[Marxism] France: New Anti-capitalist Party: `For a left that wont make excuses'
France: New Anticapitalist Party gains momentum
Sam Wainwright
18 October 2008
*In August, over 1300 people attended the Revolutionary Communist League's
(LCR) annual "Summer University".*
However, despite being the biggest such gathering for the LCR — born out of
the May-June 1968 revolutionary upsurge, it will be the last. LCR activists
are preparing to dissolve their organisation and throw themselves into
building the New Anti-capitalist Party (NPA).

France: For a left that stops making excuses
18 October 2008
Hand in hand with the struggles of French workers and students has been the
massive growth in popularity of postal worker and Revolutionary Communist
League (LCR) spokesperson Olivier Besancenot.
Recent opinion polls listed "The Postie", as even the capitalist media call
him, as the second most credible opposition politician to the right-wing
government of President Nicolas Sarkozy. Besancenot was voted second after
the Socialist Party (PS) mayor of Paris and ahead of the parliamentary
leaders of the official PS "opposition".
Below is an excerpt of Besancenot's speech to an August open air rally of
3500 members and supporters of the New Anti-capitalist Party (NAP),
initiated by the LCR, on the challenges for the project.
