“Immediately withdraw from NATO’s integrated command and then, in stages, from the organization itself. Reject the tribute demanded by the United States of 5% of GDP devoted to defense spending,” read France Unbowed’s 222-page program.
However, France under Mélenchon would still provide assistance to European Union countries under EU treaties, the document added

So far left, they have come a full circle are kissing thr far right
It’s called Campism. They take the side of anyone opposing the US even if those countries are objectively shit. It’d be one thing if they had a “the enemy of my enemy” attitude but they go full apologist instead. Russia has a Far Right nationalist government run by a dictator with a Far Right Ultra Nationalist powerbase but people will pretend they are the spitting image of Leftism in a way that even the USSR was not.
Horseshoe theory
That’s a bizarre theory, I can’t imagine two ideologies being more dramatically different than anarchy and monarchy
It should be, but then you meet real people and some of them are insane reactionaries with no consistency. Especially if they have an authoritarian lean it’s easy to jump from lefty authoritarian to right after they simply changed who they blame for all the problems
The incumbent powers need to make people believe absurdities to maintain the status quo.
