	Revolutionary Communist League (France) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was founded in 1974, after its forerunner the Communist League (Ligue Communiste) was banned in 1973.
		The Communist League was itself founded in 1969 after the Revolutionary Communist Youth (Jeunesses Communistes Révolutionnaires) was banned in 1968.

		The Workers Opposition was a faction of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union that emerged in 1920 as a response to the perceived over-bureaucratisation that was occurring in the Soviet Union.
		The Italian Left Communists were named Left Communists at a later stage in their development, but when the Communist Party of Italy was founded they were actually the majority of Communists in that country.
		This was a result of the Abstentionist Communist Fraction of the Italian Socialist Party (PSI) being in advance of other sections of the PSI in their realisation that a separate Communist Party had to be formed which did not include reformists.

	French Red Groups
		The youth group of the PCF is the Movement of Communist Youth (MJC).
		The lineage of the LCR can be traced back to the very first French Trotskyist organizations; in April 1930, the Ligue Communiste was formed as an amalgamation of the supporters of Leon Trotsky who had been expelled from the French Communist Party (PCF).
		The LCR hoped to continue this trend for the April 2002 Presidential elections, running a joint candidacy of Laguiller, but LO refused; they said that a joint slate would primarily benefit the LCR.

	French revolutionary left on the front line (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Because the LCR was aware of that, a proposal was made a year ago: to have only one candidate for the presidential election, able to speak on behalf of the whole far left.
		The kind of party the LCR wants to build is a party of the genuine left, a 100 per cent left, as true to the defence of workers and oppressed people as the right-wing parties are true to the defence of profit and shareholders.
		In November and December, the LCR will organise dozens of local forums all over the country to debate with individuals, groups of activists and local political groups that are ready to discuss the failure of the reformist left and the perspective of a new party.

		The LCR’s (3) is merely the assertion that these practices of the SWP are flatly in contradiction with the SWP’s proclaimed political ideology.
		Callinicos responds to the LCR criticisms for the SWP CC with a combination of injured innocence, an assertion of ‘Leninist fundamentals’ in the SWP’s usual rather dogmatic form, and a counter-critique of the practice of the LCR.
		The error of the LCR here flows from a general error of the FI, adopted in its response to Stalinism in the 1985 ‘Resolution on socialist democracy and the dictatorship of the proletariat’.

	The culture of opportunism-- Ligue Communiste Revolutionnaire
		During the strike wave, the LCR glorified the spontaneous movement of workers and students, denied the need for a political struggle to drive out the Juppe government and defended the actions of the CGT (General Confederation of Labor) and FO (Workers Power) union bureaucracies.
		The basic proposition of the LCR was that it was wrong to "impose" a political perspective on the spontaneous movement.
		The origins of the Ligue Com-muniste Revolutionnaire lie in the minority of the French Trotskyists who adhered to the revisionist political line of Michel Pablo, secretary of the International Secretariat (IS) of the Fourth International (FI), in the early 1950s.

		To all activists in the communist party and trade unions, we say that they must act to force their organizations to change their policy into one aimed at defending the material, political and moral interests of the working class as a whole.
		Our aim is not, of course, to go back to the tradition of the communist party of the Stalinist period, even if it was during the period, after World War II, that the CP reached the peak of its influence....

		Shortly after the French local elections of April 2001, which confirmed the increased electoral strength of the far left, the Ligue Communiste Révolutionnaire proposed a joint campaign for the Spring 2002 presidential and legislative elections to the other main organization of the French far left, Lutte Ouvrière (LO).
		ON Saturday March 23, 2002 the Revolutionary Communist League (LCR, French section of the Fourth International) deposited at the Constitutional Council the 500 "sponsorships" that will enable its candidate, Olivier Besancenot, to be on the ballot in the first round of the presidential election on April 21.
		LCR spokesperson Olivier Besancenot, speaking at a large rally organised by the French Communist Party, argued that a victory for the ’No’ position in the referendum on the proposed European Constitution would be a victory for the left, and could be a new point of departure for anti-capitalist struggles.

	The French Ligue Communiste Révolutionnaire defends its opportunism
		The response of the LCR to the first round of the presidential election April 21 represented a turning point in the history of the organization.
		The LCR as a result has assumed political responsibility, whether or not it acknowledges it, for the measures carried out by the Chirac government—not only its attacks on the social programs and living standards of French workers, but also its actions in defense of French imperialist interests throughout the world.
		Second, he indicated that the LCR’s aim was to block “the far right both in the streets and in the elections [at the ballot box].” He admitted that this had “generated a debate amongst us, and we never hid it...

	On 18th January the leadership of the French Ligue Communiste
		Firstly, the LCR recognise, and not just on paper but also in terms of practi-cal implication of its militants, the im-portance and the centrality of the anti-capitalist movement, which it calls ‘altermondialiste’, emphasising the struggle for a different globalisation rather than the struggle against globalisation.
		One major point of the 15th Congress of the LCR was the decision to launch an appeal for an anti-capitalist left.
		In this sense, Olivier Besancenot is quite right to say that the ideas of the LCR are those of the majority: some 60-70 percent of the population supported the strikes, and the revolutionary left and particularly the LCR were the only organisations to work practically and politically flat out to build the strikes.

	France: Popular front opens the door to fascist reaction
		LO calls for “broad participation” in all the demonstrations against Le Pen and the far right, but claims it won’t support those whose aim is to support Chirac or a “Republican front.” Yet that is precisely the purpose of all the marches, whether they say so explicitly or not.
		The LCR statement attacks the FN chief for his support of privatization and anti-social legislation, but says nothing about his racist attacks on youth and immigrants.
		A genuinely communist party which fights for a Socialist United States of Europe can only be built in the struggle to reforge the Fourth International, world party of socialist revolution.

	FRANCE: Anti-capitalist electoral pact announced
		The electoral pact is a key victory in the LCR's principal project of rassemblement (regroupment) of militant left organisations and the construction of a party capable of uniting the anti-capitalist left in France, and follows the remarkable success of the presidential election campaign.
		With this in mind, the LCR is also embarking on a process of initiating local conferences for the anti-capitalist left, which it hopes will converge at a national conference at the end of 2004.
		The growth of the LCR, especially amongst young people (who form the bulk of its new members), the increasing power and articulation of the mass movements in France, and now the prospect of a joint election campaign with LO, have the parties of the so-called mainstream left running scared.

		Because they were trying to reach Parti Communiste Francais (PCF) supporters, they were just speaking about a 'new communist party' and saying to their potential voters that they were not asking them to vote for communism but to vote for their simple anti-capitalist demands.
		LCR are much younger, for example students and young workers vote for them, but not so much the industrial workplaces.
		The LCR on the other hand initially said that they had no position and called for mobilisation.

		The following is the text, published on 23 November, of the platform ("profession de foi") of the joint slate being run for the Euro-elections by Lutte Ouvriere and the Ligue Communiste Revolutionnaire, the two main revolutionary working-class organisations in France.
		The fact of unity is important: although LO and the LCR have run joint election campaigns on many occasions since 1969, this move comes after several years in which they were unable to reach agreement to work together.
		The great strike of winter 1995, the movement of the unemployed and their European marches, have shown a rejection of the logic of capitalism and have aroused sympathy all across Europe.

	Trotskyism
		This theory was advanced in opposition to the position held by the Stalinist faction within the Communist Party that "socialism in one country" could be built in Russia.
		In fact the term Trotskyist was originally used by the Stalinists to describe that faction of the Communist party, led by Leon Trotsky, that described itself as Bolshevik Leninist, although not used with any great frequency today the term is still used by some.
		Among the largest Trotskyist organisations today are the Socialist Workers Party and the Socialist Party (formerly Militant) in Great Britain, Lutte Ouvrière and the Ligue communiste revolutionnaire in France, the International Socialist Organization in the United States, and the Partido Obrero in Argentina.

	No to Chirac and Le Pen! For a working class boycott of the French election An open letter to Lutte Ouvrière, ...
		The language of the LCR statement suggests that the arguments for a vote for Chirac in the second round are somehow unanswerable, or that to come out openly for boycotting the choice of Chirac and Le Pen will not be understood by the masses.
		As for the Communist Party, it was for many decades the principal pillar of French capitalism within the working class.
		Communist Party leader and presidential candidate Robert Hue first came to prominence 20 years ago as the mayor of a Paris suburb who whipped up hatred and fear of immigrant workers.

		The coalition of Lutte Ouvriere (LO) and the Ligue Communiste Revolutionnaire (LCR) won 4.95 percent of the vote in the first round of the elections the weekend before last.
		LO and, to a lesser extent, the LCR tend to portray the official left as no different from the right.
		By putting the parties of the plural left in the same bag as the ruling right, LO and the LCR may have isolated themselves from voters traditionally loyal to the Communists or Socialists.

		The ultra-reformist Socialist (PS) and Communist parties (PCF) were even more explicit in ordering their supporters to cast their votes for Chirac.
		The pseudo-Trotskyist tails of the popular front (LO, LCR, PT) sought to pressure the government to the left and sidle up to the police rather than fighting to defeat the imperialist war at home and abroad.
		To fight the fascist threat and the war on the working class proclaimed by the leading voices of French capital, it is necessary to forge a genuinely Leninist-Trotskyist vanguard party of the proletariat, not an opportunist imitation.

	Fracción Trotskista Estrategia Internacional
		Because of the strong spontaneist illusions that the May 1968 movement in France engendered among the youth, the foundation of the Ligue Communiste as a section of the Fourth International in 1969 was the result of a lively debate, notably on the question of organisation.
		Beyond that, despite this diversity, these experiences are embedded in a situation of redefinition and political recomposition, opened by the end of the 'short 20th century' since the fall of the Berlin Wall and the disintegration of the Soviet Union.
		The LCR was able to resist the defeats of the 1980s and 90s essentially thanks to its activity in the mass movement - in the trade unions and in the mass social movements (unemployed, women and anti-racist).

	Antisemitism Worldwide 2003/4 - France
		In the first ballot of the regional election, the far left polled 4.95 percent and lost almost all their seats. The Communist Party polled 6.79 percent in the Euro-election, which put a stop to its decline (the Party had numerous regional councilors elected on slates shared with the Socialist and Green parties).
		Orthodox communist and sometimes Stalinist groups, on the fringe of the Communist Party, such as the Pôle de Renaissance Communiste de France (publication: Initiative Communiste); Renaissance Communiste and Gauche Communiste, are particularly supportive of Palestinian hardliners and promote extreme anti-Zionism.
		In 2004 several high-ranking officials of the LCR, Green Party MP Noel Mamère, and even feminists from the far left took part in these demonstrations, alongside members of Présence Musulmane and the Collectif des Musulmans de France, the two pro-Ramadan organizations.
