Building housing isn’t a right wing idea.

In the United States, it is.

• California or New York barely build any housing.

• States like Texas or Florida build a shit-ton of housing.

Sad but true.

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

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

Here is a statement from him:

“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 his political party :

“Capitalism isn’t a system that can be regulated. Our goal is radical change”

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

I put that he is far-left. Dude voted against aid to Ukraine and was endorsed by the anti-capitalist movement (NPA) in several elections. He is more to the left than Pedro Sancez.

Someone deleted it. Someone added “far-left” again. Someone deleted it again.

The Wikipedia French administrators ended up intervening. The article now says “Many consider him far-left”

For the record, most french people surveyed call him far-left.

They hate being called far-left.

Some french people don’t know this, but the 4 largest sectors of the French economy are Defense, Luxury, Wine, and Tourism.

And the largest clients of French weapons? The Arabs. Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE.
