For the Fourth International discussion

Catherine Samary — 2013-05-27T16:08:36Z

I am contributing to the debate a specific perspective on the recent split in the NPA, marked by GA's departure to the Front de Gauche (Left Front – FdG).

Like Michael Löwy, I publicly took on the choice of double membership (GA and NPA) which to date has been accepted by both sides.

Elements for a balance sheet of the NPA

Yvan LemaÃ®tre — 2013-05-27T16:03:50Z

The ongoing discussion on the balance sheets of building broad anti-capitalist parties at the next IC early March, gives us the opportunity to set the debates of the second conference of the NPA, our own balance sheet, in a more global context. This text is an individual contribution to this vital work that requires confronting different points of view in order to draw lessons from them.

Turn the page, write a new book

Flavio C. — 2013-04-22T16:48:46Z

In discussions about building anti-capitalist parties the Italian example is frequently quoted particularly in relation to Rifondazione Comunista [RC or PRC (Communist Refoundation Party)] and the eventual failure of its political project. For a fuller discussion and a more precise approach to the situation it would be good to also consider the present crisis of the Italian section. There is a crisis of its leadership and of its political perspectives. This short document aims to be a contribution to a better understanding of these events especially at an international level and has no pretension at absolute truth.
