Introduction: Socialist
Action was founded in 1983 by a group of revolutionary socialists who had
been long standing activists in the American Trotskyist movement. Socialist Action politically and
organizationally traces its roots through the Socialist Workers Party,
and before that the Workers Party and the Communist League of America, to
the founding of the U.S. Trotskyist movement in 1928. Trotskyism was and is an attempt to
maintain revolutionary continuity in the face of the political
degeneration of the wings of the socialist movement that we refer to as social
democrats and Stalinists. We are proud
of our incredibly long and rich history and experience of our political
tradition.
Below is a list of essays and articles on the
history of Socialist Action, and the Trotskyist movement in general.
