  • Macron in France has been elected pretending to be this third party candidate, effectively defeating the two traditional parties (left and right) but it didn’t stop the shift to the right. If anything he paved the way to the far right to win the next cycle. One of his promises was to fight the far right and make it disappear, but in the snap elections this summer he ultimately preferred to govern with the far right’s blessing, even if the left bloc got the most seats. He simply didn’t want a social agenda at all costs.

    Bottom line is capitalism ultimately leads to this shift, because redistributing wealth (the obvious solution that even a kid can understand) will never happen.
