  • Not every left-wing idea is great and not every right-wing idea is bad. It really depends.

    For instance, american red states have really dumb gun laws but they make it very easy to build housing.

  • He and his supporters HATE when you call him far-left.

    We have had a debate for months on his wikipedia page over whether or not he is far left.

    • Said Ukraine should have respected Russia
    • Wrote an entire book attacking the EU
    • He was endorsed by the anti-capitalist movement (NPA) in several elections.
    • He once called Venezuela a source of inspiration
    • Once describe businessmen as "the class of exploiters"
    • Called several critics "degenerate bourgeois"
    • Sentenced to jail for physically pushing a prosecutor on camera
    • He is more to the left than Pedro Sanchez or Jeremy Corbyn

    I wrote that he is far-left on his wikipedia page.

    Someone deleted it. Someone added "far-left" again. Someone deleted that again. Someone added "far-left" again. The Wikipedia French administrators ended up intervening. His official article now says "Some consider him far-left".

    For the record, 70% of french people surveyed call him far-left:

  • They are left-center/left at best,

    Left of center 🤔 ?

    Here is Jean-Luc Melenchon, the official leader of LFI :

    "Look at what Chavez achieved in Venezuela. Our goal is to transform an angry people into a revolutionary people. This is what we want in France. It's what I'm pushing for"*

    Here is the official X account of LFI :

    "Capitalism isn't a system that can be regulated. Our goal is radical change"

    It's okay to be far-left. It's not a crime dude.
