So… realistically… what happens now?

Nothing meaningful unless the working classes develop leverage; history suggests that in the imperial cores a sufficient portion of the masses turn towards fascism.

I'm guessing nothing in the near term, but eventually I expect the far right will take power. These kinds of moves are only further discrediting the system people no longer believe in, and it's going to push more people towards NR.

Nothing will come of it (probably), but Melenchon launched an impeachment against Macron. https://xcancel.com/RnaudBertrand/status/1828174294146248742

Hopefully a revolution... probably nothinging

My hope is that. If we're very lucky, the EU/NATO axis sacrificing the french economy for the benefit of the American bourgeoisie might push the french petty bourgeoisie to want to overthrow the US loyalist bourgeoisie. So not a communist revolution but at least an anti-American revolt that would weaken both the US hegemony and the French bourgeoisie, making an actual communist revolution in France easier. But is that realistic though?
