Alain Krivine died on 12 March 2022 at the age of 80. He was maybe the first Trotskyist since Trotsky himself to be a "household name", at least in France
The death of Alain Krivine on 12 March, aged eighty, saw the passing of the last of the leading ‘68ers who had remained faithful to the revolts of his youth, mixing anti-imperialism, anti-Stalinism and anti-capitalism. He combined his fidelity to his cause with a clear integrity, at odds with sectarianism or the lust for power.
