Image of the Week #9: Melenchon and The Magical Hyperrealism of the Libtard Consensus

France elects every left leaning political party at the same time, proving that commies and free market liberals aren't that mad at each other after all

We are re-centering the old tribal world, but this time we’re going into this tribe wide awake — Marshall McLuhan

History tells us that commies will fall in line with the same capitalist consensus that they claim they want to destroy when the going gets tough. The Soviets joined the Allies to smash the Nazis, which seems reasonable given that Nazis were invading their homeland. Fair play. But then when you consider the fact that most modern “communist” states — China, Vietnam, and so forth — still basically function as, to varying degrees, state moderated capitalist ones, you have to wonder what all that revolutionary death actually wrought. Accelerated industrialization? Improved living conditions for some? Ok, I guess you could make that argument.

But the libtard consensus of “DESTROY FAR RIGHT AT ALL COSTS” manages to unite all form of seemingly oppositional political ideologies in France this week; free market liberals, social democrats, cranky commies, climate change idiots, garden variety Euro socialists and more join hands to defeat the “big scary” nationalist that is Marine Le Pen to invent the New Popular Front party out of thin air.

Much can be gleaned from this French commie thought blob. How, you ask, could someone who advocates for the abolition of capitalism join the same party as someone who advocates for the intensification of it over something as trivial as a right leaning nationalist like Le Pen getting elected, you ask?

Le Pen, let me remind you, has done everything in her power to make her party, the National Rally (previously the big bad anti-semitic National Front,) soften its image to make it more palatable to modern viewpoints. She’s purged members for both anti-semitism and racism, for example. She’s made the party more amenable to gay marriage, abortion, and the death penalty. On foreign policy, she barely diverts from consensus, strongly supporting, for instance, Israel. She has been widely criticized for not being “ANTI-PUTIN” enough, but even that has changed since Russia invaded Ukraine, which she condemned (a highly disappointing condemnation, for me anyways.)

So, what could possibly be so terrifying about Le Pen that motherfukers left of Lenin and right of H.W. Bush need to dap each other up to defend against? The answer is obvious: Le Pen is staunchly anti-mass immigration, and strives to preserve the character of the European West. Against this: the real consensus emerges.

Communists don’t care about abolishing capitalism. Liberals don’t care about preserving democracy. Socialists don’t care about strengthening social programs. All of them are a smoke screen distorting the one true goal: endlessly cheap labor imported from third world nations.

There are other reasons for loose immigrations laws, of course. The West and Europe needs them because often their ill advised foreign policy debacles cause mass refugee crises. This becomes a kind of chain. Create refugees, conveniently bring them in to work low (real low) wage jobs. Everyone happy, at least the refugees and the billionaires who sponsor them. The only one who isn’t happy? Tax payers, who have to endure shittier living conditions, increasing crime, and the perpetual distortion of the country they know by globalization’s endless fall-out.

There are very few political positions, it would appear, that actually matter. France’s new libtard coalition party proves that one of them is indeed immigration. Either you are for it in endless amounts, or you are against it in endless amounts. If you are against it, you find yourself outside the consensus, and the consensus punishes those who don’t fall in line.

Mind you no one, not even Le Pen, is advocating for the complete end of all immigration. That would be absurd and, frankly, impossible. Like all things, it is a grey zone. But apparently an infinite amount of it is so sacred that self-avowed revolutionary communists will handshake with bank CEOS to protect it in all its unregulated mania. This undeniably tells us something about our world politically, and should clarify the stakes of our own presidential election here.

There are times that come in history when you are on one end of the fence or the other. Currently, Heliogabalus is the Emperor of Rome and the whole republic is exploding into chaos. Brave men need to oppose these rotten rulers. And we can only do so if we know exactly what we are fighting against. It is not racist to expect a decent quality of life in the West. It is your legal birth right.
