What is the Left? Where is it? Where is it going? Ultimately, what purpose does it serve? This question deserves to be asked in relation to the political forces that claim to represent it, especially since, given the systemic crisis of the liberal system, combined with Western decline, the institutional Left, particularly in Europe, appears to be without prospects, paralyzed, or on its last legs.
In France, what remains of the two major political forces embodying the Left at the end of the Second World War: the Socialist Party (PS) and the Communist Party (PC)?
But also, what about the new forces that have emerged over the last twenty years, claiming to be on the left and identifying with more radical societal choices that combine social justice and environmental protection while remaining more timid on other issues such as war, global conflict, and multipolarity?
