  • Actually the ministers stay in office while they wait for the next appointed ones. They can still pass stuff by ordinance as long as it stays in what is called "day-to-day business". In practice we have seen they consider almost anything as "day-to-day business". So this does not change anything, they won’t even have to vacate their offices it is almost as if Lecornu appointment did not happen (except for some ministry shuffling).

  • The timeline of Lecornu is so funny:

    • Gets chosen as prime minister and says in one of his first allocution "I will be the PM of change"
    • Waits a month and appoints exactly the same recycled losers
    • Quits a day after appointing them

    Edit: The left party "La France Insoumise" (France unbowed) calls for new presidential elections as they have done for the past months and the far right "Rassemblement National" is calling for a parliamentary dissolution.

  • Spontaneous manifestations in Switzerland as well.

  • Of course it’s a guy even whiter than I am with an english accent lmao. I’m pretty sure he could not even eat his doritos afterwards, too much shaking from the adrenaline.

  • Ah thanks I was working with a wrong definition of what a color revolution was.

  • Thanks!

  • This might have been me misunderstanding English. To me it read as if you were saying "This is clearly a colour revolution but I dont understand why there would be a need for one in Morocco"

  • Don't know the guy but I'll have a look.

  • Not every movement is a colour revolution. Material conditions are shitty in many countries people will voice their displeasure. I mean even in the case of Nepal I don’t think it was started by the CIA from what I read on people’s dispatch website, however of course once the movement is rolling countries like the US might want to co-opt and steer the movements in a way that suits them.

    We also see such protests happening in Réunion. Again it is not a colour revolution. Many people around the world saw what happened in Nepal and thought "why not in my country as well?". We’ll see which of those will be co-opted in the coming months I guess. Most of them however lack the direction a vanguard party could provide which makes them easily vulnerable to being co-opted or basically not changing anything in the grand scheme of things.

    And yes Morocco is politically and financially firmly in the US hands at the moment.

  • I'm pretty sure he won't, just like with his bracelet last time. He was able to push it back 2 weeks to go in holidays and then wore it like 1 month.

    This time he'll request conditional liberty since he's 70 (according to French law you can ask for this) and it will be granted. He will die in his bed

  • The Gand wizard explained to me why "Black lives matter" is bad, I will now discourage its use

    Fuck this bullshit, stop centering everything on Zionists. Palestinians are being genocided and we're getting tone policed? The oppressor does not get to choose what we say.

  • Bayrou the prime minister will probably fall tomorrow. France Unbowd will write the motion to depose Macron on the 9th (slim chance of happening without wide unrest in the streets)

    A lot of General Assembly are going on in cities and villages to organize for the 10th which is the start of the street movement along with some strikes.

    We will then see how it evolves in the days following the 10th.

  • Modi is the clear-cut fascist. I would say Putin is a neolib and as with every neolib he has some fascistic tendencies when the choice is between socialism and fascism. Although I have to say I know more about indian politics than russian politics, so if someone would want to argue Putin is a fascist I would not press against it.

  • one fascist, one neolib and one socialist in a picture.

  • I mean they could train on our messages as things not to say.

  • It is materially different from the Yellow Vest movement. In 2018, the left political parties missed their opportunity and did not join with the Yellow vests. Unions did not as well. This time it seems like they have learned from their mistakes and are onboard from the beginning.

    The political elite and media are trying already to paint the 10.09 movement as a complotist one like they did with the yellow vests back in 2018, but the left this time is not falling for it and understands that if you invest the movement you can also influence it and shape the demands, they also, I think, realized that struggle is the best teacher of all. At the start of the Yellow vest movements it was unorganized and they only made basic demands about the gas costs. The movement was also a bit reactionary, but it evolved rapidly and then many of them got radicalized after the state started sending cops to beat them up and realized the cops were not on their side.

    For example I distinctly remember videos from the start of the movement where some yellow vests were dancing and asking cops to join them as if they were all on the same side, their illusions got dispelled quickly.

  • Yes France always had a strong left movements. There is a path of victory for the left but right now, it’s even hard to say whether the presidential elections will be in 2027 or if Macron will resign before (doubtful with his ego). In any case France Unbowed won’t be able to do shit even if elected if there are no strong social movements in the streets at the same time to push them even further left (like it happened in 1936 with the popular front).

    There is a good chance that the right vote will get split enough to allow France Unbowed to access the second turn of the elections where it will probably be them vs National Front. In any case all of this is currently highly speculative.

    Basically the electoralist factions I currently see are:

    • "Radical" Left (France unbowed)
    • Social liberalism/ Right of social democracy (Socialist Party, Greens, French Communist Party and allies)
    • Neoliberalism (Macron party and allies)
    • Sovereign Right (Villepin and people on the right, nostalgic of de Gaulle)
    • Radical and Far right (Retailleau,Lepen,Zemmour)

    Yes the French Communist Party is catastrophic and has been for many years. They are communists in name only (Roussel their current leader is reactionary) and in any case there have been many issues with the PCF all along their existence.

  • Yes it means "Let's block everything" implying striking and putting up barricades etc.

  • Here is a short speech I translated from one of the union leaders of the french metalworkers union regarding the 10.09 strike. This was made at an event from France Unbowed I believe
