Tariq Ali and the French Economist and intellectual, Cedric Durand discuss the current political situation in France. What will the elections in April 2017 hold? multimedia.tel...
2 Minutes in but I'm out. When you talk about politics, it's impossible not to have an opinion, but when this guy so easily puts the current form of Front National in the fascism box, then it's clear to me that he doesn't know what he's talking about or that he has an agenda to push with this video.
kcvriess - do you live in France? I do, since 2006,... the Far right (Le Penn) is an abomination, if she gets in it wiil be a disaster for France. Hollande has been useless, an embarrassment in every way, but the Far right cannot be allowed to take control. Politics here, much like the UK has gone right down the shitter. Watch the whole thing before you judge...
But isn't the French guy actually saying that Le Pen is currently not in the fascism box? That her father was a fascist and with that last name she is able to steer away from radical right-wing positions and even collecting a traditionally socialist constituency.

France's National Front, which you couldn't even bring yourself to type in the correct order, fits the very definition of fascism.
