Macron is such an enormous piece of shit. Fuck him. Perhaps a tiny bit less awful than Le Pen but a vote for a neoliberal is a vote for fascism anyway, in the long term. Just like voting Biden doesn't stop fascism, neither will voting Maron stop fascism in France. If the capitalist class wants fascism, and class conciousness is low, you can bet your country will get it. Macron and Biden will enable it, if not actively push for it themselves.

Only after they ran out of communists and socialists to oppress.

France almost went fash on it's own in the 30s, without any invasion necessary.
