The US Left Must Fight Trump Not Just for Itself but for the World
Briefly

French politics is facing significant upheaval ahead of the next presidential elections, with both incumbent Macron and Le Pen disqualified from running. Jean-Luc Mélenchon, leader of the left-wing France Insoumise party, hopes this situation will shift the political landscape away from a binary clash between conservative and far-right factions. Despite polarizing views on social conflict, Mélenchon has proven to be a strong mobilizer for the left, achieving a notable 22 percent in the previous election. His recent visit to New York coincided with the launch of his book discussing modern solidarity and resource control in light of environmental crises.
Mélenchon’s message of social conflict is polarizing, yet his movement remains the left’s most effective at mobilizing a mass electorate, scoring 22% in the last presidential election.
His visit to New York coincided with the publication of 'Now, The People,' exploring the need for collective control over resources amid environmental challenges.
