Putting aside brainrot terms like socialism and capitalism, do you think the rich are too constrained in how they operate and that weakening labor will make us all better off?

There has never been socialism in the EU.

You mean like USA does, tearing themselves and world apart, becomming authoritarian and putting all money and power into hands of technofascist CEO.

Both Melenchon and Le Pen have promised to increase spending and reduce taxes. That type of promise is a great vote winner, and people believe it. In 2022 Pecrese advocated reducing spending in 2022 and couldn't even manage 5% of the vote.

Next time will likely be a choice of two parties who both said retirement age will be reduced to 60.
