  The dissolution has been approved by 87.1% of the about 150
delegates, 
11.5% have voted against, 1.4% have abstained, one can read in an AFP
note 
presented on the LCR-Rouge website

  The website of the NPA congress is <http://www.npa2009.org> 

  On the dissolution of the LCR see their website
<http://www.lcr-rouge.org/> 
with videotaped speeches from their dissolution congress e.g. by
Alain Krivine 
and more. 

  Sounds all quite good. But I am tempted to ask the comrades the
question 
which Che Guevara posed to the Colombian PC people he visited in
their 
office on his pre-Cuban tours thru Latin America: "How do you think
to take 
power?". 

  Taking power and the Cuban revolution are the two big invisible
elephants nobody dares to talk about in the room of this "New
Anticapitalist Party". 

  It is good to be against capitalism, but what is the party for? 

  Unfortunately I can't be there to get a feeling of the party
members ... no 
money for the train.
