    The only scenario where macron totally fails is if the far right ends up winning.

      You seem to be under the impression that Macron is fine with the left winning.

      He’s definitely not: he’s been viciously attacking the left for years now, and has just last Sunday accused them of being antisemitic, antirepublican and antiparlentarist.

      His Minister of Justice said in an interview that, in case of a duel between the left and the far-right during the election runoffs, he would vote for neither.

      His prime minister keeps saying in Interviews that the left represents chaos for the country.

        In the 4 decades since Reagan, Neoliberalism has moved so far to the Right that is but a walk to the next door entrance from Neoliberalism to Fascism.

        The only core differences between the two is which elites get to control all the wealth (Neoliberalists want an Oligarchy were Money commands Policies, Fascists want a centralized system where the Elites support the State which in turn controls Money) and in the Moral space (i.e. whose identities are to be benefited in those domains that have nothing to do with Money or access to resources).

        None of them is in any way form or shape interested in the greatest good for the greatest number only in the kind of “good” that doesn’t impact their own elite status - i.e. different tweaks on how the little people divide the ever dwindling crumbs and how they should behave amongst themselves.
