History

In May 1971, former members of the Confédération socialiste des travailleurs founded the Ligue révolutionnaire des travailleurs (LRT) ( (RAL)) as the Belgian section of the Fourth International.

In February 1984, at its seventh congress, the LRT changed its name to Parti ouvrier socialiste (POS) ( (SAP)). At the end of 2005, the POS decided to change its French name to the Ligue communiste révolutionnaire (LCR).

On 9 October 2017, the LCR decided to partially change its name in French to the Gauche anticapitaliste, while its Dutch name became Stroming voor een Antikapitalistisch Project (SAP).
