Quite important on LW mutations in France.

First, fyi, this is the "rising figure of radical left" streamer I was talking about yesterday. The group he's part of not only streams but does IRL events with solid & refined organization, inviting the leader of the radical left, MPs.

Here you can see what it looks like in terms of numbers and production (these debates, putting important LW figures in contact with youths and radical left young Whites, end w/ concerts, with some very good djs, and celebrities of the French underground).

In terms of funding, they are raising almost 15k/month on tipeee, which is massive here; they're probably on top of French political straming. They have networks, contacts with other radical leftists (either scholars, organizers or militants).
Now let's come to the video itself.

I'll just translate bits because it all speaks for itself.
"What if the future of communism lies in popular islam? We say that it is by basing ourselves upon this very people, the Muslim people of France, that we must think the revolutionary perspectives in France.

Not in the name of diversity but in the name of political efficiency. Because this people is the core of the common people [litt. "France from below"]. Popular Islam is an important part of the social life of this dominated social class [...].

Revolutionary universality doesn't exist without popular footholds. And in France, these footholds
cannot exist without Islam. It is a fact that Islam now is anchored in France. It is not to be taken as a question to solve, but as a necessary condition for popular organisation.

In other words, mosques in the 'quartiers' [racial ghettos] play a role akin to that of Communist Party cells in the 1950s: framing, reassuring, sociabilizing and protecting the people.
This implies that the rebuilding of communism in France has to be built upon & with muslims."

For those who follow French politics, nothing new, but the popularization of such ideas among higher class White youths, especially in the wake of the Israel-Palestine conflict, is quite concerning; the socio-ethnic mongrelization of lower classes also plays in its favour.

As underlined here by this French RW militant, sociologist Jérôme Fourquet shows that Communist urban strongholds are now extremely replaced, and these areas where there used to be around 30 Communist cells now have around 90 mosques.

"Our goal, the task of an Insoumis [French radical left party's name] rule is to contribute to the fall of the Western Citadel. To de-westernize France is our political priority."
