The Revolutionary Communist League (French: Ligue communiste révolutionnaire,[lower-alpha 1] LCR)[lower-alpha 2] was a Trotskyist political party in France. It was the French section of the Fourth International (Post-Reunification). It published the weekly newspaper Rouge and the journal Critique communiste. Established in 1974, it became the leading party of the far-left in the 2000s. It officially abolished itself on 5 February 2009 to merge with smaller factions of the far-left and form a New Anticapitalist Party.[1]
