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.
