The world is much richer when regions are allowed to flourish. It would be a tragedy if regions and countries were swallowed up by a boarderless world

“Le Monde, which leans Left and has a habit of quoting liberal intellectuals,”
Gosh! Real liberal intellectuals, eh? I trust that John Lloyd has his tongue in his cheek, though it makes it funnier if he doesn’t.
Marine Le Pen is a canary in the mine. Those who object to her should remember that there is a lot worse out there.

There are plenty of people who argue that the Old Left and the Old Right in government are two cheeks of the same a**e. And it may need a political revolution to replace them and reform the Civil Service.
Is Marine Le Pen the person do do that for France? Maybe yes, maybe no. But it is a sign that the days of the Old Left and the Old Right are numbered… and the French have the concept of ‘revolution’ deeply seated in their culture.

Macron was perhaps helped in 2017/2022 by facing Le Pen in the presidential run off as it compelled the left to hold their noses and vote for a neoliberal they claimed to hate. In the long run though I think it’s helped Le Pen/RN as it’s left them the only opposition party uncontaminated by Macronism.

No, Le Pen will not win she is simply not good enough. The party she leads has no depth of talent. If you listen to Moroni and see what she has actually done you can see there is far more “depth” to her. Whether you agree with or not. The Swedish Democrats the same. Even Orban is undoubtedly a clever politician.

Allons enfants de la Patrie,
Le jour de gloire est arrivé !
Contre nous de la tyrannie
L’étendard sanglant est levé,
Entendez-vous dans les campagnes
Mugir ces féroces soldats ?
Ils viennent jusque dans vos bras
Égorger vos fils, vos compagnes !

“Ni Fascio, ni BoBo [bourgeois bohemian, akin to radical chic], mais Patriot”.
One, it is spelled “Ni Facho, ni Bobo, mais Patriote”. Two, bobos are not “radical chic” at all but mostly affluent Macron or moderate Socialist voters who helicopter parent their kids, buy everything organic, and gentrify urban areas. They’re ruthless nimbyists far from the Mélenchon left.

She can win by being a seceret sellout to US interests like Georgia Meloni is. A phony populist who’s for giving Italian military hardware to Ukraine, and wants to shut off trade with China. Right when the US is declining in every category.
