Lisa is 20 years old, she has been an anticapitalist activist forever and she has come to a final tribute to a myth she will never see in action: “At 80, he still wanted to overthrow this revolting society. He was Always angry. “Lisa knows his story. That of the French extreme left and one of its most illustrious activists, Alain Krivine, dead on March 12, crewed at the cemetery of Father-Lachaise, in Paris, Monday, March 21st. Alain Krivine was a political story alone. The founder of the Revolutionary Communist League (LCR), of Trotskyist Obedience, was antifascist, anti-imperialist, anticapitalist, antistalinian, and also a figure of May 68, then a candidate for the presidential elections of 1969 (1%) and 1974 (0.4%). It was the demiurge of a far left whose number of transbugges irrigated forty years of political life on the left.
More than 2,000 people rallied Father-Lachaise from the Nation Square. There were songs, especially the international, and many shared memories. The memory of incessant fighting, the refusal of the war in Indochina until “yellow vests”, countless feverish meetings with mutuality, romantic pseudonyms for clandestine struggles. And a posthumous phrase of Alain Krivine brandie as a red flag: “the best way to celebrate a disappeared is to perpetuate his fights.”
At the head of procession, there was Philippe Poutou, the candidate of the new anticapitalist party (NPA) in the presidential election. In the procession, there was Edwy Plenel, the founder of Mediapart and former journalist in Rouge, the LCR newspaper: “Alain was a democratic radicality, essential fidelity and fundamental integrity.” There was Serge, a militant of The LCR, which agreed: “Unlike others, like Daniel Cohn-Bendit, he never sold capitalism and the media. He never transiped.”
There was Gérard Veiloche, former LCR and former Socialist Party (PS), which told a thousand anecdotes. Political meetings at Michel Piccoli and Juliette Gréco to the desperate attempts by Alain Krivine to be arrested by the police after a militant action. There were Marguerite, 72 years old: “Yes! Krivine is still relevant! You saw in what mercy we are? And in addition, they stick to us a war.” There was Jean-Luc Bennahmias, former ecologist MP : “I am present because it was a big guy. I could be present for Arlette Laguiller [former presidential candidate under the Label Lawry], but I do not want her to die!”
