PELONI: Listen to what the Left is planning for the West. They aren’t being subtle about their devotion to radicalized transformations of the West, far from it actually.
Paul Schnee: Highly alarming

The founder and leader of France Unbowed, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, is a Trotskyist who, already in his youth, embraced the concept of “permanent revolution”. Over the years he has made no secret of his desire for a radical transformation of France. He supports the Islamization of the country and advocates a “great replacement” of the native French population with a new demographic from the Muslim world that would constitute what he calls the “new France.” Pictures: Mélenchon speaks at a campaign rally.

- The founder and leader of France Unbowed, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, is a Trotskyist who, already in his youth, embraced the concept of “permanent revolution”.
- Mélenchon, over the years, has made no secret of his desire for a radical transformation of France. He supports the Islamization of the country and advocates a “great replacement” of the native French population with a new demographic from the Muslim world that would constitute what he calls the “new France.”
- With antisemitism widespread among young Muslims living in France’s 751 “no-go zones” — suburban enclaves where police no longer venture and where Muslim gangs and radical imams hold sway — Mélenchon, like other representatives of his party, now publicly makes antisemitic remarks.
- High school students seeking better educational conditions have no reason to wave Palestinian flags or shout “Free Palestine”, “We are children of Gaza,” or write “October 7. Day of Celebration” on walls.
- The rioters express support for not only the Palestinian cause but also for Islamic terrorism.
- The French government has basically appeared impotent and weak.
- The only leaders who pointed out that the events were primarily an Islamist and leftist insurrection were those from Marine Le Pen’s National Rally party and a few other right-leaning politicians. MEP Marion Maréchal stated that an “Islamist spirit of revenge” is at work. Revenge for what? For the French welcoming Islamists into their country and showering the immigrants with benefits?
- Meanwhile, France’s riots have been spreading across Europe to Belgium, Greece, Italy, Ireland and Austria. Behind France’s riots, according to investigative journalist Asra Nomani, are “Communists, unions and a global propaganda network.”
- “From France to the United States, the United Kingdom, Brazil, Greece and India, adults with deep pockets are tapping France’s school protests and turning a domestic education dispute into a platform for broader political and ideological confrontation.” — Asra Nomani, Fox News, October 9, 2026.
- “The communist Red and the Islamist Greens have nothing in common but a common enemy, the Judeo-Christian, capitalist, free West, led by the U.S. Their goal is to dismantle us.” — Mike Gonzalez, senior fellow at the Heritage Foundation, quoted by Asra Nomani, Fox News, October 9, 2026.
The recent riots in France have mainly been described as a revolt of high school students, stemming from deteriorating conditions, overcrowding and under staffing in French high schools (lycées). That presentation is largely inaccurate. Although students were incited by a few agitators to voice grievances, political leaders, primarily from the political left, immediately stepped in to urge them to go further and resort to violence.
