Are we, realistically, doomed to see a Le Pen presidency in 2027? (lemmygrad.ml)

I am asking this because of the ever increasing support from the bourgeoisie, as the contradictions withing the french bourgeois class due to the fall of their neo-colonial empire and the decay of western hegemony. In 2027 Le Pen will frame herself as the true opposition to the current state of things as the NPF libs and Macronists inevitably fail to resolve any of their current problems.

Besides the PCRF, all of the major communist/socialist parties are social fascists, leaving the working class with no reliable party to stand by against the rise of fascism.

So, are we doomed to see a fascist Le Pen ruling France by 2027?

Didn't the popular front get a lot of votes this last elections? Which might signal some possibility of putting some strong opposition

Problem is, the Popular Front has a big chunck that belongs to the "Socialist Party" which traumatized everyone by winning the 2014 presidency and :

Doing a right wing budget policy
Doing a right wing worker's rights policy
Doing a right wing mass surveillance policy
Naming the biggest Zionist in town as prime minister
Naming literally Macron minister of the economy

You can imagine how thin the ice is for this alliance

Sure, but still there is a chance of it working well enough to prevent le pen, its not by any stretch a certainty but might be a possibility
