Exactly this. On top of being liberticide and hypocritical (alcohol is just as dangerous, if not more dangerous of a drug), it’s extremely hard to enforce.

Ban smoking anywhere that is not your home, problem solved

A ceasefire with guarantee not to repeat aggressions is either a lie or a defeat

I’m not your search engine. If you don’t see it and refuse to search for it, that’s your problem. I’m not here to convince anyone.

I’ll let you have a look at the difference of opinions between LFI and every other left party. All those differences are issues they refuse to compromise on :)

If they don’t need them, why aren’t they winning? Only time they won recently was… When they compromised and united. Crazy how that works.

If they had no cards, LFI wouldn’t need them. You’re contradicting yourself.

Yes, they should compromise. They’re obviously not big enough to win on their own, so they should compromise like all the others. They refuse to do so, and the logical consequence is that other parties refuse to join them.

If you think that having more popularity makes them the absolute authority of the left and every other party should bow to their ideas, we have nothing to discuss.

They refuse to compromise with parties less liberal than them as well, by the way. They refuse to compromise no matter the agenda.

No, they want the other left parties to agree to all their conditions and refuse to compromise on their positions. I’m all for a united left but LFI is a big part of the problem.

There is always major differences between municipal and national elections. I’ll agree with you when it comes to national elections. But the socialists have been leading Paris since 2001. Both mayors since have been reelected after their first mandate. So, they must be doing something right at the city level! And now, Paris is about to have a third socialist mayor in a row, amounting to at least 31 continuous years of socialist leadership in Paris.

I am disappointed with their politics at a national level. But when I was living in Paris I was pretty happy with what they were doing with the city.

Well, we’re not falling for communism, so my focus is on fascism at the moment.

Although arguably the communism you’re thinking about was/is fascism in disguise, not communism. Communism hasn’t really been tried yet - or tried and turned fascist. It’s pretty much a utopic idea at this point.

When I say “countries remember”, I mean the people who take decisions in the name of the country remember. I should have been clearer.

The general population always forgets, yes. That’s why the world is once again falling for fascism.

I assure you the countries involved have not forgotten anything. Same will happen here.

People, yes, countries, no
