Trotskyism in post cold war France

Those who have knowledge of the history of the Trotskyite movement know that for a long time, France was called the “Trotskyist exception”, by the fact that, even after the victory of capitalism over the communist world in the 80-90s and its spectacular consequences, two Trotskyist parties, LCR and Lutte Ouvrière proved their surprising influence, obtaining together more than 10% of the votes during the 2002 presidential election.. An election seen by the degenerate left as a complete defeat, because of the second round being a fight between the far-right candidate, Jean-Marie Le Pen, and the liberal candidate, Jacques Chirac, with the entire left being “forced” to rally behind the cosmopolitan Eurocratic bourgeoisie represented by Chirac, who managed to gain a dictator-style score : 82,21% ! The degenerate Left spent its time attacking the Trotskyite parties, who saw in them the causes of Le Pen’s entering into the second round. I am talking to you about this story, not just for making you understand that the history of the social-democrat left working for the anti-national bourgeoisie which sees in the far-right the main danger is older than the 2010s, but overall that Trotskyism was so much powerful that you could have accused this movement of changing the results of an election simply by its presence!

But now, we are in a strange period, where Phillipe Poutou, the charismatic spokeperson of NPA, the new name for LCR, an ex-factory worker, well-known by his fellow Frenchmen for his frankness, becomes a candidate in the 2024 European Election… For Belgium!

According to Poutou, the goal is to raise awareness about the “Anticapitalist Left“, an obscure small cult of the Plate Kingdom.

The reality is that this entering was out of desperation! We must contextualize: in 2021, NPA did a split between the social-democrats who wanted an alliance with Mélenchon, the leader of the labour aristocracy, not even ready to oppose EU or NATO since 2017, and the revolutionaries, who want at worst an alliance with LO (the other French Trotskyite party we mentioned earlier, which is well-known for its orthodoxy and its faithfulness to Leninism, revolution and anti-imperialism). During this split, Poutou and historical leaders, after years of denouncing the danger of reformism, thanks to their advanced age, were part of the social-democrats, while the young homosexuals and women (we’ll talk about this later, don’t worry, my dear audience!) decided to join the “revolutionaries“.

Unfortunately, Mélenchon and his social-fascist apparatus, LFI, refused any kind of alliance with NPA for the 2022 legislative election and even prefered to get allied with… The Socialist Party! Yes, you perfectly have read it, between a Trotskyite party and the party which put in place neoliberalism, European integration, privatizations, submission to America at the highest degree (interventions in Syria and Iraq), the rise of unemployment and immigration crisis, etc. Mélenchon, the so-called “radical Left” has chosen the second one!

But Poutou hoped that, for the 2024 European election, with the break-up between LFI and the the socialists (who are, by the way, represented by Glucksmann, a CIA agent admirer of Zionism), Mélenchon would finally accept this alliance… Unfortunately he did not! ! Poutou appeared as this prostitute who wants to seduce the young drunk man she finds on the street, not excepting the vomit she’ll get in return!

The revolutionary faction of the NPA is no better: it asked for an alliance with Lutte Ouvrière, the other Trotskyite party we talked at the beginning which was also severely reduced to less than 1% of the votes,… who also refused. The state of this faction reminds me of that straight man who wants to pass as gay just for sex and ends up getting sodomized in return!

How do we explain this situation? How did this Trotskyite party, was more massive end up being just hollow shells of themselves, in the shadow of other parties?
