 Committee for a Workers' International - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Committee for a Workers' International (CWI) is an international association of Trotskyist Parties.
Until the early 1990s CWI sections pursued a policy of entrism into social democratic or labour parties but this largely ended in the 1990s due to an analysis that these parties had become bourgeoisified and were no longer mass workers parties.
This was strongly resisted by Ted Grant, Militant's founder, who was expelled in 1992 after he and his supporters stopped paying dues in preparation of founding their own organisation which became the Committee for a Marxist International.

This has led to the Committee for a WorkersInternational not acting to intervene as a distinct revolutionary force with a common and agreed policy.
In essence the revolutionary content of the Committee for a WorkersInternational has been removed and replaced with nothing more than the shadow of what we once were, in effect a Marxist discussion circle.
