisation of migrants in British political culture, most recently with a targeted attack on Bangladeshi migrants, as well as in welcoming former Tory MP's into the Labour Party that have voted for a harsher migration regime and who have used racist depictions of migrants. I believe Labour will be more progressive on the economy and foreign policy than the previous Conservative government, but they have given every indication that they will be much more aligned with the centre on these issues. Labour in its current form is much more aligned with the centre-left of Macron and Trudeau than the NFP and is in many ways more right-leaning than either Trudeau or Macron even.
