Comments on: And then there’s the French election… https://thenewneo.com/2015/12/07/and-then-theres-the-french-elections/ A blog about political change, among other things Tue, 08 Dec 2015 18:01:45 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: Assistant Village Idiot https://thenewneo.com/2015/12/07/and-then-theres-the-french-elections/#comment-944082 Tue, 08 Dec 2015 18:01:45 +0000 http://neoneocon.com/?p=55111#comment-944082 Because of the national identity issues, European right-wing parties are more ethnic and racist. Anti-jew, anti-gypsy, anti-anyone else. This has been changing rapidly in the last twenty years but is still true. They are also a lot more status-quo on economic matters than Free Market. That is also changing, as the previous status quo is now the Old Order, which not all of them hanker to anymore.

Conservatism does, to an extent, mean to hold onto things of the past. A European rightist can be holding onto monarchy, or secular socialism, or extreme nationalism, or a relationship between church and state that a modern American wouldn’t ever understand. The only thing I can think of that the European right has in common is strong nationalism, but I could be wrong about even that.

Of all European countries, the UK has the strongest tradition of a free market and the rule of law, which are probably the two calling cards of American conservative governance. France has never been really big on the rule of law.

He was crazy anti-Jewish — she is not.

Her position is identical to that of Trump: stop Muslim immigration cold.

I don’t know if she’s reading Geller, but it wouldn’t surprise me.

We are in a NEW ERA.

Politicians no longer use focus groups.

Why bother?

They use social media and blogs to find the Overton Window.

They have stopped using orthodox mouthpieces like Maureen.

‘Tis better to work from the nose backwards — rather than work up from the tail.

This is LePen’s daughter. The article you posted in about her father.

“The Phenomenon of Le Pen
see section:
The Le Pen Phenomenon in the Process of Fascization
http://www.revolutionarydemocracy.org/rdv8n2/lepen.htm”

The link provided by Ghost is about 13 years old. I’m not sure how it applies today.

The Le Pen, Marine, who is head of the party now is the daughter of the founder and has her own ideas. I believe that the youngest Le Pen to win in the election is, Marion, a traditional Catholic woman, is Marine Le Pen’s niece.

I was briefly infatuated with an image some time ago LOL

We’re behind the curve, compared to France. The irony.

That is to say the “right” is classical liberal tempered by Judaeo-Christian religion/morality.

Well, it was. but today too many Americans have adopted the pro-choice doctrine, which is equivalent to Islam’s Taqiya with respect to deception, but worse in that it also espouses denigration of individual dignity (e.g. class diversity, presumption of guilt based on exceptions or through extrapolation) and debasement of human life (e.g. elective abortion, clinical cannibalism).
