History
Internal current of the NPA
The Revolutionary Internationalist Communist Group was admitted in 2008 as sympathiser section of the Trotskyist Fraction – Fourth International, but after the creation of the New Anticapitalist Party they decided to dissolve within the CLAIRE Tendency of the NPA. Later, in 2010, the TF-FI militants and the CLAIRE-tendency established "The Collective for a Revolutionary Tendency" of the NPA, which joined for the first NPA congress. It advocated for a revolutionary orientation, opposing several other platforms considered too moderate. The CRT was dissolved after NPA's first congress. In April 2011 the "Revolutionary Communist Current" was officially founded by the TF-FI militants, after leaving the CLAIRE-tendency in February 13 2011.Departure from the NPA
A dispute between the NPA and the CCR led to the latter's departure in 2021. While the CCR accused the NPA of "long-term exclusion" and a rightward shift, the NPA maintained that the CCR had voluntarily left.At the NPA congress in 2018, the leadership, historically linked to the Revolutionary [Communist League (France)|Revolutionary Communist League (LCR)], secured a relative majority. However, the CCR criticized the leadership for prioritizing an alliance with La France Insoumise over revolutionary goals, which they described as a shift towards reformism.

After the CCR's departure, Révolution Permanente endorsed Anasse Kazib's candidacy for the 2022 French presidential election.
