Jean-Marie Le Pen vs. Arlette Laguiller - who'd you vote for? Full PM-box? Change here!

Let's imagine French election getting even more bizarre. There were three Trotskyite groups in 2002 election, which got over 10% of vote between them. Let's say they have a temporary truce and both back Arlette Laguiller. This candidate might also get support from other leftist parties (such as Communists). Let's also say that Chirac has some kind of, I don't know, scandal or something reducing his vote, and French would have the difficult 2nd round choice between Arlette Laguiller, Worker's Struggle, and Jean-Marie Le Pen, National Front.

Who'd you vote for, if you were French?

Some links about Laguiller:

The funny thing I remember hearing was that they are both MEPs, and they are both alphabetically next to each other, so they are plonked together in the European Parliament

I have been to a Lutte Ouvriere fete before and heard her speak. I am sure she is a very good public speaker, but it was all in French and couldn't understand it very well

First of all LePen is not a nazi and Laguiller is not a commie!!

LePen is a populistic fraud who tarnishes the term "nationalist" and he´s nothing other than a capitalist stooge and Laguiller has some good ideas but being a trotskyist, she doesn´t understand the importance of nationalism regarding the working class.

I wouldn´t vote. I firmly believe in the importance of engaging in practical action, in preference to wasting time, effort and money by participation in the corrupt electoral process.

Nationalism regarding the working class? LO is an internationalist communist party, a Trotskyist one, not a Stalinist one. The one thing that unites the working class throughout the world is their common struggle, across borders and cultures. Not arbitrary nation states, devices of the capitalist.

And Christmann, I think it worked out that they were together because they are seated under 'other' or something. I will have to check that one out.

As it is about presidential elections, and the french president has far less power than the US president (mostly foreign afairs, I think), I will vote for Arlette.
At least she will not declare war to [insert random countryname here].

And unlike JML, after desastrious policy, she will not accused the judeo-massonic plot of sabotage and keep the post.
So she will last shorter.

I go for her (only after selling all my french auctions).

You spit that dogma out so smoothly it seemed like you almost thought of it yourself. As long as it isn't Christian dogma I guess. So you're saying that the struggle of the working classes (which are those btw?, and are they struggling for or against something, or just struggling?) is a more important point of identity for members of this arbitrary class group (the device of the communist) than their national identity? HA HA HA! Stick to science son. I doubt that is true even in Western Europe which has been immersed in commy propoganda for over a century and is seeing it's nations washed away by the EU degree by degree. Every communist state has played the nationalism card for all it was worth, and the idea of nationalism is the universal success (left, right and middle) that communism always thought it would be.

My personal experience of Trotsky-ites is that they're every bit as racist, bigoted and close-minded as Le Pen is. Whether the French variety are just as bad, I don't know... but probably.

Oh, undoubtedly. The Trosky-ites on campus are most certainly anti-semetic, for a start, and they're bigoted against anyone who doesn't agree with them, and having seen their friends in action at NUS Conference I can't say I've changed my opinion.

In any case, their habit of calling anyone who disagrees with them a "fascist" - regardless of their political persuasion - fundamentally devalues the term, and makes the legitimate political fight against extremists, both on campus and in society generally, far, far harder.

Yeah, I know it sounded a bit dogmatic, but the reason was that I didn't want to be dragged into a protracted argument, just illustrating the point of what LO stood for.

I would reply to your post if it was intelligible, but it just jumped too quickly and I couldn't make sense of it.

What I did glean from that is that you have accused me of being brainwashed with commie propaganda. I guarantee you that during my childhood that the only propaganda I have been exposed to was the foul effluent that came from the organs of the US bureaucracy. I have no interest in the nation state, and I am most certainly not going to cry if it turns into some United States of Europe or Global State. One oppressor is the same as any other in my book, but change is good, it gives opportunity.

HA HA HA! Stick to your shit shovelling son

Iain, my personal experience with Trotskyists is that they are not racist, bigoted or close minded. If they are, they certainly aren't very good trotskyists in my book. And that kind of standpoint is certainly not what LO subscribes to.

The goal of LO is the violent proletarian revolution, as it is the only way to free the workers of the bourgeois domination, in their point of view. They're totally closed-minded, and think that everything other than them is the same : bad. That's why they refused to vote for the tobin tax, that's why they refuse to choose between Chirac and Le Pen.
They're left extremist, and in this sense, as dangerous as right-extremeist. Not sympathetic at all, if you know some people coming from her movement (one revolutionnary tried to drag me in the movement when I was 15-16).
I'd vote "empty" : going to the urn, but puttin in an empty envelope. The 2 are as bad as the other

I'd emigrate. But if I had to make the choice then it would be Le Pen, the idea of a 'worker's revolution' has never appealed to me.

Arlette. Although she's probably more right-wing than many mainstream parties the way I see it (Trots are generally anti-feminist, anti-homosexual racists), She's less right-wing than Le Pen.

Reminds me of the nasty habit of MANY Americans to just call "commie" someone who is an inch to their left on the political side

Arlette all the way. She's got stupid ideas, but it's about utopia, not about hatred toward people just because they don't have the same amount of melanin in their cell skins.

Snapcase where do you get your opinions of trotskyists? Neither in Sweden or England/Scotland you get those kinds of trotskyists. Sounds more like stalinists to me.

Spiffor: I agree with you to some extent. LO IS an extremly secterian organization even for trots But they stand for good ideas, basically.

If you can´t have Besancenot and LCR I guess Laguiller/LO is the next best choice...

I agree Kamrat, I have known quite a lot of Trotskyists in my time, and not one of them has been a racist, bigot, sexist or anything discriminatory. They tend to be very true to their convictions.

I really don't know where you are drawing these stereotypes from, as they are not true in my experience, not a jot.
