Well, if you read the article, this guy has a pretty big impact on France’s political climate.
One program funded by Mr. Stérin has, by his count, trained at least 4,000 right-wing candidates in the municipal elections. With the far-right National Rally party projected to potentially win the presidency next year, Mr. Stérin is striving to accelerate France’s rightward shift.
What kind of changes is he looking push for France? Well for one he wants to ban Muslims from France down to their food and dress and wants to deport immigrants (read: Muslims).
The guy doesn’t even live in France. He moved to Belgium 14 years ago to avoid paying taxes. So why the interest in politics? Oh yeah, right…
Finally, he would slash the country’s taxes; dismantle the welfare system; privatize education and health care delivery; and end public funding for culture. “I am a fervent supporter of competition,” he said.
LFI that is almost universally hated by all other parties. Mainly because of a smear campaign pushed by the right-wing parties, all while doing an opposite campaign to clear the far-right.
Now a lot of people consider that if they had to choose, they’d rather vote for the right/far-right than LFI, because people are now scared of them like americans were scared of communists. They are shown as a group of chaotic, violent, dangerous and vicious anarchists.
Yet their representants keep being reelected. The far right propaganda doesn’t work well on the people they treat as subhuman. And contrary to the US you can’t gerimander. They try to forbid the group, but since they tolerated the nazy party they can’t forbid LFI for something the Nazi part did and wasn’t dissolved for.
Yes, but LFI persisting doesn’t mean that nothing is getting worse. What is happening is that the left is becoming more solid, but at the same time the far right is growing and absorbing everything that is not on the (actual) left. LFI won’t get dissolved anytime soon, but the nazis might win in the meanwhile.
Anarchism is pretty good, it means you can decide yourself rather than being at the mercy of companies and authoritarians. It means you aren’t bound to capitalism.
LFI is what French people want and should want. I’ve been assaulted by fascists and I’ve only grown more fond of LFI because of it.
I’m not saying it’s bad, I’m saying that it’s portrayed as bad and that most people are brainwashed into thinking that leftists are evil.
Sadly it will take a lot more people getting assaulted by nazis before people change their minds.
Heck, even during ww2 it took them having their country conquered to start thinking that maybe fascism isn’t that nice. And back then the propaganda was less vicious.

“I’m ahead already so fuck all of you.”
Hope France remembers its roots. Fuck this guy.
The centre needs to treat this guy for what he is: an existential crisis for France’s wellbeing
Centre aka the right.
Centre?
Left already knows the far right is a problem, “centre” often cooperates with it, thinking they can keep it in control.
I don’t think that’s the truth anymore, in France the centre is fully cooperating with the right and far right, and opposed to the left.
Heck, even the “moderate left” is not really left anymore, and would rather side with the right than with the actual left.
The political scale got completely shifted to normalize the far right, the left barely exists anymore.
Not necessarily, there’s LFI.
