People are comparing it to the killing of Charlie Kirk.

No. This is actually a lot worse. Several staffers of a political party were arrested for murder.

Just imagine what would happen if Democratic Party employees were arrested for killing Charlie Kirk

J'ai une question pour les françaises. C'est vraiment "far left" ou est-ce que c'est comme aux États-Unis où le "gauche" n'existe pas?

(Pardon mon français)

LFI is considered “radical left” or “extrème gauche” in French. Mélanchon openly speaks about having a revolution “via the ballots as well as via the street”.

[–] kronarbob@lemmy.world 0 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

"Extrême gauche " means "far left". Which is not the same as radical.

Far left is against capitalism and believe than the revolution is not possible by voting.

LFI is not considered as far left by the real far left parties. They do not consider themselves as so.

The only parties that call them "far left" are the ones trying to discredit them to people that are afraid of far left.

Far left is against capitalism

And you think LFI is favorable to capitalism?

Mélenchon, the leader of LFI:

"Capitalism is a system that is obsolete. Social democracy is outdated"

LFI is not considered as far left by the real far left parties

The leaders of the Anti-Capitalist Party said they would vote for the leader of LFI;

Well the same party NPA says that Mélenchon isn't against capitalism...

Poutou

Mélenchon himself says he is not:

Mélenchon

Mélenchon wants to reform capitalism not destroy it.

Reform capitalism

Yes, capitalism in its current form is at the verge of collapsing. So, yeah, better reform it that to have the wole economy collapsing.

But I thought a few murders was all that was holding us back from a spontaneous revolution? /s

The guy was proving security for a feminist rally, and was beaten to death.

Yeah, this is something that could and should be the end of a political party.

[–] kronarbob@lemmy.world 4 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

This Guy shouldn't have died and the people that killed him must be punished.

This said : he was part of a neo fascist group that commit violent acts (either racists or homophobic)... And as it was recently revealed : the so called feminist group is used to be a bait to attract anti fascist groups. Then their so so called security group just appear and beat the antifa.

Adding that nemesis (the so called feminist group) is nothing more than a fascist group that plays the victims while supporting racism and remigration. If nemesis was rallying it was because they wanted to disturb a political meeting, claiming that it was a islamic-lefty speech.

Again, this man should not have been beaten to death. The fact that it happened is not a surprise. This time it was him, regarding the alarming situation Lyon (the city where it happened) is, it could have been somebody else during the fight, or any other event.

I'm not legitimasing a murder in any way. I'm just trying to explain the situation that is more complicated than what most articles say. It is the results of more than a decade of inactions from governements that allowed the violence to grow. And now everybody seems surprise of the consequences.

Well, I would rather see him not be a fascist while alive, but since he refused to do that, I don't think this is a bad outcome.

[–] kronarbob@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

I believe that justice should be the one punishing fascism. Antifas should stay self defence group. What they did here was murder. It gives right parties weapons against them.

In the case of Lyon, justice didn't do shit for more than 10 years, that's why antifas took over. I find this sad and dangerous.

Aside from the human drama, this death is useful to the right to play the victim and they cry that the lefties are the violents one. The liberals use this death to isolate the biggest left party in France.

As most of information channels and papers are owned by far right people, the murders from the far right are silenced (12 in the last 4 years ), and this one is used as a weapon against the left (some politicians went as far as accusing all the left parties to be a danger against democracy ).
