 New debates, new invitations at Marxism 2001   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Krivine on the other hand took up concretely the recomposition of the anti-capitalist left across Europe, putting it in the context of the fall of the Berlin wall (and the collapse of some of the Western CPs) and the adoption of the neo-liberal agenda by European Social Democracy.
As examples, Krivine pointed to the Left Block in Portugal, Rifondazioni Comunista in Italy, the United Left in Spain, the Red Green Alliance in Denmark, the ODPE in Turkey, and important new developments in Greece, the Socialist Alliance in England and Wales and the SSP in Scotland.
He distorted what Krivine had said, accusing him of calling for the building of a series of electoral alliances across Europe, which he thought would be wrong.

 Revolutionaries in European Parliament - Spectrezine
In the European Parliament, Alain Krivine was a member of the Parliamentary Committee for “Liberty and Citizens Rights” and Roseline Vachetta member of the environment, transport and regional policy, and industry and commerce committees.
Alain Krivine and Roseline Vachetta have fought side by side against the building of bridges between the Parliamentary right and the extreme right whether it be in Austria, Italy or Denmark.
More than eighty Euro-deputies including Alain Krivine and Roseline Vachetta therefore publicly boycotted the formal session and signed a declaration condemning “the inclusion of the extreme right in a government from a country of the European Union” and “expressing their complete solidarity with the progressives and Austrian anti-fascists, who represent the other Austria”.

Roseline Vachetta and Alain Krivine therefore protested on numerous occasions against the dogma of the reduction in public spending, where health and rights are undermined by neoliberal policies.

 Interview with a member of the Ligue Communiste Révolutionnaire of France, and comment by David Walsh
The LCR, headed by Alain Krivine, is one of the organizations on the so-called “far left” of French politics.
LCR leader Alain Krivine told Le Figaro April 30 in an interview that the CP and Greens had invited his party to a meeting, an invitation “which it naturally accepted,” to discuss the possibility of political collaboration at some level.
The Krivine group felt this pressure very strongly, and was organically incapable of breaking its ties with this thoroughly corrupt and anti-revolutionary milieu.

 The culture of opportunism-- Ligue Communiste Revolutionnaire
The Ligue Communiste Revolutionnaire (LCR--Revolutionary Communist League), led by Alain Krivine, is another of the opportunist radical organizations which played such a pernicious role in the working class upsurge in France of November-December 1995.
A December 11 public meeting of the LCR in Paris addressed by Alain Krivine provided a concrete picture of the organization and the social milieu it inhabits.
If Krivine has always struck one as a would-be Ernest Mandel, the audience was made up of several hundred would-be Krivines, each no doubt convinced that he or she was capable of filling the party leader's shoes.

 Weekly Worker 430 Thursday May 2 2002
He quoted Alain Krivine of the Ligue Communiste Révolutionnaire, who called Le Pen the workers’ “worst enemy”.
But our main enemy is not the populist right, which the mainstream political establishment is at present attempting to keep sidelined, but the state and the system of capital which lies behind it.
However, comrade Krivine’s description led him and the LCR to imply that workers should vote for the other candidate, Jacques Chirac, who was not quite as rightwing as Le Pen.

 AlexandreLeupin.com - The Collapse of Thought
A different reasoning leads the Trotskyite or communist extreme left (Fredric Jameson and Noam Chomsky in the United States, Alain Krivine and Arlette Laguiller in France) to the same conclusion; for the proponents of socialist state intervention, which inevitably leads to misery and servitude (a truly sensational result!), America is guilt as charged.
In an article in Le Monde (November 3, 2001), he equates the deliberate targeting of civilians by Islamists to the US military answer in Afghanistan, which carefully aims only at military targets.
As for the heirs to postmodernism (Stanley Fish, Susan Sontag, Terry Eagleton, Jean Baudrillard, Alain Kirili), they try with all their might to avoid taking an ethical position, by deference to the sacrosanct equivalence of all morals or of all cultures(in the name of the scholarly cliché of multiculturalism).
