European Anti-Capitalist Left
The European Anti-Capitalist Left (EACL) was a left-wing European political alliance. The EACL took part in the Europe against Austerity Conference in 2011 and 2012. Ideology Parties participating in the EACL are united in opposition to neo-liberalism and capitalism. The criteria for participation in its conferences are: * A clear foundation in anti-capitalism, with the goal of achieving socialism. * Recognition of the pluralist nature of the left, with no claim of a monopoly for their own organisation or viewpoint. * Pursuit of common action of the left in general coalitions. * Some degree of representation (in local, regional, or national legislatures) and anchoring in social movements. Despite the last criterion, many organisations involved in the EACL, with the exception of the founding parties, are somewhat marginal groups, often of Trotskyist or Marxist–Leninist anti-revisionist persuasion which organize most vigorously through social movements and trade unions, rat ...

Percentage Point
A percentage point or percent point is the unit (measurement), unit for the difference (mathematics), arithmetic difference between two percentages. For example, moving up from 40 percent to 44 percent is an increase of 4 percentage points (although it is a 10-percent increase in the quantity being measured, if the total amount remains the same). In written text, the unit (the percentage point) is usually either written out, or abbreviated as ''pp'', ''p.p.'', or ''%pt.'' to avoid confusion with percentage increase or decrease in the actual quantity. After the first occurrence, some writers abbreviate by using just "point" or "points". Differences between percentages and percentage points Consider the following hypothetical example: In 1980, 50 percent of the population smoked, and in 1990 only 40 percent of the population smoked. One can thus say that from 1980 to 1990, the prevalence of smoking decreased by 10 ''percentage points'' (or by 10 percent of the population) or by ''20 ...
