This is what I call selective humanism. They choose their causes based on their voters. Just like the far right.

And again that is not true. The extreme left are the NPA from Poutou and the Lutte Ouvriere from Arthault. These two parties ask for a complete wolrd order change. That is not what LFI is asking.

@corrupt, I don't think there's an equivalent of these parties in Germany. In France, the far left is the Communist Party and the one that's getting people talking, Mélenchon's "La France Insoumise" (and 2 or 3 other small partie

They have had slip ups in their communication style, but their ideas are not extreme at all.

I'd like to bring a second opinion on France. The extreme left exist, and they are tiny. What I'm sure Ch'ti means with extreme left is actually LFI, which was recognised as actually left, not extreme.

I always wonder what "extreme left" is supposed to mean. The political left strives for social equality, human and civic rights, redistribution of wealth, and equal opportunity. Idk what's extreme about any of that.
