Communist organization internationalist
The communist Organization internationalist (or OCI ) was founded in 1965 starting from a scission of the Communist party internationalist going back to 1952.
In 1952, Michel Raptis says “Pablo”, which then directs the international Secretariat of the IVe Internationale, recommends a tactic of infiltration in direction of the Stalinist organizations on a world level, from the point of view of a third world war which he thinks imminent, and of which he estimates that it will involve the toughening of PC.
The majority of the French section opposes this policy, and around Pierre Boussel, known as “Lambert”, Marcel Favre-Bleibtreu, Marcel Gibelin or Michel Lequenne, are excluded. It is reduced gradually so that one will call the “Lambert group”. The November 23rd 1953, it takes part in the creation of the International committee of the Fourth International one (Ci), which will become (following a scission), the Committee for the rebuilding of the Fourth International one (CORQI). In 1965, political and numerical progress made by the Lambert group makes him proclaim the OCI.
The OCI, dissolved the June 12th 1968 at the same time as the other organizations of Extreme left, becomes a time the Organization trotskyste, then obtains Council of State the cancellation of the decree.
With the difference in the other parties and groupings which developed after 1968, the OCI mixed forever with the feminist movements, ecologists, etc On the other hand, it was very influential a long time within trade unions such as Working force (FO), the Federation of State education (FEN) or the National union of the students of France (UNEF), from which it dealt with the direction after the scission of 1968 and around which will create for itself in 1981 the UNEF-independent and democratic .
Its detractors defined this organization trotskist like having a secret and centralized operation, anxious to extend its influence rather than to make known itself in the media. Ex-militants (be), in the past, spoke about the hermetism of the organization (use of the pseudos, hierarchical bulk-heading), of its very authoritative methods practiced within the framework of the “democratic centralism” imposed on its members, of its groups of studies to doctrinaire approach (GER, groups of revolutionary studies), of the time of important investment requested from its militants and of the obligation to give an account of its political activity.
The OCI, as for it, was always denied of these attacks while speaking about plurality about the ideas, right of tendency, and making pass from regular press releases that it said boycotted by the media.
Among his most influential leaders or the most known, one counted, in addition to Pierre Boussel (Lambert), the historian Pierre Broué, Stephan Just, Gerard Bloch, Jean-Christophe Cambadélis (known as “Kostas”, today with the PS), or Jean-Jacques Marie. Lionel Jospin was member of the Années 1960 with an unspecified date, posterior with its entry with the Socialist party; he a long time denied it before having to admit it after several press articles in 2001. Belonging today to UMP, Jean-Paul ALDUY, mayor of Perpignan also has was member of this organization.
In 1981, when the OCI took again the initials of Communist party internationalist, its international organization, the CORQUI, counted on a world level nearly 10.000 militants and to very multiple ramifications in the world and in France.
But gradually, after having been on the numerical and organisational level the main organization trotskyste at the beginning of the “years 1980” by in particular conducting a vigorous campaign for the Mitterrand vote “as of the first turn, to drive out Giscard”, the internal crises follow one another.
Wanting to collect many disillusions which develop within the PS and of PCF, the NCV takes the initiative, starting from 1984, with socialist militants and Communists having broken with their organization, of a Mouvement for a party of the workers.
But awaited success does not come.
In 1984, Stephan Just in dissension with this orientation is excluded with several militants.
In 1986, Jean-Christophe Cambadélis carries nearly 400 militants of which the essence of the brains trust the trade union studied UNEF-ID, with its president Philippe Darriulat, with the Socialist party. This scission destroys the influence of the NCV in the universities.
In 1989, it is the large historian of the trotskysme Pierre Broué which is excluded with more than one hundred of militants.
In 1991, it is the turn of Andre Langevin editor association of the weekly magazine working Informations to be excluded with a group from militants.
In 1992, four members of the central committee of which Pedro Carrasquedo and Alexis Corbière, person in charge of young work, are excluded with more than 150 militants.
The same year, the NCV had been dissolves and transformed while Running communist internationalist within the Parti the workers.
The organization published a weekly magazine working Informations a long time (begun again today by the Parti the workers), as well as a theoretical review, the Truth .
The political influence of this current is weak today, even if it remains very important in the trade-union mediums and particularly within the FO confederation but also in CGT. Without question, it still gathers a few thousands of militants.
In 1988 and 2002, it was able to gather more than 500 signatures of mayors to introduce a candidate to the presidential election. But whereas the organizations trotskystes gained a new audience at the time of the presidential election of 2002, the candidate of Pt carried out an unimportant score.
Generally, since 1988, Pt does not invite any more to vote for other political trainings of left when it does not introduce a candidate, and does not invite to vote for the left-wing candidate to the second turn against the line.
The principal leader of this political current is Daniel Gluckstein today.
