Why Jean-Luc Melenchon is Not the Answer for France

If Macron was not defending his class interest Jean-Luc Melenchon would be the French Prime Minister because he got the most votes in the last election. But how Melenchon responded demonstrates that the best that the French population would have gotten was a liberal government.

Melenchon does not see the problems in France as being due to a capitalist crisis. He doesn’t speak in terms of class warfare. Instead he wants to impeach Macron and touch up the constitution. These are liberal solutions to social problems. The crisis in France is way too deep for liberal solutions.
