You mean the no borders, very pro-EU globalist who wants more public housing as a priority? The one who used to be a member of the Socialist Party and still calls himself a “leftist” and a “progressive” just like our Cultural Marxists? The one who said he wants society run on the principles of “collective solidarity”? The social liberal who thinks the French need to get used to terrorist attacks as part of their daily lives, instead of fighting to stop them? The one who thinks Merkel’s refugee policy is admirable? The one that Obama’s backing? Even if he does want to cut some people’s taxes, Macron’s no more my idea of a conservative than Hillary Clinton at best—but even Clinton was never an openly avowed socialist like Macron was.
I get your point about Le Pen not being conservative on most issues (although she is very conservative when it comes to preserving France), but the “far-right” is just Eurospeak for “nationalists,” wherever they are on the political spectrum.
Communism failed because it didn't have enough territory. Productive people could (perhaps at great risk) leave and contribute where they would be rewarded for producing - an oversimplification, but one with an element of truth. Land reform in Zimbabwe failed because productive farmers could leave once random people had stolen their land, and there was no one to teach the new overlords how to farm. This time, the far left hopes to get it right. Surely, if they move the world's poor next to everyone with a real job, we will be happy to live on the global average of $3k per person, and we will still work to produce for our new neighbors as they follow their old traditions and work ethic.
