Yes the center-Left ex-Rothschild banker is a Nazi. I'm starting to think the European Left has collective down syndrome. He criticized Africa because Africa is fucked. It's not really a secret.

The other thing about Sub-Saharan Africa is that almost every state is insanely multiethnic to the point of tribalism. The lack of stable civilizations has left Africa essentially in a tribal state. Nigeria has over 500 recognized ethnic groups. African nations were developed without taking into consideration how tribal and barbaric the population still is and how many problems it causes forcing them to live in the same society. This is a large reason why there are constant civil wars, tribal warlords, genocide, social alienation, etc. It's basically just tribal (ethnic) warfare. Every time I turn around, it seems like there is a new country in Africa.

@ Darkalex987 / King Of Westeros : Socialists and even communists openly run in the French elections and garner sizeable support. That being said, he may be considered a centrist if you're looking through the European Overton window, where social democrats that want closed borders are considered right-wing fascists. Macron was a member of the Socialist Party. His policies are socially and economically liberal. Here in the States, he would be considered a Leftist. In France he may be thought of as a centrist, but he's really more center-left if he isn't a full blown Leftist in centrist's clothing.

@YouReadMyName: You are correct that the American Left will continue to polarize between sane individuals and those that follow the failed doctrine of socialism. However, that is a horribly oversimplified version of the political spectrum. Communism and Fascism are both authoritarian far-Left phenomenon. They are both statism, and require totalitarian control, the opposite of which is liberty. Marx many times used the terms socialism and communism interchangeably, although he also said that socialism is just the transitional phase towards to a true communist state, implying a dissimilarity of sorts. Therefore true communism has never been fully achieved in the real world, just varying adherences of socialism and the aspiration towards true communism. Mussolini was a Marxist before he developed fascism, and fascism is essentially just nationalized socialism, and in the case of Hitler, ethnocentrically nationalized socialism. Leftists/Marxists have always tried to call National Socialism "Nazism" or "fascism" to hide the truth that it is just a different form of socialism. Nazism is really just inegalitarian socialism. A more accurate example of right wing authoritarianism would be Pinochet's regime in Chile, where the economy was progressively liberalized to free market status whilst the country's population was simultaneously under the authoritarian social control of the military junta. Pinochet's regime was authoritarian, but occurred as a direct retaliation against Allende's far-left socialist form of authoritarianism. The political spectrum is better represented by Nolan's diagram, which uses an economic and social scale, or various circular political spectrums. The opposite of the statist forms of government is libertarianism or minarchism. Anarchism is not on the scale, because it represents no form of government to characterize. Classical Liberalism is the bedrock of American political consciousness. Conservatism is just the advocation to conserve classically liberal social and economic values, and not change them impertinently or without logical reason and foresight of eventualities. Because conservatives disavow brashly changing systems which already work fantastically, their views are falsely branded as authoritarianism, when in truth is the opposite (libertarianism) that they are trying to defend. Conservatives are the true guardians of liberty. That being said, Macron is not a classical liberal. He is economically a neoliberal, and socially is a welfarist/socialist like most Frenchmen. He is center-left, and would be a full Leftist if he were any less of a free market advocate. As I said, Europe is essentially moving towards full Marxist socialism, and as you'll see, socialists that want national sovereignty and show even the slightest inkling towards protectionism (Le Pen) are labeled as "far-right fascists," which is laughable. She is center-right, if not further Left. This is what the Left does to hold power in Europe. Paint anyone who is not a leftist as a far-right ideologue. Communists openly run in several European countries. This is not an accurate Overton window. It is eschewed WAY far to the Left. If Macron is a centrist, that so too is Le Pen. They are simply on slightly different ends of the spectrum socially.
