In this part of the recording, Bensaïd commences with self-criticism of the FI concerning Latin America. He then talks aboutthe Tenth World Congress, which produced a redefinition of perspectives, especially the European resolution which implied a synthesis of these corrections concerning the united front question, etc. Bensaïd then introduces the perspectives for transforming the FI at the Eleventh World Congress: the prognosis of the war and the expected global reorganisation of the workers movement after the war did not happen, there were big splits in the CPs and in global change of international vanguard through the war, the perspective of fusion of the FI with a new mass vanguard after 68, and a central breakthrough in Bolivia. He concludes with remarks and discussions on these perspectives.
