Introduction: The
Fourth International, also known as the World Party of Socialist
Revolution, was founded in 1938 by Leon Trotsky and other revolutionaries
trying to defend the revolutionary heart and soul of Marxism against
Stalinism. Today it is a world-wide network of revolutionary socialist
groups in over 40 countries.
Socialist Action is barred by reactionary U.S. legislation from formal
membership in the Fourth International.
However, we maintain fraternal relations with the FI and its
sections, and consider ourselves a sympathizing section. We participate in FI World Congresses
and other meetings, and work closely with our FI comrades around the
world on a number of projects.
Within the FI we fight to defend its original revolutionary,
Trotskyist program. We urge, and
support the building of sections of the Fourth International in every
country. We urge our readers and
supporters in other countries to get involved in the Fourth
Internationalist group in their country.
For a thorough history of the Fourth International check out Pierre
Frank's The Long March of the Trotskyists.
