Why have a 6th Republic when you can have a 2nd Commune?
"The memory of the fighters of the Commune is honoured not only by the workers of France but by the proletariat of the whole world. For the Commune fought, not for some local or narrow national aim, but for the emancipation of all toiling humanity, of all the downtrodden and oppressed. As a foremost fighter for the social revolution, the Commune has won sympathy wherever there is a proletariat suffering and engaged in struggle. The epic of its life and death, the sight of a workers’ government which seized the capital of the world and held it for over two months, the spectacle of the heroic struggle of the proletariat and the torments it underwent after its defeat—all this raised the spirit of millions of workers, aroused their hopes and enlisted their sympathy for the cause of socialism. The thunder of the cannon in Paris awakened the most backward sections of the proletariat from their deep slumber, and everywhere gave impetus to the growth of revolutionary socialist propaganda. That is why the cause of the Commune is not dead. It lives to the present day in every one of us.
The cause of the Commune is the cause of the social revolution, the cause of the complete political and economic emancipation of the toilers. It is the cause of the proletariat of the whole world. And in this sense it is immortal."
He'll definitely get the signatures of course, but he'll never get elected. Perception of him has generally become pretty bad in the general population, especially since his filmed reaction to the police search at the party HQ (where he shouted stuff such as "my person is sacred" and the like). I really wish he'd just let someone else be the candidate, such as Ruffin. Myself, I'll probably vote for the new anticapitalist party.
lol supporting the party that gets 1% of the vote instead of the largest left wing party that was only 1.72% of the vote away from being in the runoff.
This is the final struggle. Let us group together, and tomorrow The International Will be the human race.
