European Anti-Capitalist Left
The European Anti-Capitalist Left (EACL) is an informal network for European anti-capitalist left wing parties. EACL met for the first time in Lisbon in March 2000 with the representation of the Scottish Socialist Party, the Portuguese Left Bloc, the Danish Red-Green Alliance, the French LCR, and the Turkish ÖDP.
Since its initial meeting the EACL meets every six months.
The relations between EACL and the Party of the European Left are not clarified, as several parties operate within both European structures.

“... parables are unnecessary for recognizing the blatant absurdity of everyday life. Reality is lesson enough.”
