I dont give a f... about totalitarian systems like USSR was. They were governed by radical leftists, nothing to add.
All i need is some ethics and common sense, 2 things almost all leftists parties dont have. Not that right ones are much better either.
In French case, people voted against ultranationalists, not for Macron and other leftists. Thus, i am highly positive that they didnt live prosperous life under Macron.
Their choice anyway. All i see is that whole Europe is more and more decadent, in all senses. Who to blame...different topic.
