an accurate description of the french “National Front”

Do you know any FN people?

Have you gone to France and talked to them about their "policies"?

I can introduce you to Black members of the FN.

The focus is on French nationality, French culture, and French industry.

This includes some of the former colonies - now Overseas Departments like Martinique, Guadeloupe and French Guyane. And Senegal to a degree, although the mass influx of Senegalese the FN would definitely oppose. But even Dumas was part Senegalese.

The FN has a rational way of regarding their history: leave it as is, but don't do any more of that. For example, the concept of an Algerian Justice minister for France is like putting an Imam in charge of a Catholic cathedral. To put it mildly, they opposed that.

And as for "national socialism", if they advocate government favoritism for their private industries, how is that different from Lockheed, Boeing, and the hundreds of billions of dollars lavished on Citigroup, AGI, and all the other Wall Street criminals?

You're labeling of them is exactly what I'm talking about. You sling smear labels based on shallow analogies.

Unfortunately for you, you are not in touch with the history and roots of the National Front, let alone with the people who run it.
I lived in Paris and the South of France for more than 12 years, went to school there, and visit friends and family regularly.
There is part of the French population, many former extreme leftists, who find the FN and their Soviet style totalitarianism appealing, others are outright anti-Semites and racist. Others look at the mess France is in now, ruled by Hollande and the Socialists, an incompetent bumbling group of elite, over privileged, over indulged children of the 60’s (BoBo soixante huitards) and how their cultural identity has been subsumed in the mega-bureaucracy of the EU, far away from their everyday lives. Add to that uncontrolled immigration, very high unemployment, high taxes, class warfare, and you have the poisonous brew in which movements like the FN prosper. We have seen it all before, and it never ends well.
Nobody in my milieu votes FN, almost all are on the Right. We all realize the FN offers no real solutions for reforming the French system, are virulently anti-American and anti-Capitalist.
