Topic: Entrists


In the News (Wed 16 Dec 09)

  
  Duncan Hallas: Revolutionaries and the Labour Party (3. Since 1979)
That is why the entrists are compelled to avoid or fudge the issue in public.
Now either they believe it (which seems very probable), in which case they are not revolutionaries, or they do not believe it, in which case they are misleading and miseducating the workers they are trying to influence.
The entrists will thus have to adapt more and more toleft reformism – or risk expulsion.

 Marxism and the British Labour Party   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
It is not just a question of how this would be seen inside the party, which in many, but not all, areas is virtually empty -although that will change.
Despite the entirely false attempt to portray the opponents of the "turn" as "deep entrists"(!) buried in the Labour Party, there is no disagreement that the big majority of our work at this stage has to be outside the Labour Party, in the unions, in the factories and on the estates.
However, there are thousands of workers who are not at present active in the Labour Party who nevertheless looked towards us as being, in effect, the Marxist wing of the Labour Party, even though they knew we had a separate organisation (they also knew why we denied it).

 Organising parties for specific struggles
The opportunism inheres in its generalisation to cover all situations: From Abubakar Rimi to Balarabe Musa; from Gani Fawehinmi and Femi Falana to Olisa Agbakoba; from Anthony Enahoro to Marxist Leftists.
Secondly, they have failed to elevate their advocated reforms or transformations to the status of clear electoral platforms undiluted by entrist principles and political alliances.
It follows from here and what I have earlier said in connection with Abubakar Rimi that political parties can also be organised specifically to oppose any or all of these platforms.

In the early months of the war both Communists (PCF) and Socialists were in the government.
hench the first protests cam mainly from the Trotskyists, in particular the "entrists" in the Socialist Youth.
The most effective analysies of the war also came from the far left, Pierre Naville and in particular Claude Lefort.

 Internationalist Communist Union   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
By the beginning of the 1990s, the entrist Left found itself trapped between the need to take its distances from Labour's accelerating Thatcherite drift and the increasingly effective witch- hunt carried out by the party leadership against any form of organised opposition.
The entrists were marginalised and more often than not weeded out of the positions they had won in the previous period, without being able to win much backing within the party's ranks.
All in all, in return for all these years spent toeing the line of the Labour party's bureaucratic rule book, the entrist groups had not only failed to increase significantly their active membership, but some had actually lost part of it to the Labour party.

 Argentine Trotskyism Part I - RH
All research into this period has to take into account this entrist experience, about which there is no lack of material.
Subsequently the entrists ended up controlling the PSO centre in Liniers, a town in Buenos Aires Province, and they published three issues of Izquierda: Organo de afiliados para afiliados, from February to August 1938.
The entrists had made the mistake of not publishing an independent Fourth International organ.

 Socialism Today - Galloway's credo
Galloway cites the Liverpool city councillors who, from 1983-87, mobilised thousands in a major battle with the Thatcher government for more resources for the city, and accuses them of being "ultra-left", pursuing "gesture politics", and "not averse to kamikaze acts, such as refusing to set a municipal rate, or otherwise breaking the law".
Galloway then refers to the "Militant group of Trotskyist entrists working parasitically within the Labour Party", and mocks "the starry-eyed, far-out, far-left fantasies of the fanatics" (pp135-137).
It was the Militant (forerunner of Socialist Party) which led the magnificent Liverpool city council battle against Thatcher, which resulted in real gains for Liverpool’s workers.

The main 'Trotskyist' groupings internationally have seen intense factional struggles between 'optimists' and 'pessimists', between 'objectivists' and 'volutarists', between 'liquidators' and 'party builders', between 'entrists' and 'anti-entrists' - the factional line-ups are endless!
We reaffirm the stages necessary in entrist tactics - particularly the necessity of a period of implantation; the maintenance of the democratic centralism of the entrist group (whether or not it has a publication); and the recognition of the correct time to split.
This requires a careful estimate of the trajectory of the host centrist, reformist or nationalist organisation, and particularly its rank and file.

 Jock Haston - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A minority tendency led by Gerry Healy split from the RCP in 1947 in order to enter the Labour Party.
Under pressure from the Fourth International the RCP dissolved itself in 1949 and joined Healy in "the Club" which was the informal name given to Trotskyist entrists.
Haston, demoralised by the problems Trotskyism in Britain had been undergoing since the end of the war and facing harassment from Healy, resigned from the movement in February 1950.

 Lessons of Peter Garrett's evolution: from radical activist to Australian Labor politician
The Labor government stepped-up its backing for Reagan and its assault on the working class, while the NDP degenerated into unprincipled factional in-fighting.
Garrett, Vallentine and others came into conflict with the SWP entrists over organisational issues, and resigned en masse just four months after the elections.
The effective collapse of the organisation served to further confuse sections of youth and reinforce the conception that the working class was powerless against the political establishment.

 iSt/ICL: ‘New Name, Same Game’ - Cynics Who Scorn Trotskyism
The LTF had enough trouble as an organization of a few dozen in direct competition with three ostensibly Trotskyist opponents forty or fifty times its size without being trashed by head office.
Last year the LTF achieved what appeared to be a major breakthrough when it fused with a handful of cadres of the Tribune Communiste group—descendants of the Pabloist entrists in the French Communist Party (PCF) in the 1950s.
Tribune Communiste’s gradual evolution to the left entailed a break with the illusion that French Stalinism could ever be transformed into even a blunted revolutionary instrument.

 The Methods of Gerry Healy
In Birmingham, where I lived at the time, the "Club" branch was evenly divided between supporters of the old RCP majority and Healy supporters (most of whom had arrived after 1947).
Most of the old RCP were reluctant entrists, and were most certainly incensed at the manner in which our organisation had been turned over to the Healy faction in a most undemocratic manner.
However, none of us had supported the Open Party Faction in 1949; rather we grudgingly went along with the leadership.

I may have misunderstood about it when speaking to them I could not see how they had any concrete difference on this with the LO leadership.
They did not seem to be entrists or anything like that.

Forced to work illegally with weak and inexperienced leadership, a few comrades became acclimatized to the mellow and do-good CCF milieu.
It was not until late in 1938 that the remnants of the entrists and non-entrists with the aid of the International became reconciled.
Upon the advice of the International, preparations were made to wage a principled fight against the CCF leadership reorganize an independent Canadian section.

 League for the Fifth International | Permanent Revolution 10   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Despite Pablo’s entire premise being the onset of war between the West and the USSR he advised the entrist FI sections not to make key Marxist positions on the coming war the centre of their agitation.
Replete with separatist rhetoric, the front page article announces the formation of the new group under the headline “Declaration of Independence: Free at Last!”.52 The insinuation is that fl people must liberate themselves from any organisational ties to integrated political parties before they can fight for their emancipation.
In the 1950s the Labour entrists who dressed themselves up as left reformists, to use Grant’s phrase, became left reformists.

 Chesnais on the Birth of the POR
As a direct consequence of Pablo's victory over the Lambert-Bleibtreu tendency and the bureaucratic expulsion of the majority of the French section of the 4th International, this crisis was of a quite different order from the previous one.
The departure of the 'entrists' was a serious blow to the Party and the attack of the directing centre of the 4th International, which had become liquidationist, all but completely destroyed it.
The resolutions of the 10th Congress included a precise analysis of the character of the Paz government and a balance sheet of its political record from April onwards.

 Workers Power | WP300
For the SWP the downturn had wrapped itself around the class struggle like a shroud, and doom and gloom was the message from Socialist Worker.
For the assorted “Trotskyist” entrists, who had turned towards the Labour Party (under the hoped for leadership of Tony Benn) the struggles against Thatcher were an adjunct to their schema of transforming the reformist party into a vehicle for socialism.
Workers Power by contrast recognised that the struggles of the steel workers, the health workers, the car workers and above all the miners had the potential to become a revolutionary challenge to Thatcher.

Even a long journey has to start with modest steps, like the electoral campaigns of Ian Page and Jill Mountford against Labour in Lewisham.
However, it’s not enough for the Trotskyists and entrists to leap out.
By themselves, the Trotskyist movement could produce a fuck-up every bit as bad as the SLP.

So it was only a question of time till a split occurred.

They sought after positions as councillors and MPs under the belief that by being better sham-lefts they could advance the struggle.

This will presumably produce a Labor Party and trade union backlash against the "left" program that is alien to the traditional outlook of Labor Party supporters.
Alternatively, the present two party structure in Britain may be replaced with a new one, leaving the "entrists" once again out in the cold, and the traditional Labor supporters once again bankrupt.
You cannot change people's political consciousness by stacking their party meetings, and most workers prefer their present bosses to the proposed new ones.

 Utter Access Discussion Forums - Importing Tables AND subdatasheets
I am going to tell data entrists that book ID code must be unique, so therefore one entrist uses number 1-500, the other 500-1000 etc. Therefore I don't need to run the query when importing the data, and I don't have negative book id numbers.
In addition, the boks will be assigned with a sticker on entering record, so book ID is determined at that stage.
I can get over this by telling data entrists to enter "-" in the subdata sheet columns if there is no entry - a bit messy, but works.

 Scargill’s Socialist Labour Party - Organise! 41 - Winter 1996/1996 | Anarchist Communist Federation | AFED | ACF   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Other groups poured scorn on the idea of setting up a Socialist Labour Party.
With entrist groups like Socialist Outlook, wedded thoroughly to Labourism, this is hardly suprising, but the Socialist Workers Party, organised outside Labour for many years and pushing a selective anti-Labour rhetoric (but always calling for a Labour vote at election time) is more interesting.
They 1) fear a challenge to their recruiting from disenchanted Labourites and from among their own members, many of whom have views very similar to “old” Labour 2) as we have said for a long time, they represent an external faction of Labour, and find painful any break with established Labourism.
