French President Emmanuel Macron on Saturday, February 14, urged calm and restraint after the fatal beating of a 23-year-old French youth aligned with the far-right on the sidelines of a conference by a hard-left lawmaker in the southeastern city of Lyon.
The death of the young man – identified only as Quentin – has intensified tensions between France’s far-right and radical left who are both eyeing 2027 presidential elections.
He had been hospitalized in Lyon on Thursday after being attacked while providing what his supporters said was security for a protest against an appearance by hard-left MEP Rima Hassan at the Lyon branch of the Sciences Po university.
One DSA member for every eight hundred Democrats and republicans says a lot actually.
And years ago, there we people saying the same as you about the political parties that we struggle to remember now. I won’t lose hope, but you’re entitled to your speculation.
Socialism is a hundred year old political theory and that’s all the buy-in it’s gotten in that time.
Three countries off the top of my head are socialist. Actually I can think of a couple more, so yeah we’ve got a pretty good start. You can look into it yourself if you have any questions, I don’t feel you’re here to discuss in good faith. So, have a nice day.
Three out of a hundred and ninety five?
So that’s about 1.5% of the world?
That’s better than the 0.125% of DSA members vs democrats and republicans.
Sorry I’m not in the socialist circle jerk but if you retreat to your echo chamber you can dodge reality for a while longer.
Like I said, as I was typing I thought of more. Three was just the immediate number I thought of.
Yes 3 / 195 is indeed 1.5%. That number adds nothing of essence to determine what percent of the world population is leftist in their politics. Countries do not have consistent landmass or population, and within even socialist countries not all people are left in their political ideology.
Look you’re clearly not a leftist and you’re here to just troll, so why comment on “leftist infighting” at all? I address this in my previous comment but you just ignored it. So again, have a nice day.
I’m a leftist but I’m also a realist so I’m a liberal.
I used to be a lot further left but the more time I spend on this site the more I realize it’s a hopeless political position with the gatekeeping and infighting so the more I become liberal.
