He was a Surrealist , Communist then Trotskyist before joining the PSU and led a career as an occupational Sociologist .


SURREALIST FROM ITS EARLIEST TIMES

In 1922 he founded the avant-garde periodical ''l'Œuf dur'' together with Philippe Soupault , F. Gérard, Max Jacob , Louis Aragon and Blaise Cendrars .

He was codirector with Benjamin Péret for the three first numbers of '' La Révolution Surréaliste '', founded the ''Bureau de Recherches Surréalistes'' (1924) and participated in surrealist activities with André Breton before eventually opposing surrealism because of his political divergences.


EXTREME-LEFT POLITICS

In 1926, he belonged to the French Communist Party where he managed the publication ''Clarté''. He was part of a delegation which visited Leon Trotsky in Moscow in 1927. He returned convinced by Trotsky's arguments and was excluded from the Communist Party in 1928 for Deviationism .

From this point onwards he participated in the life of the French Trotskyist extreme left and notably its publications. He became less and less convinced by Trotsky's position and broke with the group in 1939 .

He then organised attempts to create a Marxist left, devoid of Communist and Trotskyist trappings, whose publication was called ''Revue Internationale''.

Initially passing through the PSU, he continued to search for a modern left in the PSG then the UGS before taking part in the reestablishment of the Parti Socialiste Unifié (PSU) under the Fifth Republic .

He remained faithful to this group in spite of his opposition to the "realists" ( Gilles Martinet , Michel Rocard ) and showed total rejection of François Mitterrand .
