The fact that 'French political gridlock' is the mainstream news angle on the result isn't really about journalists being ideologically in favour of fascism.
It's simply that this angle is what the 'markets' take.
And 'the markets' is our name for the controllers of capital.
'"Markets won't like a far-left government having a say," said Chris Weston, head of research at Pepperstone.'
The survival of democracy, even the most compromised and problematic democracy, is simply not a priority for the controllers of capital.
Their power is literally dictatorial because it is regulated as ownership, and they seek to extend their own absolutist form of power as far as possible.
@Loukas Blowing my mind here. What could make capitalism dependant on democracy? Socialism?
@Loukas@mastodon.nu@Qwaint I would say that capital, and the state, always tend to try to extinguish democracy. So the only times when democracy has survived are when people are constantly pushing back against those tendencies. It's a dynamic situation, a struggle, and not a stable end point.
