We went to the streets for months against the new retirement system and they've beaten the shit ouf of us. We couldn't make us heard by a so called democratic and moderate government. Not a big surprise that a lot of people are trying another way. No excuse for them to be fascists assholes. But Macron is carrying an heavy responsibility for the current situation.

Ok so forgive my ignorance but if they're trying to overturn government decisions that are a burden on everyone, why are they fascist?

Because people are dumb. A lot of them don't even realize these people are really fascists, because for them fascism was an ideology that did evil things for the sake of evil, and the moment they had a semi-reasonable explanation why they hated minorities, people believed them. Also they're avoiding classic signifiers of fascism, like swastikas, fasceses, and calling themselves fascists.

They are not even trying to overturn the decision. The far right has consistently walked back on every social mesure they had in the past 2 weeks to the surprise of noone who knows what right means.
