Oh no, not Rassemblement National, a party literally founded by ex Nazis.

  I can't find evidence of this. it looks like RN was founded by Jean-Marie Le Pen, who was too young to serve in WWII. He has said a lot of antisemitic things though: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Marie_Le_Pen https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Marie_Le_Pen

    You did not look very closely then. The founders list includes : Pierre Bousquet (ex SS division Charlemagne), Emmaneul Allo (judged and condemned nazi collaborator), Léon Gaultier (Waffen-SS) and more (not listing OAS and GUD). All of this is known and documented.

      I only went from Wikipedia. thank you for providing the other founders, I genuinely didn't find them (my fault for presuming it'd be documented on the wiki page.) like, incredibly naive of me in retrospect, but Ctrl+F Gaultier shows nothing on the National Front's wiki article, and Bousquet only shows one hit (where it doesn't mention his SS affiliation at all.) I expected the wiki article to be slanted, but not whitewashed clean of all Nazi ties like it apparently has been.

    Then you didn’t really look into it.

Anytime I see a journalist report on the "far-right" I wonder what the Right would be to them. Milquetoast conservatism?

Nothing that has "far-right" in the title in worth any ones attention. Its yet anther article to smear someone with stupid words and give the readers someone to hate. If you do not like right wing politics booming then ask your do something to fix what ever the fuck you believe in instead of calling everyone a Nazi or "far-right". These fucking terms are so watered down I just can not take ANY headline containing them seriously. Never heard of this guy, do not care but you can just here in the comments see some idiot already calling this party "Founded by ex Nazis" and other below not finding a source for that claim. That is so hilarious! So fucking typical and pathetic.

  So basicly what you're saying is... He right wing so he must be good cause imaginary left wing call people nazi so left wing bad. All you did was spew stramen arguments and dismiss the notion of him being right-wing without even knowing anything about puis politics? Seriously? You're funny

  The founder of thr party was an anti semite, his daughter to. The policies they proposed were far right and some would day extreme right. But hey. Let's just ignore that and asusme it's just stupid lefties who are exagerating again.

  The idiot you talk about (but cowardly fail to respond to) is me. It’s not my fault you don’t know how to use Wikipedia. Look up Pierre Bousquet and Leon Gaultier before making a fool of yourself.
