Yep, in a lot of countries. In France, the fascists has been stopped by the union of left parties, and the union of trades unions, and lead to the most social progress we still rely on (the first paid holidays for example). If we shall not thing that history repeat itself, this period have a big particularity that is not enough told : those social progress where not planned by the political parties, and the reunification of trades unions (like CGT and CGT-U) where not at the initiative of their leaders. Workers took the street and very offensive strike forced them off. Their sure is a lack of initiative of the workers, I think that's why we fail during the retirement movement; and If trade Unions sure have a place, I'm not sure that it's next to political parties in these "Nouvel Union Populaire".

Pro:
- Look this shitload of money you don't have to pay for insurance, parking and gaz
Con:

Okay now we establish who deserved what, maybe we should ask ourselves if this punishment help to prevent this murders to happen again, or will their cause another disaster in the futur.
We could find the Isralien army more or less virtuous than the Palestinians armed resistance, and throw examples and counter examples, our we think about what cause it, and how to stop it. Having a materialist approach
So it shall be alright to use taser one cops when they threat with guns, protect fascist militia, or evict people from their house
This kind of stories rely on the same narratives that mass media : their is obvious injustice, and a way to fight it. Maybe if the first part of that stories spoke to us from the dominant side, it would be way more effective.
Andor showing us that agent from imperial political police want stability, to feed their family, and being respected. The Witcher, where a lot of people speak about Scoiatel as a racist group.
It shall not be something like "both side are equally evil" but "what make people act like that ? And Who have the choice, and who don't ?".
We aren't speaking about employee in an hydroelectric dam. Even if both took part in an the economy of an oppressive system, one give electricity, the other mass murder. If they do not agree with, they think that taking part in this crime give them more chance than deserting.
Whenever You Gamble, My Friend, Eventually You’ll Lose.

If there were 49% of "to radical leftist" in France, we sure do not need election to proclaim socialism. Most of us are not enough politicized to criticized them as a political line. Still we couldn't convince people by ignoring their feeling when their are legit, even if those feelings may leads to actions that seems against our common interests.
If we claim equality, we shall listen before speaking.
The most "anti-fascist" parliament group (LFI) is the same that vote "yes" for spying instant messenger. I did vote; but I couldn't blame people for feeling betrayed by parties. We are, and shall not expect otherwise unless we threat those the same people we send too parliament by direct actions. Organizing on our needs make people vote, but voting do not lead to class based organization
This kind of demonstration took place in a lot of city in france, if not all.
Well, It wold be reassuring if they would say at least "sorry" for giving IP address of eco-activists to the french intelligence. If only they earn money, but they did it for free. It's an improvement, but it's still not enough
