France: The LCR sets a new political trap for the working class
By Peter Schwarz
8 September 2007

The Revolutionary Communist League (Ligue Communiste 
Révolutionnaire—LCR) is responding to the disintegration of the 
Socialist Party in France with an initiative to create a new 
right-centrist party. In so doing, it is attempting to create a 
mechanism, urgently required by the French ruling class, to combat the 
growing radicalisation of workers and young people and prevent a new 
generation turning to revolutionary Marxism.

LCR spokesperson Olivier Besancenot announced the plans for a new party 
in the course of several interviews at the party’s recent “summer 
university” in Port-Leucate. He stressed that the new party would be 
“anti-capitalist,” but, unlike the LCR, would no longer claim any 
association with Trotskyism.
