“To put on the same level the executioner and the victim, the coloniser and the colonised, is the key formula of international diplomacy - and the reason for its impotence”.

This interview with anti-Zionist activist Michel Warschawski was conducted by Alain Pojolat and Alain Krivine and published in L'Anticapitaliste, weekly newspaper of the New Anti-capitalist Party (NPA) on January 12 2017.

Alain Krivine, Alain Tondeur, Pierre Rousset, Sally Rousset, Thomas Weyts — 2015-06-18T13:09:56Z

We have heard of the death of our Belgian comrade François Vercammen on Tuesday, June 16, 2015 after a long illness. Aged 69, François was a pillar of the LCR (Belgian section of the Fourth International) but also one of the main leaders of the Fourth International. For years, thanks to his knowledge of several languages, he had regularly monitored the activities of its different sections and in particular of the French LCR.

Barbacha boils over

Alain Krivine — 2013-05-09T11:45:15Z

The commune of Barbacha (with around 30,000 inhabitants) near Béjaïa was the only one in Algeria led by a mayor from the Parti socialiste des travailleurs (PST – Socialist Workers' Party), our comrade Sadeq Akrour. During the municipal elections of November 2012, the Wali (prefect) of BéjaÃ¯a tried to prevent the presentation of a PST list but finally had to give way. This list came first with more than 30% of the votes but control of the town hall was lost to an unprincipled alliance of municipal councillors from three other lists.

From the LCR to the NPA

Alain Krivine, Daniel Bensaïd, François Sabado, Pierre Rousset — 2009-01-03T22:56:20Z

This contribution was written as part of preparations for the January 2009 congress of the Revolutionary Communist League (LCR). The congress agenda includes the political “self-dissolution” of the LCR, to set the stage for the new challenge of the New Anti-Capitalist Party (NPA). The authors of this piece belong to the generation of activists from the 1960s and 1970s; so while principally addressed to members of the LCR, it may be of interest to many others.

Alain Krivine and Algeria

Alain Krivine — 2006-09-17T11:23:30Z

Alain Krivine, one of the best-known leaders of the Fourth International, is about to publish his political memoirs, covering 50 years of political activism. He began his political life as a young Communist militant. It was in that capacity that he was sent to the World Youth Conference in Moscow in 1957, where he met with representatives of the Algerian FLN. This meeting was to be the turning point in his political life.

Frankenstein's Monster (on the attack in the US)

Alain Krivine — 2001-10-14T00:00:00Z

Horror and indignation... There are no other words to describe the violent attacks which have just struck New York and Washington. No cause can ever justify such a monstrous act, aimed at making as many civilian victims as possible.
