text: It is a self-serving conceit of the supporters of market fundamentalism to take it upon themselves to pronounce their ideology as "moderate" or perhaps even "centrist" — as commentators like Mortishead have described Macron's leanings. Neoliberal market fundamentalism is neither. As one French citizen commented, Macron stands for the "Uberization" of French society. Market fundamentalism seeks to subordinate all societal values to "the market" where, surprise, surprise, those with the deepest pockets hold sway. Society's wealth is funneled to the wealthy and power is ceded to oligarchs and their corporate lieutenants. This is neither fair nor democratic and it is not sustainable. Le Pen is indeed bad news; Macron — in the absence of explicitly racist, antisemitic and xenophobic pronouncements — is perhaps only marginally less so.
