They like to act tough, she like to turn them up.
they had cause you know they soft and when
Time my face lit up so astounding.
I told her, and my heart is what she always be.
She never messed with entertainers cause they always leave.
She said it felt like they walked and drove on me.
Knew I was gang-affiliated, got on TV and told on me.
I guess that's why last winter she got so cold on me.
She said, Yay, keep making that, keep making that platinum and gold for me.
Do you think about me now?
Do you think about me now?
Could start again.
But if you really cared for her, then you wouldn't have never hit the airport to follow your dreams.
Sometimes I still talk to her, but when I talk to her, it always seems like she's talking about me.
She said you left your kids, and they just like you.
They wanna rap and make so beats just like you.
But they just not you, and I just got through.
Talking about what niggas tryna do, just not new.
That everybody got the game figured out all wrong.
I guess you never know what you got till it's gone.
I guess that's why I'm here, and I can't come back home.
And guess when I heard that, when I was back home, every interview I'm representing you, making you proud.
Reach for the stars, cause if you fall, you land on the cloud.
Jump in the crowd, talking lighters, wave them around.
If you don't know by now, talking about shot down.
Do you think about it now, man?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm also asking for a
So
For some I'm also asking for a
Good job, you incompetent fucks.
You finally fucking did it after 30 minutes.
Do better next time!
What the fuck is this?
Gentry with the 10.
What's going on, brother?
I see you.
What's going on, Ed?
Set these gorillas in line.
Yo!
Wait, why am I saluting lazy gorillas?
I'm saluting Ed Gentry.
The lazy gorillas.
Don't worry about it, all right?
We have a list.
You will be going to the see when the time comes, oh Haz, what happened?
I'm going to the Bering Strait.
I don't know what happened.
I don't know.
Yeah, too late.
Should have clicked two buttons for real.
You guys, you know, I'm not going to compromise.
I'm a dictator.
I don't negotiate with the people, all right?
Two hundred, even if it takes three hours, I will not compromise or move an inch.
That's my political strong arming.
And I cannot be overthrown.
Understand that I cannot be overthrown.
I am the dictator.
All right, anyway, guys.
On a more serious note, we have some things to talk about.
I need a haircut and I need to cut my beard.
But never mind that.
We have all right, on a serious note, I am I want to talk about some serious stuff for real.
Where to begin?
Where to begin?
So I've been talking about pan-leftism for a long time.
Mostly as a kind of ideology and a kind of discourse.
I don't know, very vague, you know, a cultural trend.
But in France we actually see literal Alexander the Great with the s subscription.
What's going on?
In France, we actually see the political form of pan-leftism emerge like in a concrete political way.
But I would be very hesitant, although it calls itself the new popular front, and we'll get to that in a second, because it's very cynical actually.
It's not a popular front.
And it is absolutely no coincidence.
And let's call a spade a spade.
Melanchon is from a Trotskyite background.
I like Melanchon more than the French Communist Party.
I think he's the best and most solid mainstream politician in France right now, personally.
But it's not a coincidence that pan leftist united fronts
um form that are led by Trotskyites because it's not a popular front.
Popular fronts are something different.
So basically the difference between a popular front and a united front is that popular fronts are
Popular.
I mean, uh
That's a very superficial way of presenting it.
But popular fronts are the the theory goes that you win the nation, right?
That you win the popular national majority.
So popular fronts are trying to base themselves in the farmers, they're trying to base themselves in the soil of the people.
The exact demographics that, rhetorically speaking, fascists seek to target and recruit in the 1930s.
So pop that's why popular fronts were the context in which patriotism started to be strongly emphasized among the left wing and among communists in the Comintern.
It was about reclaiming the nation.
And instead of a sh a politics strictly based and exclusively based on class struggle, it was a broad anti-hegemony politics between the national majority and monopoly cap versus monopoly capital.
And it's fascist henchmen, right?
So that was the popular front.
United fronts are different.
And there's nothing incompatible within Trotskyism with United Fronts.
United Fronts are tenuous and conditional alliances between different parties and groups organized around like programs, okay?
Or the lack thereof.
But program is what's central.
Even if there's not a clear, fleshed-out program, the assumption is that the basis of the unity is something like that, right?
The realization of some kind of direct goal.
When it comes to, you know, on programmatic lines, policy-based lines.
In this case, it's in the negative.
It's to prevent the anti-immigration agenda of the right.
So there's no positive political program.
But in Greece, Syriza, which was another pan-leftist coalition led by Trotskyites, you had a very similar thing.
It was a united front based on a common program, which was the false promise they were trying to make to people that they were going to end the austerity and they were going to renegotiate Greece's debt.
With the European Central Bank and the German and French banks.
So, you know, this is sorry, the German banks primarily.
So this is the situation we're dealing with here in France, except it's a united front formed on the basis of blocking the ascendancy of the anti-immigration agenda of the right wing.
And there's really nothing more to it.
In terms of what characterizes the so-called, you know, new popular front, there's nothing else.
It's not united around anything else but that.
Don't believe me?
Well, don't worry because we're gonna get into it.
But
I'm sorry, I just
I think anger is a sign of weakness.
But can I be angry for a second?
I want to be clear about what priorities mean and where people's priorities are.
And when I say pr I'm talking about the pan-leftist ideologists who spent, you know, not all of their time, but, you know, between between these different, you know, red libs and all of these news watchers.
Wow.
Viva la fronte do open booty hole.
Viva la frane.
I don't know what that.
Thank you for the five, but I don't.
Anyway.
George Galloway is a red line because he is transphobic.
But it's okay to enter into an alliance with a literal CIA agent who's been involved in multiple color revolutions, who is more of a neoliberal than Macron is, who is more of a NATO shill than even Macron is.
That's not a red line.
Only transgenderism is a red line.
Can you think, can you take that in for a second about what their priorities are?
Because I know I'm preaching to the choir and we all know this and say it all the time.
But ask your average pan-leftist, hey, why didn't you rally around George Galloway?
And they'll say something about transgenders.
But why is transgenderism more important than supporting NATO?
I don't understand.
Isn't that incredible?
Isn't that just profound?
Isn't the hypocrisy doesn't make you doesn't it make you sick to your stomach that level of hypocrisy?
Where does that come from?
Okay, so it's okay to have a pan-leftist coalition where some of the leftists are straight up literal NATO shill CIA neoliberals.
I'm not calling Melanchon that, he's not, but that's who his alliance is comprised of.
But that's okay, because why?
Because they all support gay rights and transgenderism.
Why is that the red line?
I don't understand it.
Why is that the most important thing that defines whether politics is fascist or right-wing or left-wing?
Why is that so central?
Is that not evincing something?
deeply false and hypocritical and wrong about the prevailing panleftist ideology.
That is absolutely incredible.
That is absolutely incredible, right?
But I don't want to get emotional.
I want to have a cold and sober class analysis.
Okay?
So before anything,
We should get into that.
And before we analyze what is actually going on in France and what is going to happen in France, the following is a demograph, the only one that I could find that's in English.
Demographic breakdown of the elections.
And I think they're pretty revealing.
And it'll give us a hint as far as what exactly is going on here.
So here's a demographic breakdown of.
This is pretty funny.
This is pretty incredible.
Alright, just watch this.
Alright, so let's just, because we're Marxists, these are vaguely proxies of class status.
I know it's not exact, it's not precise, but they are vague proxies.
Okay.
So, among managerials, the new left, the new popular front, quote unquote, the plurality of them are going toward the new popular front, manager, professional managerials.
No surprises there.
It's the broad tendency of leftism.
Intermediate occupations, we don't know what that means, but they seem to be a little neck and neck with the far right.
Now, here's what I think I want to draw your attention to.
White-collar workers, okay, so I imagine this includes the service industry, the far right gets the plurality.
Blue-collar workers, the far right gets a majority.
And I want to focus on these, okay?
Because here's my hypothesis: all that has happened with the victory of.
Um
The pan-leftist coalition is that they have duped this these these portions of the working class that still support them because of their economic policies and all they've done is falsely and mislead them into an alliance with these people right as well as the uh
the uh the bourgeoisie in general, right?
The centrists who Macron represents ultimately, because put it this way: the victory of the so-called left in France right now is a victory for the center, and I can prove that.
I can actually prove that.
That's all it is.
So, all they have done is sheepdog what little remaining support the left still does have, which is sizable.
It's still, however little it is, it's still relatively sizable among the French working classes because of their rejection of cutting pensions and Macron's neoliberal economic form.
They have lulled them into a class collaboration with elements that are more fundamentally aligned with the center when push comes to shove.
And that is what explains their victory.
They were able to sheepdog precisely these social forces.
This is exactly what I suspected and I needed to see it for it to be confirmed.
But this is precisely what confirms it, okay?
What confirms it to me is that the reason the left was able to make the gains that it did is because in France, unlike the United States, there is still a real French left, at least to a minor degree, that is still relatively rooted in traditional French left-wing economic politics.
Um, a working-class economic left-wing politics, it's still there.
There's still strongholds, working-class strongholds that continue, and migrants as well.
Let's not forget about them that continue to support the left because they reject neoliberalism and Macron's, you know, neoliberal reforms.
So, they are putting their hopes into this pan-leftist coalition because, you know.
They recognize the majority of them have gone over to the far right already.
But for those that haven't done that yet,
That is who the new popular front exploited to make this victory happen.
Without these groups right here, because think about it, look at this.
On the center, look how small the demographics of the working class are in the center.
7% of blue-collar workers voted for the center.
12% of white-collar workers vote for the center.
Very small.
The only significant forces that are winning the working class is the New Popular Front and the far right.
These are the only political forces in France that still have a basis in the working classes.
So it all boils down to the class basis.
To explain how the events unfurled in the way they did.
The work so such a sizable portion of the working class united with all of the other segments of society, right?
That easily could isolate the far right as a minority, right?
So that's see, the majority of France.
has able to uh
Render the far right as a minority, based on preventing them from acquiring a majority, right?
Because the left still has somewhat of a basis in the working class.
So, what are they going to do?
Are they going to be responsible and accountable to that working class?
What are they going to do to the millions of working class people who voted for them on a mandate to resist Macron's neoliberal economic reforms?
That's what I want you to focus on.
Because if the left fails them, what's going to happen?
They're going to go over to the far right, and many of them already have.
Okay, because let's not forget Melanchon by himself is a coward because of what he did in 2022.
When he lost in 2022, he all but told his voters, vote blue no matter who.
Vote for Macron to prevent Le Pen.
He didn't say vote Macron, but he said we cannot allow a Le Pen victory.
So, he told his supporters to put their weight behind Macron in 2022.
So, they we already can see that even the most authentic and genuine left-wing figurehead within this coalition, who's Melanchon, doesn't have the balls to assert a sovereign and independent left-wing politics when push comes to shove.
Whenever there's a fear of the far right, he's gonna fall in line and vote blue no matter who, just like Bernie Sanders telling his voters, you know, they need to vote for Biden to prevent the fascist threat.
So, and why is it a fascist threat, by the way?
Because of the racism and the anti-immigration stuff.
Remind me where in Dmitrov's analysis of fascism was that the essence of fascism?
The essence of fascism is imperialism and militarism, okay, it's about war.
It's not about bigotry and prejudice and being opposed to mass migration.
That's not what defines fascism.
You know, the throwback to the historical popular front in the name was just purely cynical.
They are exploiting bastions of the traditional French left wing by lying to them and telling them this is just like the 1930s, this is the popular front of the 1930s, and it has nothing in common with that popular front.
Why?
Because the popular front of the 1930s was an anti-militarist, anti-imperialist, anti-fascist coalition, literal anti-fascist coalition.
That's not what this is.
This is delivering up what little of what remains of the left-wing French working classes up on a silver platter and selling them out to the center.
That's all this victory is going to amount to.
I challenge anyone.
In the coming weeks, to draw, I hope I'm wrong.
By the way, what do I gain by being correct?
I may be wrong.
By some miracle, Macron may appoint Melanchon as prime minister, even though he has said directly several times that he's not going to do it in a million years, that he considers Melanchon and his party to be just as dangerous as Eric Zimour, the guy whose name starts with a B, I forget his name, and Le Pen.
He says Melanchon is just as dangerous as the far-right extremists, and he regards them in the same way.
And he said it's absolutely necessary that they be isolated in the same way as the far-right.
So, you want to know what Macron is going to do?
He's going to forge an alliance with the center-left elements within this pan-leftist coalition and fucking isolate Melanchon and sideline him.
And then it's going to be on Melanchon to either fall in line and be the sellout like he was in 2022 or have the fucking balls to actually stand his ground and totally shut down the French government and hold the line, which I hope he does.
That's the only thing that could redeem him.
If Melanchon holds, because he's talking a lot of gibber, Melanchon right now is saying that he wants the entire French government to step down, that the French people have voted to reject Macron.
It's time to step down.
I'm ready to assume the role of prime minister.
It's not going to fucking happen, though, not in a million years.
He's saying publicly that he wants it to happen, but it's not going to happen short of an actual revolution.
It's not going to happen.
So, Melanchon is going to be sidelined.
The center is going to try and sideline Melanchon and promote the absolute worst, the absolute worst fucking ghouls in this coalition, like that Gluckman, who's a literal CIA agent who is to the right of Macron.
Actually, those are the people that are going to be.
Um, you know, you need to understand how the French system works.
All right, so I'll show you some something right here.
By the way, before we get into that.
And I'm explaining to you how this in no way could lead to a victory for any like left-wing politics at all.
I want to just to point to the idiocy of pan-leftist understanding of class dynamics.
Look how hilarious this is.
Among self-employed people, it's actually the pan-left coalition that won the petite bourgeoisie.
There goes the Trotskyite analysis of fascism, which holds that the class base of fascism is the petite bourgeoisie.
But look at it.
The plurality of self-employed people are for the so-called leftists.
Unbelievable.
Isn't that interesting?
Among uh employees in general, guess who gets the plurality?
The far right.
So th so among the petite bourgeoisie, quote unquote, the uh the panleftists actually get a plurality.
How funny is that?
And look at this.
Uh it's such a hallmark of working class status to have over three years of education, by the way.
And and having no education is a sign of being bourgeois, right?
I'm not saying this to praise the far right, it's the exact opposite.
The far right is the enemy.
The far right are the people who are going to turbocharge the NATO agenda if they get what they want.
I I that needs to be avoided.
I completely think that that should be avoided.
Why am I so against the far right, by the way?
Because they're controlled opposition.
The far right are exactly who Macron wants and who he's gonna get, by the way, as the opposition.
I mean, look, if Melanchon has the balls to cause a ruckus in the French government for a year until the next elections, because by according to their laws, they have to wait a year to have another election.
But if Melanchon has the balls.
To basically say no, I'm not going to fall in line with this panleftist coalition, I'm not going to submit to having a uh the Socialist Party guy or Glucksman, whatever, be appointed Prime Minister, I'm not going to tolerate that, I'm not going to compromise, he can shut down the French Parliament and render it inoperable.
Through no confidence votes.
I mean, that would be brilliant and beautiful.
And that really is what Macron's nightmare is.
But Macron is fine taming the left and having the right as the permanent controlled opposition.
Because when the center only has to compromise with the right, they're fine with that.
All they have to do.
Is compromise on some immigration stuff, some cultural stuff?
They're fine with doing that.
And then the neoliberal economic agenda can be passed unimpeded.
So they're completely fine with this fake opposition that's the far right.
It's that dynamic that only a real left wing can upset.
But look, but the left wing that we see here is not going to be able to do it, not in the form of this so-called coalition, okay?
This so-called popular front.
It's not what it is, by the way.
So let me show you this article, all right.
Can the NFP hope to form a government?
So.
So look at this.
He demanded Macron appoint a prime minister from the alliance and implement all of its program.
It's not gonna happen, by the way.
Um
But the other people in his coalition that are not him are saying, No, we're going to have to negotiate.
So he can Macron can choose anyone he wants as Prime Minister.
So why would he choose Melanchon?
He's not going to do it.
But look at this: Parliament can force the resignation of the government.
So the head of state has to choose someone who will be acceptable to the Assembly.
Melanchon does not have a majority in the Assembly.
So even if Melanchon.
resists it and renders the government uh to more or less a degree inoperable, he is not powerful enough to overthrow the current government.
You know, he's stuck within this horrible popular front, which is either going to make it that he has to completely sell out, or he's going to be sidelined.
Appointing a radical left prime minister would run risk of a repeated no-confidence votes, not backed by the see, Melanchon is in the minority.
They've only won this plurality that they did because he made a deal with the devil and entered into a coalition with actual CIA NATO ghouls.
Okay, by the way, this isn't purity politics, it's basic pragmatism.
If we want to believe that Melanchon is qualitatively different from all these other people, that's fine, but like, how is he going to use them to his advantage?
Think about it strategically.
I don't care about purity politics, I care about pragmatic, effective strategy.
How is Melanchon going to assert the supremacy of his program when these are his allies?
How is he going to fight for them?
What's going to stop Macron from just taking out the Greens and the Socialists and these other people in the coalition and forming a government with them with a slim majority and totally sidelining the far left?
What is going to stop him from doing that?
I would love to hear how he can be stopped from doing that.
All that happened, all that happened, all that happened here was that they stopped the far right.
That's all that, and that sounds great, right?
But the far right isn't what has been in power in France for the last decade, the last few decades.
Le Pen has never seen power.
It's Macron who's in power, okay?
It's it's France which is threatening to start World War III and send troops to Ukraine.
It's France that is accelerating NATO's imperialism.
It's France that is enforcing America's unipolar hegemony.
It's France today under Macron.
That is doing all these things.
Why do people think the status quo is preferable to anything else, to compromising your own integrity?
They're so scared of the far right.
Why are you scared of them?
Why can't you do a self-criticism and ask yourself the question of how it has got to the point where they have gotten as popular as they have?
Maybe it's because you're out of touch.
You know, the idea that this pan-leftist victory proves that no, no, no, there's still a radical left that's viable.
No, there isn't because upon basic scrutiny, it's not a real coalition.
They don't actually agree on anything when it comes to any positive program, any kind of positive position.
And if they do agree on that, then Melanchon is literally a NATO CIA sellout bastard who is, I mean, Melanchon, by the way, condemns Russia.
You know, he considers Putin a dictator.
He condemns China in some regards.
But on all these issues, I'm not a purity fetishist.
So on all these issues, he's marginally better than everyone else.
And I can give him that credit.
But there's people in his coalition that are even fucking worse than Macron is.
Imagine that.
Okay?
So tell me uh all this all this has done is dupe the French working classes into entering a class collaborationist alliance with class enemies who are aligned with NATO imperialism.
And selling them out on a silver platter to the center, giving Macron the majority that he needs.
That's all that they're doing.
They're taking people that would otherwise go to the far right and giving them to Macron.
In 2027, when France's situation doesn't improve because it's not going to improve, what do you think is going to happen?
All of those working class left-wing people who put their faith in Melanchan and his pop so-called Popular Front, which is going to fail.
Their dissatisfaction and discontent is just going to increase.
And you want proof that this is the central driving dynamic?
I mean, look how incredible this is.
I mean, this is fascinating.
This is actually fascinating.
life satisfaction.
Those who are very satisfied with their lives in other words, those who are not experiencing discontent with the system supported this panleftist coalition even more than they did the center.
So those who are not at all satisfied, a a total majority of them go to the far right.
Why isn't shouldn't isn't the left wing supposed to be the revolutionary ones who represent all of the people discontented with the system?
Isn't that who they're supposed to represent?
Look at this, social background, the disadvantaged.
I mean this is all vague, we don't know how they define this.
But among the upper class, a plurality goes to the so-called left-wing.
Among the disadvantaged, a majority.
Goes to the far right.
Among the working class, plurality, far right, lower middle class, plurality, far right, upper middle class.
Uh neck and neck.
And then, upper class, look at this.
How incredible is that?
Look at how incredible that is.
Look, look, look at this.
Lives on savings and are in debt.
Almost a majority of them are going to the far right.
Where does this idea that the far right's basis is in the privileged petite bourgeoisie come from when an overwhelming plurality, 46% of people who live on savings or are in debt, went over to the far right?
This is an absolute ticking time bomb and a disaster.
Anyone who's celebrating this victory is very misinformed.
This is a disastrous situation.
I'm not celebrating it.
I'm telling left-wingers in France, get your shit together because you're sitting on a ticking time bomb.
The French left is going to be totally fucking destroyed.
They are losing their basis in the working class.
They're losing their basis in the working class and they're losing their independent platform.
All they're doing is sheepdogging people back into the center from Akron.
And look, you wanna know what's gonna happen?
See,
These blue-collar workers and white-collar workers, right, who still support the left wing, well, guess what's going to happen?
They are going to become more dissatisfied.
And if these tendencies are anything to go off of, that's going to put them into the arms of the far right because their situation is not going to improve.
Okay, these people, this 29% of people who live on savings and are in debt, who are still banking on their hopes on the left wing, they're going to be disappointed by the betrayal of Melanchon and of the pan-leftist coalition, and they're going to go to the far right.
And the center doesn't have to worry because look at this: only 10% of people who live on savings and are in debt are with the center.
So understand this dynamic.
Understand this dynamic.
You know, Le Pen will very much emerge strongly out of this in 2027.
There is no doubt about it whatsoever.
Macron played a trick to prevent an absolute parliamentary majority of the far right.
That's the only reason they haven't won.
Because it's so brilliant.
What he did is that he basically tricked Melanchon into delivering him the entirety of the left that he could tame and domesticate and use to prevent a majority for the far right.
And Macron is fine keeping the far right in a state of permanent opposition because when Macron's only political challengers are the far right, the ruling class agenda gets to get implemented much more smoothly and much more in a way that's unabated than it otherwise would.
By the way, in the last rounds of the election, Macron and this so-called popular front literally colluded to pull 200, over 200 candidates to ensure that the select, the best winner could win to prevent the far right.
And not just prevent the far right, but get this, prevent Melanchon and his party from getting a victory.
So how incredible is that?
Melanchon is going to get the short end of the stick.
He's going to be totally sidelined.
And all of these scumbags he's decided to enter into an alliance with are going to get the lion's share.
That is the situation in France.
And you know what?
Yeah, Macron is fucking brilliant.
I mean, think about the five D chess he was waging.
Macron, listen, Macron.
Is gonna appoint some center left or center right guy who everyone listen, it's basic game theory.
Do I have to do Microsoft Paint?
Do I have to do Microsoft Paint?
It's basic game theory, right?
I don't know how to represent this.
Um
Okay, why is the paint not showing up?
Paint.
It's basic game theory, all right?
So
If you
If you
care most about
Preventing far right.
Guess what?
If this is the thing you care the most about, um
It's basic game theory, alright?
You care most about preventing the far right from getting into power, right?
Then guess what?
When it's time to compromise, when it's time to compromise.
I don't know, this is like a bad chart.
I don't know, this is this is not like literal how game theory is represented, but it's just like logic, right?
When it's time to compromise, you will be fine settling with a lesser evil center
Right.
Politics to stop the far right, right?
So, this is what's going to happen.
There's so much leverage.
The fact, see, look.
The f the fact that this pan leftist united front was formed solely on this basis proves they will settle for this when push comes to shove.
Look,
It's basic game theory, guys.
It's basic game theory, okay?
Let me show you what I'm talking about.
Well, so on this basis, right, proves they will settle for this.
when push comes to shove.
All right.
So if all if the thing you care about most is just preventing the far right and your whole political coalition was formed on the basis of doing this, why aren't you going to compromise
And basically settle for whatever center right or center left candidate Macron chooses to be prime minister.
Why won't you compromise?
You know, the one thing you can you see the one thing you can maybe hope is that the stuff about the neoliberal reforms and the pensions and stuff, maybe, maybe, maybe Macron will compromise a little on that stuff to appease the left wing.
But you know what he's not going to compromise on?
Foreign policy.
He's not going to compromise on Israel.
He's not going to compromise on Taiwan.
He's maybe China it'll be different because Macron isn't as much of an enemy of China as the United States is, but maybe he's n uh, he's not going to compromise on Ukraine.
So even in the odd event that the popular front, you know, makes Macron concede and and and uh
Throw some breadcrumbs in terms of social welfare policies.
You want to know what that is?
It's social fascism.
It's social fascism because the war policy and the imperialist status quo isn't challenged.
You know, even Hitler made some concessions to the social democratic sentiments of the German working class.
Okay, that is that doesn't negle that doesn't make him left-wing because fascism was about the militaristic and aggressive foreign policy of war.
You know, that's what it was when push came to shove.
So they these panleftist scumbags have the audacity to call us social patriots and social chauvinists, but do you wanna fucking know what social chauvinism and social patriotism actually fucking meant when Lenin used those terms?
He was literally talking about this.
He was talking about people who wanted some fucking social democratic welfare at home while supporting the fucking imperial war agenda abroad for World War One.
It's not fucking people who are a little bit culturally conservative.
It's people who fucking opportunistically sold out to the fucking establishment, sold out to the hegemony, and sold out to the fucking state and the status quo and what was then the fucking equivalent of NATO.
In the name of getting some fucking socialistic concessions.
That's social chauvinism.
That's social patriotism.
Not your fucking views about culture and y the degree of cultural conservatism you have.
Why do I have to yell this to get this fucking point across?
If you support NATO, if you support Ukraine, I don't give a fuck how much welfare bullshit you're advocating for.
You are a fucking social chauvinist and a shill.
The primary contradiction is imperialism.
Nothing else.
Nothing else.
It's imperialism.
If you stand against NATO, that's the only thing that could make any of your socialistic views legitimate.
You are no different than Adolf Hitler or the National Socialist fascist nonsense if you're not an anti-imperialist.
Principled anti-imperialism is the only legitimate foundation and basis of left-wing economic proposals.
Without that, you are fucking Adolf Hitler.
You are a fucking NATO shill who's sitting here and telling us, oh well, well, what what are you fucking saying?
This is crazy.
This pan-leftist coalition, all of them agree that they want to send more weapons to Ukraine.
Why is that not a fucking red line?
Why is transgenderism the red line?
Oh, if you're transphobic, then fuck you, you're a fascist, and there's nothing we could do to work with you.
But if you want to send more guns to Ukrainian Nazis to fucking slaughter children and civilians, that's not a red line.
That's when you stop purity testing.
It's fucking priorities.
How crazy is that?
How fucking crazy is that?
You're not gonna work with people who have different cultural views than you, even though we're willing to do it by the way, but you will work with actual fucking Hitlerite social imperialists.
You will actually fucking work with Hitlerites like Glucksman, who's a fucking CIA agent, who's fucking helping out literal neo-Nazis in Ukraine and all these color revolutions and in Georgia, who's literally tied up with all that shit.
I'm gonna go ahead and say this.
Le Pen is way better than that Glucksman guy.
Way way better.
Melanjan is better than Le Pen, but you want to talk about lesser of two evils?
When it comes to the lesser of two evils, Le Pen is way better than that fucking freak, Uyghur genocide, uh, libel spreading piece of shit, Glucksman.
Okay?
And by the way, I hate Le Pen, but you want to play this game of who's the lesser of two evils, it's definitely, you know, it's definitely not Glucksman, who's a literal fucking Hitlerite ghoul.
Like, holy shit, why do I even need to say this?
Yeah, when you support a policy by your government to go bomb and destroy other nations and oppress other people abroad, that's more material than some bullshit about immigration.
And you want to know what?
I am not.
I think anti-immigration sentiment is deeply, deeply misguided.
Okay?
In terms of the racial racism that is being cultivated and the far right is thriving off of, I totally reject it.
But simultaneously and at the same time,
Why are you so terrified of anti immigration laws and reforms being passed to the point where you're going to compromise all your principles and work with literal pro NATO ghouls?
Anti-immigration policy is not fascist by nature.
Okay, is it demagogic?
Yeah, is it, you know, does a lot of it stem from backwardness?
Maybe, but that's not what defines fascism, okay?
And by the way, let me tell you something about France.
You know, to me it's it's first of all
It's really interesting how
The class dynamic of how mass immigration is used as a tool to destroy the organized power of labor totally is missing from the discourse in French politics and in Western politics.
I find that really interesting because that's actually
That's actually its functional purpose, is to destroy the organized power of labor, which is what Marx talked about.
So first of all, if you are actually a left-winger, you should not be in favor of mass immigration.
There's nothing wrong with wanting to restrict immigration to a more...
It's always been the policy of labor throughout all of history to support more restrictions on importation of cheap labor.
While Marx...
rejected anti-immigrant demagoguery used to divide the working class, meaning the ones that are already here, you know, you don't want to divide your working class and have them fight each other because that's how the capitalist wins.
But when it came to importing more, the policy of pro-labor parties has always been, socialist, communist parties has always been to oppose it.
They've always opposed attempts to suppress the wages and the organized power of the working class.
The unions have always opposed it.
Labor has always opposed it.
That has always been the left wing position.
So why why is it so taboo now to even talk about it?
And by the way, you know
So I'm not even saying mass migration is what we should focus on.
I'm saying why is it so scary to you for political forces that are pretty much solely based on opposing mass migration winning?
Why are you so terrified of it to the point where you're going to sell out all your principles?
You know, Le Pen is not Hitler.
You want to know who's Hitler?
That fucking Glucksman ghoul.
That's Hitler.
Okay, Hitler is pro-NATO today.
Hitler is supporting NATO's agenda.
Hitler wants militarization.
Hitler supports imperialism.
Hitler supports CFAC.
Hitler is not a guy who says mean things about transgenders.
That's not what defines Hitler today.
I'm sorry to burst your fucking bubble.
In the 80s, the French Communist Party was anti-mass immigration.
I guess that was its fascist phrase, and now it's come to the light of true leftism.
Delivering to Macron and the bourgeoisie, the literal bourgeoisie, what remains of the working class bastions and strongholds of the left on a silver platter to Macron and the bourgeoisie.
That's what they're fucking done with this sham, cynical popular front.
It's not a popular front.
A real popular front is rooted in a concrete anti-hegemony, anti-monopoly strategy.
This is the opposite of that.
This is a scam that's being used very cynically to exploit the hopes of what remains of the working classes in France who still have faith in left-wing economics to exploit their hopes to deliver them on a silver platter to their rotten and corrupt center.
That's what this fucking is.
I want Melanchon to prove me wrong.
Let me continue to emphasize that.
I want Melanchon to continue to be principled and walk the walk, not just talk the talk.
He's talking a lot right now.
But in the coming weeks, when Macron decides to appoint his Prime Minister,
Melanton is going to realize the program that he agreed to pass, which includes more aid to Ukraine, by the way, but that was a compromise he made.
It's literal social patriotism, by the way.
But he's going to realize their program isn't going to pass.
And you want to know what's going to actually happen?
Well, I'll give it to you straight from the horse's mouth.
I'll give it to you straight from the horse's mouth as far as what's actually going to happen.
All right.
Here, straight from the horse's mouth.
You ready?
Unlike many continental European countries, France has no experience in broad coalitions.
The former Prime Minister, long standing Macron ally and Greens leader so already the coalition is cracking,
We were among those to say last week that an anti-far-right coalition from the moderate left to the center-right could unite around a basic legislative program.
What this is literally just the victory of the center.
This is literally the Chud Jack meme of nothing changes.
That's all this is.
There you go.
Everyone compromises one unanimous consensus to make sure the really bad far right doesn't win.
But otherwise, we're just going to continue the fucking status quo.
And by the way, this time, no one's going to be accountable for it.
Game theoretically, this is a fucking disaster.
I will take a bullet before I stop fighting against this possibility emerging in the US.
Think about it, game theoretically.
Think about it.
All right?
Think about this for a fucking second.
No one will be accountable for the inevitable mass discontent and economic discontent and suffering of the French people in the next three years.
No one's gonna, in the next year at least, until they can have another election, if someone has the balls to challenge this.
Nobody is gonna be accountable.
You want to know why?
Because they're all gonna say, Well, we have to compromise because the alternative is the far right.
Yeah, things are spiraling into total shit and everyone hates it and it sucks, right?
And we're gonna go in World War III, but the alternative is the far right and fascism, quote unquote.
So we're not gonna be accountable for it.
And secondly, we're also not gonna be accountable for it because this is a compromise.
Oh, I'm a left-winger, you know.
If I had my way, this is how it would be.
But I had to compromise with the center right in order to stop the far right.
And oh, I'm someone on the right, the center right, and if I had my way, this is how it would be.
But I had to compromise with the center left.
You see, they're gonna fucking play a game of hot potato with accountability and responsibility because of this fucking compromise, this centrist compromise that they're enforcing.
Fancy imagine that.
Imagine that.
And some people are lauding this as a victory.
It's fucking ridiculous.
It's fucking ridiculous.
Think about that.
How is it a victory?
Think logically.
Think logically for a second.
Look at this.
We are in a divided assembly.
We have to behave like adults, said Glucksman.
Literally Adolf the Francis Adolf Hitler, Raphael Glucksman, says we have to behave like adults.
Parliament must be the heart of it's just the center.
It's literally just Macron.
Macron is literally a centrist who's saying, oh, the center left and the center right come together.
And that's what the center is.
And that's what the outcome of this election amounts to.
I want someone to explain to me how tangibly this could even lead to a marginal, a marginal victory for France's left wing in the form of Melanchon.
How is Melanchon going to have any leverage?
Like from a game theoretic perspective, where is Melanchon's leverage?
How is he going to not just end up as someone mark?
I mean, look.
You want to know what fucking sucks?
Okay.
You want to know what really sucks?
The far right is already making Melanchon the scapegoat.
They're already these cowards and scumbags.
By the way, because I have smoke for the far right too, if you didn't know that.
Apistate, what's up?
If you don't know that, I have smoke for the cowardly, cuck-old far-right as well.
And they're already making Melanchon the boogeyman.
All these fucking right-wing cuckservatives on X and on Twitter.
They're all oh, the communists have won in France.
Oh my God, spooky, scary Melanchon has, so they're all fucking uniting against Melanchon.
Everyone's uniting against them.
Macron, the far right, and the center left, which is inevitably going to throw him under the fucking bus.
In order to scare the electorate and fear monger and create a boogeyman, the far-right leaders.
Who's that guy with name sounds uh uh starts with a B?
What's his fucking name?
The R N guy, I think, right?
Yeah.
He's already saying this is a victory for Melanchon.
Even though he knows it's not true, he's saying that for a reason.
Because all of them plan to sideline and fuck Melanchon over.
And you know what?
I don't, Bardella, I don't give a shit about Melanchon.
I think he's a coward for how he behaved in 2022.
But I do care about what little remains of his significant minority working class base, who, as a consequence of Melanchon getting so much fucked over, it's over for the left in France.
I hate to say it.
It's over for them.
Like it's fucking over.
You know?
It's so over.
Like, yeah, this is the Chudjack moment of it's so over.
And I'm the only person who has the foresight and the long-term thinking to say this because the knee-jerk reaction, like all these idiots on Twitter, ew, this is so great.
Okay.
But I don't.
That's not my.
I don't.
I don't live by the moment.
I live by.
An expecta a reasonable expectation of what's gonna actually happen in the long term.
And what's gonna happen in the long term is the destruction of the French left wing as we know it.
And you know what?
Maybe that's a good thing.
Europe is doing Hegelian dialectics, changing definitions, and using immigrants to increase S synthesis.
Thank you, Infowars.
Listen, maybe it's a good thing.
Maybe it's a good thing.
You wanna know why?
You know, the left wing originated in France, but also pan-leftism originated in France.
It's called, what is it called?
Gauch gauchism.
I don't know.
Let me look it up to pronounce it.
Gauchismo.
Wait, is that how you say it?
Gotches me.
Uh is that what is it?
How do I say it?
In the 20th century, in the post-war period of the 20th century, this became a kind of pan-leftist ideology that was based around a contemplation over the legacy of the historical left wing and an ideology based on totalizing the history of the left wing into one amalgamated kind of ideology, right?
And that actually originated in France.
And you know what?
It's gonna die in France.
Panleftism was born in France and it's gonna die in France.
Because right now panleftism is on trial.
And you know what?
If it fails and it's totally you know it's exposed for exactly what it is, I hope that's going to be a clarifying lesson and a teachable moment.
to genuine and sincere left wingers around the world.
Yeah.
That pan left see, when we say that we are Marxist-Leninists only, it's not because we're dogmatic, it's not because we are ideological purists, it's because time and time again it continues to be proven that Marxism-Leninism alone
Is the only revolutionary immortal science.
It's the thing that is decisive and actually makes or breaks.
The success of the working class.
It's decisive.
Marxism-Leninism is decisive.
And it's precisely what's missing here in French politics and in American politics and all of the politics in the Western world for that matter.
Now, you know, um another surprising defeat
was George Galloway, who lost by two thousand votes to Labour,
in Rochedale and
We should draw lessons from that failure as well.
Because
If you remember what happened, Galloway won the first time, and then Rishi Sunak, fuck it, deport that fucking guy.
Deport that fucking guy.
I don't give a fuck if I sound racist.
I fucking hate him so much.
I genuinely hate him.
He put a hit out for Galloway and said that he's we have to do everything we can to stop Galloway.
So everyone works with the Labor Party to fuck Galloway over.
And by a slim 2,000 vote margin, they fucked Galloway over.
Everyone, literally, everyone conspired against him.
So-called English leftists, the center, the far right, everyone fucked over Galloway.
And you know, we can rage and cry and hue about it, but we should draw concrete lessons from it.
Yeah.
Because in Rochdale, Labor lost.
Compared to their last, like a lot of votes.
A lot of votes.
All of Labor's votes were lost to two political forces in Rochdale.
Yeah, yeah.
There's there's a
Pan leftists were celebrating Galloway's defeat.
Okay, well let me calmly say something.
In Rochdale, Labor lost the bulk of its Labor used to have an absolute majority in Rochdale, and their vote was lost to two forces, okay?
Only two forces, Galloway and Nigel Farage's party.
So so what's going to happen next time if Galloway's not there?
What happens if all of Galloway's voters go to the far right?
Same thing that's going to happen in France.
But by the way, you know
Do I think it's possible and plausible that they straight up just rigged that vote?
Labor literally had no votes the first time.
And then the second round?
What the fuck happened with the Galloway vote?
Think about it.
Look at Labor's performance in the first and the second.
Roachdale.
Look.
This is kind of glowy, isn't it?
How the fuck does this happen?
Uh so 29th of February, here's Galloway who gets twelve thousand votes and here's Labor who gets twenty four hundred votes.
Look at this, okay?
Look at this.
How does this fucking happen?
Let me find it.
Let me find the chart.
Lawn City, by the way, I don't know if it was the first round or second round.
It was something, I don't know, it's fucking weird politics they have.
But let me find.
Yeah, here we go.
It's the by-election.
All right.
No.
In the general, okay, so by-election versus the general election.
All right.
Stralistani, what's going on?
So look at this.
Galloway wins 12,000.
Labor gets 2,400.
Okay?
And the general election.
Let me find it.
Um Galloway.
I need the photo of it to show you how fucking weird it is.
Ah, but I can't find it.
Give me a second.
Here we go.
Wait.
Huh.
Okay, look how fucking weird this is.
All right, check this out.
Labor goes from getting a tiny minority of the vote and then in the full results of the general election, thirteen thousand for labor.
It goes from twenty four hundred to thirteen thousand.
What the fuck is going on?
What the fuck is going on?
How crazy is that?
How crazy is that?
So, what happened?
What do they even propose what happened here?
No, they just they just try to dirty the mud and dirty the wa they try to talk about bullshit from that you know that makes George Galloway an enemy of the establishment.
Wow, within 1500 votes.
Yeah, you know, I'm gonna just say that shit was rigged.
Like that, that shit was rigged.
You don't go from this in a matter of what changed, you know, in a matter of months from 2400.
And I get the turnout is not as high in the by-election, but you know, I heard a thing.
First of all, there's a few things.
One of the things I heard, pretty crazy.
From people on the ground is that they redrew the districts or the way that b c shit was collected for Rochdale that fucked over Galloway intentionally.
So they redrew the district intentionally and purposefully to fuck Galloway over.
Then I've heard unsubstantiated speculation
Which is credible because there's precedent for it.
I've heard some whispers.
I can't say it 'cause, you know, I I don't have direct proof, but I but I trust the people who told me.
Apparently labor has this corrupt um
corrupt like uh network where they can pull community leaders from migrants in return for like giving their family members green cards and shit.
Like people who are like from Pakistan or Bangladesh or some shit.
Who like want family members to come over to the UK but can't.
I is someone told me that, but they didn't give me any proof, so I can't really say it's real.
But it wouldn't surp because labor does that kind of shit, you know.
But um
Yeah.
But like anyone who any pan left is gloating over this, it's like, okay, well, there wasn't a a a real left winger who won instead of Galloway.
It was a slim victory of the center.
Why is that worth celebrating?
You know, how fucking pissed off are you guys about the people who are like, oh, Galloway's just a social democrat.
Even though his policies are more radical than Melanchon's, and yet, because of the difference of their cultural views, they're like, Yeah, Melanchon is fine.
Don't be a, don't, don't purity test him.
Even though Melanchon is like a social democrat as well, or whatever, by their logic.
It's just pretty fucking disgusting.
Not because I care about the fickle details of domestic policy.
That much, but the foreign policy is just, it kills me.
Galloway is an anti-NATO candidate, wants Britain to be pulled out of NATO.
Okay.
And Melenchon decided to enter into a coalition with Adolph Gluxman Hitler, Glucksman with three Ks, and that's not a red line, and that's fine.
But it's a red line for Galloway.
But it's it's not a red line to support NATO.
And by the way, this is a very transient victory in coalition.
Because like I said, the only reason it was possible was because of the class collaboration strategy of duping what remains of the left's working class base
Into joining this coalition with um
Put it this way.
The French working class, if it was united, would blow the fuck out of everyone out of the water.
If the French working classes were united,
into one political party or one political popular front or one thing,
Nobody would stand a chance.
They would have an absolute dominance, okay?
But they're divided in a very specific and meticulous way.
The majority of them are with the far right, but a significant minority are still with the hard left.
So, what happened is the hard left sold out that portion of the working class to the center, delivering them the edge that they needed to ensure that the far right remains a minority.
So that they could be in a state of convenient opposition, which is what Macron prefers.
So yeah, there you go.
Yeah, and the stuff going on in Iran, it's like a lot of bad things have been happening.
With Pazeshkian, yeah, paying off village leaders to endorse him.
Inactive voters voted for him 'cause they got broobed.
If you don't know what happened in Iran, it's so tragic and bad, okay?
In Iran, Jalili was literally a barefoot peasant populist, loved by the common people of Iran, and that's it.
He had no friends in high places.
None of the p rich and the powerful liked him.
So everyone conspired to fuck him over too.
Very, very sad.
Anyway, um
We have very important news coming out of the CPU SA.
Because
Give me a second.
Um
Let me uh
Let me let me make a quick
Alright, um, remember that CPUSA petition that I told you about that was, uh, you know.
That was really reinvigorating people within the party to adopt a principled communist stance once again?
Well,
You're not going to believe this.
It's crazy that we pulled this off.
But the originator of that petition just so happens
To be someone who was open to coming on stream to talk to me.
How crazy is that?
The guy who made that petition.
has been hearing the infrared message, they've been hearing what we've been our commentary and our analysis, and their direct experience organizing within the party, they feel like it it confirms it.
And we are the ones who are giving the most
We are the ones who are empowering that voice within the party the most.
But I'll let him speak for himself.
Um
Marcello.
Uh hello?
Hi, how's it going?
Um
I uh
Um thanks for uh having me on.
Um this is uh maybe the strangest um I've I'm not a big discord user.
This is the strangest um anyway uh I yeah, I think you may you may get in big trouble over this oh it's it's already over I'm I'm I'm not in the party you've got purged you said yeah wow when did that happen?
Um, I think um basically yesterday um they cut off all communications with me and a lot of people have been saying that's what's happened.
Um so if you guys don't know this one of the things they'll do is that what the only way to be in the loop about party meetings and commun and stuff is like you're in this group chat they have is it what is it a WhatsApp or something?
I don't know.
Yeah.
It's different for each yeah they all use different mediums.
And basically when you get kicked out of that, it's illegal and it's unconstitutional, but you're just out of the party.
It's like the equivalent of expelling you.
So you're saying that what about what club are you from?
I'm from the Oakland Club of Northern California.
And is that what's the status of that club?
Um it's it is still functional um because it uh it didn't support the petition.
Um in fact, uh they uh I got um to meet Joe Sims himself uh along with uh several other national committee members who um sat there and it uh interrogated me uh sort of so to speak.
They berated me said I need to support Democrats and things like that, which I don't
Um oh, Kyle messaged me to say you should bring him in.
Um okay, but uh they
Interrogated me, they said I should support Democrats, um and they said that the petition was factional.
Now
I don't agree that we should be supporting Democrats, obviously, but I I didn't frame the petition in that way.
And there were a lot of different there's a lot of different feelings on the floor about why we should not be endorsing Biden, and none of those were heard at the convention.
And so that was the real point of the petition.
So tell me, did they give you any reason for expelling you?
No, they didn't c th it's just the end of communication.
This has happened all over the place with a whole bunch of different people.
So the Connecticut Club, which by the way has officially been purged, they demanded a trial.
Yeah, they they demanded a trial.
And they were the only club who received a trial.
Um I think I b I believe that after so I sent some emails.
Um I can link them uh somewhere maybe in your in your chat here so people can read them.
Um but after my first email where I called them out on Connectique, uh
They uh I believe they decided to take a different tact.
Um
And especially when um uh
My friend down in I have I have a friend down in Southern California.
When he was
Shut down.
So he was in Rosanna's club.
Apparently, they, I mean, they were able to get Rosanna's club to sign on.
And so.
Wait, wait, wait.
Get you on.
So you guys got Rosanna's club to sign the petition.
Yeah, they did.
Yeah.
And what was Rosanna's response to that?
Because they purged those.
I think they purged quite a big chunk of her club, in addition to recently the Ventura Club, which was totally purged.
They signed on immediately.
Yeah.
Yeah, actually, that happened, what, yesterday or today?
Was it?
Yeah, it was yesterday.
So that's totally unconstitutional, correct?
100%.
Let me send the emails.
I can read it out as well.
Yeah, just read them out for purposes of safe.
It's basically the whole Constitution was broken at one point or another.
Article 2, Section 1 in the Communist Party, all decisions are arrived at through Democratic procedures, emphasizing the maximum input from members.
You use the strongest weapon, right?
Obviously broken at the, you know, they shut down all communication.
You're not allowed to communicate a clock across clubs.
There's actually, okay, Article 2, Section 3, decisions in all party bodies arrived at by majority vote or by consensus.
And district meetings, unless anyone requests a vote, decisions of leading committees on major questions will be reported on.
So they were deferring the controversial, you know, they deferred the resolution to the incoming national committee.
Yeah, which is which they appointed directly.
Which is them.
Yeah.
I mean, and the insanity that happened at the national convention to maybe, I don't know what people know.
I know that there have been leaks about all this.
So I think it makes the most sense since this all originates with you with the petition and stuff and you were obviously at the convention as a delegate.
I think it would make sense to kind of go over that how that process all took place, like how you were able to pull off this petition and everything like that.
And kind of set out the timeline, because I don't know if everybody watching is how did what inspired you to do this and how did you do it?
Um, so after uh the second so the second day of the convention is when um when resolution five uh came out and uh
And it was such an obvious travesty, um, total uh destruction of the uh democratic institution that we're supposed you know, the democratic centralism that we're supposed to uphold that you know, I just I went back uh to the room they gave me and I wrote a whole bunch of stuff down.
I was writing some stuff down at um at the table, but I didn't really do anything with it um until I got back.
Well, I didn't go home, but uh when I was um
'Cause I I'm I was on vacation while all this was happening.
Um but when I was uh when I was on vacation I got um contacted by um some comrades from uh the uh San Jose Club c who uh I had met through the conventions and and so forth.
Um
And they uh said that they wanted to you know
do something right they wanted to
He you know, they didn't want to like let it go.
And that they wanted to put something together, that they had actually voted in their club to um
To fish out and see what was going on.
So I decided, like, oh, who is it that I can?
I don't know.
I just kind of in the back of my head, I remember this guy I had talked to, a friend from Southern California, and I sent him a message because, you know, I had wrote up a whole bunch of stuff.
I put it together.
It was kind of the skeleton of the petition that eventually came out.
And then my friend sent me over to the Ventura Club.
And the Ventura Club
Um helped me put it together and they were the first.
So, what I'm gonna guess is that what happened, this is what I've been hearing myself from my friends, you know, in the party, is that
over the past few you know, weeks they've just been purging people left and right who sign on to this position and try to spread it.
And they finally purged you, basically.
Yeah, and I think that, um
Yeah.
Well, let me ask you a question.
Given how much the party has slandered me, what has made you come around to be open and maybe interested in, you know, coming on the stream?
Is it just you want to share it with more audiences?
Or was, yeah, is there anything about infrared or what we're doing over here that, you know, in relation to the party especially that because you know, our whole thing is the party's been immobilized and you know, it's a dead-end strategy.
And the strategy we propose is for the party to reestablish contact with the working class, not to vote for Trump and support Republicans, just initiate a new dialogue with the American working class.
And
You know, we've been labeled a lot of things by not just the party leadership, but, you know
Other kinds of so and and to the point where like just talking to me will really get you canceled and ostracized.
So, what what made you t see the light, I guess, you know, is a question I'd be interested in.
Um, well, to to be honest, I don't really know much.
Um, I'm not I'm not a big uh after twenty twenty I was done with um internet politics.
I th I thought it was all um a waste of time.
Um, all the Hakeems or whoever, like all these people who just talk about the same, like, four lines from Lenin or whatever.
Um
So I don't really know.
I do I was informed about you that you know I was a little hesitant to come on to be to be honest, but Kyle talked me into it.
Because I don't know.
I didn't know Kyle.
Um, well, I found out about the Midwestern marks um call out and um okay one of the one of the people I met at the convention um went on there and
Yeah, and they can get him to agree to come on to both of us talking to him over here in IgG because obviously he's been in the CPUSA for so long.
All he's ever heard is just complete slander and lies about Midwestern marks, about IgG and everything else like that.
But I kind of convinced him that we just want to get to the truth.
The party basically says that they have to support Democrats.
They said, you know, put the moralism aside, pragmatically, we have to support Democrats because the base for communist politics isn't out there yet.
And what do you think about that?
Do you think that's true in your experience?
I think it's horseshit.
I think that having talked to people like when I used to work in EPS,
And uh and things like that.
Like communism is a it is almost like a reflex for a lot of people.
It's just that it's not articulated um with the with the language.
Um
Uh and
Beyond that
But don't you but what would you say to the argument that like Americans are just too anti-communist and you know Democrats are marginally less hostile to it because they're further left on the spectrum, therefore we should push them and work with them to start out?
Like what would you say to that argument?
Because I know the leaders in the party just constantly use that and barrage their members and berate them with that argument.
I mean you I was watching the stream.
I mean you basically covered the
Dynamic a little bit, partially in the United States, where I mean, the Republicans are not a working-class party, but neither are the Democrats, right?
I mean, I don't know what, yeah, I mean, occasionally, Republicans do, in fact, on local levels, do things that help people, but does that mean that, like, we have to go full in on their, you know, like, or the same thing with Democrats too anti-communist, that's yeah, um, again, it's it's just about the articulation of it.
If people are
And especially now, right?
I mean, we're looking at a situation where we've got rapid inflation and all this kind of stuff.
So you're basically saying what would have to happen is that old guard and the leadership and communists themselves would have to go back to the drawing board as far as how they're presenting their message, basically, so that it could be articulated better.
Well, they after having talked with them, that's not.
That's never going to happen.
The old guard will never go back to the drawing board.
They don't want to do any self-criticism as far as the conclusions they've arrived at.
I mean, beyond that, I don't know if this has also been leaked, but there were clubs that brought Democrats as delegates.
Wow.
That's just a whole new level of defilement and debasement of a Communist Party.
That is just that is just profound.
Yeah.
This is the Democrats, the vanguard of the Democratic Party, if they can even claim to be anything.
Have you heard about Kamala Harris messaging them to tell them to fuck off, basically?
Yeah.
Can you give us more details about that?
I mean, all I know is that.
The con the party is like toxic.
It's an obvious toxic if you're a Democrat, you probably shouldn't you probably don't want the Communist Party endorsing the UK.
It's so fascinating to me.
I don't mean to cut you off, but it's like they claim that oh, this is because of you know the political spectrum and the Democrats are more left according to them.
But it's like, well, the Democrats have to really beat the charges to the Republicans that they're not communists.
And they really have to fight the charges that they're not communists.
So when the Communist Party is endorsing the Democrats, they're actually helping the Republicans because it makes the Democrats look bad.
And the only way you escape that is if you can surpass and overcome the false dialectic between Democrats and Republicans and you know
Um
Take away the edge that Republicans have as far as anti-communism.
But the leadership thinks that the only way to do that, to defeat the anti-communism of Republicans, is to just defeat them absolutely.
But that will never happen.
Why?
Because there's legitimate reasons why Americans don't like the Democrats.
And these reasons compel them to go with the Republicans because of the promise that Republicans make that they're more against the establishment and the status quo.
So it's like the problem is that, in my view, it's just that communists are not positioning themselves.
As against the status quo enough, they're they're too much hiding behind the very people that the working classes hate.
And it's like the Democrats don't want to identify with communists.
I mean, why would they?
The Democrats b because the anti-communism of the Republican base is rooted in an ignorance that the Democrats are also happy to reinforce, you know, and share the same premises.
It's like they consider communism it's like, oh, this is just like too much extremism of big government overreach against us, rather than like a a new dialogue and consciousness that's actually from the working classes themselves.
Yeah, I think in addition to that, it's just there is no actual sound strategy that empowers the Communist Party in any meaningful way through this alliance.
It's only for the benefit of the Democratic Party in the sense that they're going there I mean they're not only talking about telling their people to vote for the Democrats, they're telling their people to go out and campaign and like volunteer at the Biden headquarters to go out to the streets and door knock for the Democrats.
So it's like how in any way, shape or form does this empower the Communist Party as its own entity.
Let me go to some Microsoft paint here because I like visualizing this stuff.
So basically let's just paint the Republican.
And then let's paint a Democrat.
Oh, let's let's make them more apologetic.
So let's uh
How do I undo?
Fuck.
Alright, I guess we just gotta do this.
It's just like had their hands up, you know.
And then uh
Here you have the CPUSA, which is like
I want to make them have glasses.
Sorry if that's offensive or whatever.
Uh
So it's like this is the dynamic.
This is the silly dynamic.
And it's like, why this person is a why does this person have to be apologetic?
So like, why
Why does the Democrat have to avoid the charges?
Because they can because they cannot make communism palpable to the Republicans' own base.
Hence, they need
They need to compromise with them.
Like, think about it.
The reason they have to be apologetic and avoid this charge, you know, is because they can't.
Make communism or even think to make communism palpable to the Republicans' own base because.
What that would end up doing actually is undercutting the Democrats' own interests and their own agenda, right?
So in terms of the trade-off here, let's do like a trade-off.
In terms of the trade-off here, it's like the Democrats
Do not have any interest Dems have no interest in converting Republicans to communism.
They have no interest, right?
And as a matter of fact, that would actually be harmful to the Democrats' agenda.
Um
But why don't Communists, you know?
I think ultimately it also has to do with the fact that I think that the top leadership of the Communist Party has no actual interest in forwarding the agenda of a Communist Party.
I think that they only have an interest in continuing to be these sort of, as you said earlier, like sheepdogs to corral people with communist sentiments into supporting the Democrats.
I actually do fully believe that the top leadership of the CPSA is fully occupied by just small D Democrats, as Mr.
Sims likes to say.
Yeah, fully, I would say.
That yeah.
And what I experienced with regards to how the clubs work and how
This whole thing, um
And I put this in one of my emails, was that it's all just, I think I refer to it as a hall of mirrors to demoralize.
I was thinking about.
Honestly, the party is sort of more like a um
compost bin that you throw, you know, William Z.
Foster or Gus Hall or whoever else into and the worms of the National Committee just kind of ingest and turn them into fertilizer for the Democratic Party and then anyone else who is foolish enough to uh
Stumble into that trap.
Yeah.
Yeah, I think that's a very good point also is to highlight that the party at one point, like under Foster, was an actual party capable of many things.
And that sort of legacy has been completely destroyed towards the end of the Gus Hall period with this establishment of figures like Bach Tel Webb and Sims himself, as much as he likes to distance himself from that tendency.
And I think that that ultimately is just a complete betrayal of the legacy of the party and a legacy of Foster.
And if you were to say that there's any factionalism going on in the CPSA, as this petition movement is often called factional, it would really the real factionalism is the Sims click and the continuation of the Bachtel-Webb sort of liquidationist patterns of the CPUSA's top leadership for the past several decades.
Right, precisely.
Yeah.
Well anyway, Marcello, I hope uh
Are you still in contact and working with people in the C P S A now, or has that all come to an end?
Oh.
I do not know if anyone I'm in contact with has I don't I don't maybe one or two have not been purged, but I I'm pretty sure it it's pretty much all over now.
How how many purges do you
Um do you imagine?
Um well there's uh quite a number of people who have signed on.
Um so probably the
We could total it up to maybe
30-something individuals and a whole bunch of clubs.
But then, in addition, there would be conversations.
There are a few cases where people were kicked out for just talking about it.
So, I mean, who knows how many purges, right?
Yeah.
Something that I'm curious about, I know Colorado, Wyoming is signed onto the petition, and that's a rather large club, is it not?
I believe it's like around 50 members, something around there.
Is there any, like, what's going on there?
Because I haven't heard any specific purges happening yet.
So, do you have any sort of knowledge about what's going on?
I believe, oh, yeah, that would be the leader of the Colorado Wyoming Club, I believe, was removed, or like was demoted and is no longer the leader.
I don't know how that works exactly because it wasn't done by his the people under him.
Uh, so they removed him from.
uh group chats or something like that.
Said you're no longer the leader.
They just they just r went in and removed the club chair, like some sort of coup going on.
Something like that.
Is that like uh what, district committee, national committee?
Like who who's doing that?
Oh, it must have been the National Committee.
Um we were um he was actually defending me.
Um when when I was sending the emails out there were quite a number of attacks that he was uh defending me against, which I very much appreciate.
But I guess that's enough to get him removed as leader.
Alright, well I mean I I think we have a broad picture of what's going on.
And, you know, I I think it's fair to say the party has been usurped in a really unprecedented way as of that convention.
Now it seems like the crackdown has been fully underway.
The petition movement is is being crushed.
You yourself, the originator of the petition, have got basically gotten expelled.
At at this point, I don't think the CPUSA
Is functioning as a party, even anymore.
It's more like a really small clique and just a kind of
Inside network, really.
It's not even a party.
There's not even any dissent or just disagreeing, disagreement.
And um
You know, we still have people in there, of course.
But it's gonna be interesting going forward to see
Um
The aftermath of this purge within the party and what effect it's gonna have.
But anyway
We will we'll touch base on it in the future again.
We'll continue talking about it with more updates and having more people give their perspective.
But Marcello, thank you so much for coming on.
Very insightful, informative.
All right.
See you guys.
See ya.
Bye-bye.
Alright, um
There's a few things I wanted to talk about.
And I I wanted to talk today about the folly of um this resurgent, you know, right-wing racialism nonsense.
But then I look at the results of the French elections and I have to laugh at the right wing.
I have to laugh at them.
Oh, they're such victims Oh, they're eternal victims
First its might is right and there there's m powerful, uh, you know, mighty force.
They're talking so much shit to us, and then they literally eat dirt in the recent elections.
Not that I'm celebrating the outcome.
But these guys are idiots, you know, because here's the truth.
A politics that's based solely off of demonizing immigrants and fear-mongering about them.
Lawn guy, 1990, what's up?
That is uh that is not befitting of a national politics.
An authentically national politics is about taking responsibility for the historical
Predicament your nation is in.
Because France is not divided between the French and foreigners.
France is d div divided within between the French working class and the French ruling class.
And there can be no higher honor or patriotism for a Frenchman than to fight for the historical legacy of their nation, not through irresponsibly demonizing foreigners, which evinces a lack of security, a lack of confidence in one's own national history.
You should rise above this foolishness and say, I mean, Frenchness is non-negotiable.
France is not under attack as a historical being from outside.
It's from inside.
Even mass migration itself comes from where?
Comes from the French bourgeoisie, comes from the French ruling classes.
It's a matter of defending the national honour of France by waging the class struggle, by fighting for the French working class.
Not just that, by opposing the forces of hegemony and monopoly capital within France, by opposing the forces of NATO, by opposing the forces of Atlanticism.
Nowhere was this a strong point of emphasis in that so called left wing coalition.
Nowhere.
And, like I said, it's the most transient, you know, ephemeral, quote-unquote, victory in the history of politics.
Because what's immediately going to happen is what?
The center is going to reconsolidate.
Melanchon is going to be side because people are stupid.
They have this idea that Melanchon is the leader of the new popular front.
Where did they get that idea?
Where does the idea come from that Melanchon is the leader of the new popular front?
He's not the leader.
He's not the leader.
He's one of the leaders.
You see, it's in plural.
There's multiple leaders.
And everyone is going to screw him.
And or at least enough people are gonna screw him to sideline him completely.
And he knew that because he decided to base his politics solely off of preventing the far right.
Never mind proposing a popular alternative by winning the French nation, which is what historical popular fronts did, or at least sought to do, in history.
John Jackman, what's going on, man?
Yeah, Vero Fakas is supporting them.
But Sariza, that was just an accident.
In no way is this going to be like Syriza, guys.
Come on.
One more time, guys.
One more Syriza.
One more Syriza, guys.
Totally, it's different.
Trust me, it's different this time.
Trust me.
See, Syriza got elected on a mandate.
To fucking fight the EU.
But what ended up happening, Syriza sold out and implemented the ruthless agenda of the EU harder than the centrists.
Same shit's gonna happen.
Melanchon and his coalition is only only got the victory that it did on a mandate that he is going to fight for the French working class.
Without that significant minority working class base, there's no they wouldn't have won anything.
So that's the mandate he won on.
See, that's the difference between people are like, oh, you're just mad that Galloway lost and they won.
And it's like, well, that has nothing to do with it.
Galloway.
Even though he lost, he ran in a principled way.
He made promises, he ran on those promises, he didn't compromise his integrity.
Should we learn lessons from his loss?
Absolutely.
But this victory.
Uh, in France, it's not victory, it's just selling out.
It's just sheepdogging people into the center.
What who won?
Like, think about it.
Like, did Melanchon win?
How?
If so, how?
He won't be Prime Minister.
They didn't get a majority in the Parliament.
Tell me how Melanchon won.
You know, what where's the victory?
Because they got a lot of seats.
Who's they?
Glucksman and the Socialist Party, really?
And all these other ghouls?
It's like, put it this way: imagine if Bernie Sanders got a bunch of his supporters to vote for Joe Biden.
And then declare that a victory for the left.
That's what happened.
Because people don't understand French politics, they're rushing to the conclusion that Melanchon won the election.
Because
Melanchon is a significant figure within the Popular Front, and he's very loud and he's talking a lot, so people think that he won, who are foreigners.
But they don't understand how France's political system actually works.
Melanchon didn't win.
The coalition he pledged to be a part of won.
That coalition is so tenuous, there's no reason to think that the majority of it is not just going to rush to Macron i in the in the name of preventing the far right in Parliament.
you know, getting anything done.
So it's like
You know, think about it.
Just think about it.
And they're already promising that that's what they intend to do and that's what they want to do.
It's so silly.
It's so silly.
It's like Galloway didn't
If Galloway wanted to join a coalition with Labor, because that's pretty much in the UK, that's kind of what's going on.
It's like,
There's maybe a left wing, a left of Labour, and then there's a centre left, a centre right, and then there's a far right, let's say, right, in in England or Britain.
Like, Galloway could have won if instead of being the sovereign workers' party of Britain, he entered a coalition with the tail left of the Labour Party and just joined the Labour Party.
Yeah, he could have won.
He would have had to compromise his views on NATO and all that kind of stuff, but yeah, he could have.
But and then he wins.
Like, who wins, though?
You know, like, that's not the same person winning.
That's a sellout that's winning.
Anyone can be a fucking sellout and win when they have no principles to stand on.
But what is being won exactly?
Like, what is being carried into power?
You're just submitting to the status quo in a new and spicy way.
Like, who gives a fuck?
You know?
But it's so interesting, like online the far right is barking to the point where I thought the far right would win.
Everyone did.
Because they're so fucking loud and they've lost badly.
I just don't have the same confidence we're going to be able to gloat about that in 2027 when what little of what remains of the left wing's working class base defects over to the far right because I think they will.
Because here's what's going to happen in parliament.
Macron's going to ally with the center left and the center right.
The far right is going to be in an opposition.
It's going to posture as the opposition.
And as the situation deteriorates for the French working class, They're just going to go with whoever the biggest opposition is, which is not going to be Melanchon.
It's not going to be the left who's going to join with Macron.
It's going to be with the far right.
And I'll tell you why.
Even if Melanchon doesn't sell out, okay, keep this in mind.
Even if Melanchon does not sell out.
He's going to be so marginalized and sidelined that he is going to be a weak opposition in comparison to the far right.
So even if he remains principled, the working class is not going to go with Melanchon.
Why?
Because he had his chance.
He promised the French working class that this popular front, it's not what it is, but that's what they're calling it, that this coalition is going to deliver them some victories and some concessions.
And when it inevitably doesn't do that, his credibility will plummet.
Even if he keeps fighting, his credibility is out the window and everyone is united against him.
And okay, so you may ask, what's the alternative strategy you would propose, Haas?
Well, here's what I would propose.
I would propose...
that square one is acknowledgement of a political realignment.
The traditional pan-left in France is dead and it needs to die.
There needs to be a new articulation and ground for left-wing politics.
One that is able to be sovereign, based in sovereignty, one that is anti-NATO, anti-EU.
and conforms to the sensibilities of the French working classes.
And
And that's really hard.
And I understand why it's hard, because everyone is working.
I mean, we infrared are a living example of that.
Everyone teams up against us.
We don't have a ready-made established power to ally with to protect us.
This new articulation of left-wing politics, you're building power from scratch without any allies.
And it's really hard to do that, but it needs to be what's done.
It's the hardest thing of all.
It's what Galloway was doing.
And we should be
lauding the extent of the victory he was able to get.
In February and even this time around where he came in second, by a slim margin of fifteen hundred votes,
'Cause that's that is that is that is incredible.
Everyone is positioned against Galloway and he still gets as far as he does.
You know, you can sell out all you want, but
There needs to be a new basis for left-wing politics.
One that is able to to steal from both the r the right wing and the liberal left significant portions of uh demographics and voters.
Um
The thing with the far right is they're such slimy scumbags that they're so opportunistic and they're so bereft of principle that they get powerful because of how much they sell out to the capitalists and to the financial elites and they compromise with them to that extent.
So much.
You know, a truly anti-hegemonic politics is very hard to pull off.
But you know what?
Don't despair, because there's a historical precedent for it.
Because a hundred years ago, one hundred fifty years ago even, organic leaders of the working class rose to the task of building working class movements from scratch without the support of any established powers.
And if they were able to do it in the past, we can do it in the present in twenty twenty four.
But we can no longer rely upon the generosity of
crystallized and fossilized vestiges of the past made by men better than us in the past to float off of by and start forming coalitions just because of this vague historical ideological affiliation.
We have to rebuild the left and it's not going to be easy.
We have to reforge and rebuild left-wing politics.
And it's not impossible because if people were able to do it in the past, we can do it in the present.
And we need to learn how they did it because they did it in France.
They did it in Germany.
Hell, they even did it in the United States.
And there's a reason for that.
Like if they were able to maneuver it back then, we can do it now.
We just need to study how they did it and learn from them.
But it's actually possible.
It seems impossible, but it's really possible.
And we have to learn from them on how they did it.
You know, we need to rediscover class politics, tapping into class politics, where strategically you're in a position where everyone attacks you and everyone is against you and all you have is the working class.
It seems like an impossible feat, but that was able to be done before.
People before us were able to do it.
We need to learn from them.
We need to hit the books again and figure out and study how they did that.
Let's take the pledge and take the vow.
We will restore, we will revive, we will rediscover, we will reforge and rebuild a real left wing in the West.
Anyway, guys, that wraps it up for today's stream.
I will see you guys in approximately two days.
Goodbye.
