The Communist League (Ligue communiste) was a French Trotskyist party established in 1930, which published the journal La Vérité. It brought together French members of the International Left Opposition before the proclamation of the Fourth International in 1938. Following the far-right riots of February 6, 1934, it joined the SFIO as an organized tendency, forming the "Bolshevik-Leninist group" (BL), which was expelled at the SFIO Congress in Mulhouse in June 1935. During this period, the Ligue communiste officially continued to exist but was dormant and its members split.
