The Fourth International

 

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.
