Parisians took to the streets in a massive demonstration with slogans and banners against France’s involvement in the Ukrainian conflict, as well as in favor of the country’s withdrawal from the European Union and NATO.
In addition to numerous signs with the word “Frexit,” others could be seen that read: “Macron, we will not die for Ukraine!”
💬 “I am Russia, I am France, I am Ukraine. Stop European state terrorism. The European Union kills. Paris — Frexit,” read another banner.
The march was organized by the Patriots party.

Thank you for at least taking the time to explain this instead of turning completely nuts like some other comrades are, sadly.
So, again. Dialectical materialism is not about explaining to the other person why they are wrong but understanding their point of view as well as their material circumstances, forming an antithesis to a thesis and coming up with synthesis.
Not one person has shown the respect to actually apply DM to this obviously critical problem as people are starting to dogpile on a comrade who has been very active and constructive for months, neither does anyone intervene or anything. this situation is a bancruptcy declaration of lemmygrad imo.
That said, let me form a thesis you can attack if you have the on the ground knowledge of germany:
And now a couple clarifications:
People are not turning reactionary in this thread. You speak very arrogantly and authoritatively while making very basic errors. People are reacting to your egotism they are not “turning reactionary.” I’ve seen how other people are talking to you and it is well deserved. I can’t tell if you are a really good troll or a really confused comrade.
Dialectical materialism is a personal process for understanding changes. It is not a method of debate. When you start with a flawed thesis you cannot perform dialectical materialism correctly. You don’t get to throw dialectical materialism around like a shield from criticism. When someone points out an error in your thesis you can not just change your thesis and keep the same synthesis. If you add salt instead of sugar don’t expect it to come out as cake.
I will say this again Fanon does not apply to germany or france. Fanon writes from perspective of the colonized. There are plenty of books about communist revolution in the developed nations. Marx seemed to think that is where socialism would come from but he was wrong.
It is not Chauvinism to understand that different societies require different forms of socialism due to their different material conditions. The difference between China and Germany is that China’s communist revolution started in a semi-colonial semi-feudal society. That is what “Socialism with Chinese characteristics” means it means socialism adapted to the material conditions of China.
There is no line between “national consciousness” and nationalism. just like there is no difference between class consciousness and classism. The one is gives birth to the other. You cannot use nationalism or national conciseness as a basis for socialism because it is by definition exclusive and supremacist. It is a false consciousness.
Other comrades are turning “nuts” (ableism by the way) because you are trying to reconstruct National Socialism in Germany from first principles. Someone suggesting creating a fascist project is going to get attacked. Stop suggesting it.
Nationalism is only a tool for the progressives in a very narrow set of circumstances when the national bourgeois interests are opposed to the international capitalists and imperialists. That is not the case in Germany, where the national bourgeois interests are aligned with the empire.
Even then it’s a very temporary and fraught alliance. Nationalism as an ideology should never be promoted, only temporary alliance with the national bourgeoisie in conditions of decolonial wars of independence.
