The European Anti-Capitalist Left (EACL) was a left-wing European political alliance.

Contents

The EACL took part in the Europe against Austerity Conference in 2011 and 2012. [1] [2]

Ideology

Parties participating in the EACL are united in opposition to neo-liberalism and capitalism. The criteria for participation in its conferences are:

Despite the last criterion, many organisations involved in the EACL, with the exception of the founding parties, are somewhat marginal groups, often of Trotskyist or Marxist–Leninist anti-revisionist persuasion which organize most vigorously through social movements and trade unions, rather than through electoral processes. The EACL emphasises an organizational need to carry out a great deal of extra-parliamentary activism. [3]
