Kind of yeah, but shes against neoliberalism, free markets, the EU and NATO. She advocates heavy state intervention in the economy, protectionism and withdrawal of France from the EU and NATO. If this were to happen it would deal a serious blow to US influence in Europe. I think shes also against the sanctions on Russia. While she indeed is islamophobe and racist, this is much better than Macron the neoliberal US puppet.
US literally spent decades eradicating any serious left wing organization in the west while actively propping up fascists as a bulwark against USSR. The results we’re seeing shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone.
This sounds like blatant classic autocratic fascism… And let me guess: not like she hates Muslims, but more likely wants to promote Catholicism into a fundamental part of the state, isn’t it?
Shes no more autocratic than Macron is. Go look up what the police under Macrons orders did to the yellow vest protest movement before coming here and fearmonger about “muh fascism”. I dont think she wants to promote catholicism, i think she just hates muslims because shes racist.
Dude, you really think that an OPEN fascist will be less harmful than a neoliberal?
See the pattern? Every non-righto campaign promeses are completely left out, while doubling the rightist ones.
Macron was masked as a “soft rightoid” while Le Pen is masked as an open fascist.
You think we don’t have this shit here in Spain?
The Falange Española promoted itself as a proworker +prounion with catholic traces (🤔) and at the end, Franco and Civil War and Franco again, then monarchy happened.
LePen is nothing like Falange, more like VOX. Only that VOX are neolibs and proNATO while LePen isnt at least in theory. So what? If the choice is between a certainly proUS neolib fascist and a possibly antiUS and antineolib fascist, ill take the second one.
It’d be nice if Mélenchon wins, but Le pen is still better than neoliberal Macron.
In what way is Pen better? This looks reminiscent of Biden vs Trump
Isn’t LePen basically fascist?

I can’t believe that leftism is so stagnated in the west somehow a less right wing opponent is the best

I know that but I would love for there to at least be social democrat
Socdems are essentially centrist, and when times get hard the centre tends to disappear with people going hard left or right.
I know that, but its better than a right winger who knows and actively pursues right wing policies
indeed
At least here on my country we actually have somewhat of a left, the west is just sistematically fucked.
Le Pen will forego all her non-fascist promises if she gets elected. Her populism, like all fascists, is fake.
Basically.

I’d choice to neither, but do as you please.
She’s essentially a particularly right wing Gaullist. See dirigisme.
