I am asking this because of the ever increasing support from the bourgeoisie, as the contradictions withing the french bourgeois class due to the fall of their neo-colonial empire and the decay of western hegemony. In 2027 Le Pen will frame herself as the true opposition to the current state of things as the NPF libs and Macronists inevitably fail to resolve any of their current problems.

Besides the PCRF, all of the major communist/socialist parties are social fascists, leaving the working class with no reliable party to stand by against the rise of fascism.

So, are we doomed to see a fascist Le Pen ruling France by 2027?

    Just as revolution is built, imperialism&colonialism turned inward is also built. As imperialism and colonialism are themselves built. That the conditions develop toward making such a thing more favorable or unfavorable to being built does not make it inevitable.

    Cop City in the US is an example of this. They’re trying to build a police force that will no doubt be used against the citizens, given everything we know about how US police operate.

    So I would say, look for what the fascists are trying to build in France. What organizations do they have, who are they targeting for recruitment (such as weaponizing the youth), what physical force are they building or maintaining. I know the conditions won’t be identical to the US, but things still have to be built by someone. “Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun”, as Mao said.

    What I’m kind of trying to get at here is to look at: 1) how can they reach the point of obtaining that power and 2) what can they do with it, materially.

    And in the same way, what can be done to organize against it and build an alternative.

    Hope that makes sense.
