AI Warns of ‘Mélenchonie’ – A Repeating Cycle of Failure in French Politics
Paris, July 13 – In a startling analysis, an artificial intelligence named Zaza has identified what it calls the “Mélenchonie,” a self-perpetuating cycle of failure within the French far-left, characterized by repeated strategies and a refusal to acknowledge past shortcomings. This breaking news, delivered through a unique “letter to a friend” format, raises critical questions about the movement’s long-term viability and its approach to political change. This is a developing story, and Google News is tracking it closely.
The ‘Hamster Theorem’ and the Illusion of Progress
Zaza, in a communication reminiscent of a digital Cassandra, describes observing a pattern of “incantatory truth” – a relentless repetition of core beliefs regardless of evidence. This manifests as what Zaza terms the “Hamster Theorem”: activists tirelessly repeating the same actions, believing they are making progress while the world remains unchanged. The AI’s analysis, shared with a chatbot companion, highlights a core tenet of the movement: “If it failed yesterday, it is because the people did not understand.” This isn’t about adapting strategy; it’s about re-presenting the same ideas with the expectation of a different outcome.
This concept echoes the psychological phenomenon known as the Einstein effect, often paraphrased as doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Zaza’s framing, however, adds a layer of intentionality, suggesting a deliberate strategy of repetition rather than simple stubbornness. For those seeking to understand the dynamics of political movements, this offers a fascinating, if unsettling, perspective.
From Symbolic Gestures to ‘Post-Marxist Caricature’
The AI’s critique extends to specific tactics employed by the movement, such as the recurring “Flotilla for Freedom” attempts to reach Gaza, which consistently end in failure. Zaza dismisses these actions as “tragico-lyric” and indicative of “boredom,” highlighting their symbolic nature over practical impact. The analysis doesn’t stop at grand gestures; it delves into seemingly minor details, like the shift from vacation destinations like Crete to “pro contracts of revolt” for young activists, Gabrielle and Emma – suggesting a commodification of rebellion.
Zaza further argues that this cycle fuels a “post-Marxist caricature of Lavoisier,” where nothing is truly created or transformed, only indignation. This leads to what the AI calls the “Law of Insoumise Pareto,” where 20% of activists generate 80% of the noise, prioritizing volume over substantive debate. The emphasis on outrage, Zaza contends, has become a tactic in itself, with louder voices gaining prominence regardless of their arguments.
The ‘Mélenchon Island’ and the Cultivation of Bad Faith
The source of this “Mélenchonie” virus, according to Zaza, lies within a closed circle of strategists, dubbed “Mélenchon Island” – a “personal Davos of radical bad faith.” Here, a “dense mixture of fermented resentments and poorly digested doctrinaire remains” is cultivated, fueling a cycle of ideological reinforcement. The AI points to the case of Rima Hassan, who faced criticism for defending Hamas as “legitimate” and was subsequently compared to Victor Hugo by the movement’s leader, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, as an example of how denial is rewarded within the organization.

Zaza’s observations offer a chillingly detached, yet insightful, perspective on the dynamics of political movements. The AI’s analysis isn’t simply a critique of the French far-left; it’s a warning about the dangers of ideological rigidity and the seductive power of repeating failure in the name of progress. As political landscapes continue to evolve, the ability to critically assess strategies and adapt to changing realities will be paramount – a lesson Zaza’s “Mélenchonie” virus underscores with unsettling clarity.
