Paris attacks occurred right before the European Left was probably ready to declare decoupling from the authoritarian EU!

In his article "From Tsipras capitulation to terrorist attacks: the irresistible domestication of the European Left?" , George Vassalos describes how the European Left eventually defeated because of its choice to capitulate with the forces of neoliberalism, after Tsipras' defeat by the European Financial Dictatorship and the 2015 Paris attacks.

In an interesting part of the analysis, Vassalos reveals that Jean-Luc Mélenchon and his Leftist party, the second biggest component of the Leftist front in France, were preparing on 14 Nov. of 2015, a European conference with the participation of economists, politicians and movements, concerning the "plan B". As Vassalos supports, the basic manifesto was not really radical and not clear concerning the practical content for the "disobedience to the EU" and the possibility of democratizing euro. However, it was a process outside the one-way and class compromise of the pro-European Left. The conference finally canceled, as the previous night ISIS extremists had spread the terror in Paris. Until now there has not been announced a new date for this conference.
