  Trotskyist-Posadist IVth International - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Trotskyist-Posadist IVth International is a Trotskyist international organisation founded in 1962 by Juan Posadas who was leader of the Latin America Bureau of the Fourth International in the 1950s as well as the section of the FI in Argentina.
The Posadists began quarrelling with the majority of the ISFI in 1959 over the question of nuclear war with Posadas being a proponent as, he claimed, it would destroy capitalism and clear the way for socialism.
The Posadist group took an ultra-left, provocative position arguing that the Cuban government should forcibly expel the American military base at Guantanamo Bay and going to the extent of trying to organise workers in the town of Guantánamo to march on the nearby military base.

 United Secretariat of the Fourth International - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The United Secretariat of the Fourth International (USFI) is a Trotskyist international organisation.
The USFI was created in 1963 by the merger of the International Secretariat of the Fourth International (ISFI) and the U.S. Socialist Workers Party together with its factional allies, constituting a large minority of the International Committee of the Fourth International (ICFI).
Thus the Latin American Secretariat which was led by the Argentine Juan Posadas departed the USFI to form the Fourth International (Posadist), within a few months, as did the group around Michel Pablo.

Prompted by the intervention of a Peruvian delegate to the Fourth Congress of the Profintern in March-April 1928, the APRA was labelled a type of Latin American Guomindang on the basis that the former preferred contacts with an allegedly anti-imperialist bourgeoisie before forging alliances with the native Indian peasants.
On the overall strategic orientation of the sections of the Fourth International in Latin America, Trotsky warned of the dangers of "schematicism of the formula of permanent revolution"(98) and the relegation of the importance of the democratic tasks for the working class.
However, while the International Committee's self-professed defining feature was its 'anti-Pabloism' and adherence to the 'proletarian' theses, it has been coherently argued that opposition to, and criticism of, the Fourth International's 'national liberation' orientation in Bolivia only surfaced after the organisational split in the Fourth International had been consummated.

 Nahuel Moreno - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
With the 1953 split in the Fourth International he backed the International Committee faction led by the Socialist Workers Party in the USA.
In the 1960s he founded the Socialist Workers Party (PST) of Argentina, having sided with the SWP when it fused with the European based International Secretariat to form the United Secretariat of the Fourth International (USFI).
Moreno and his supporters then formed their own international grouping, the International Workers' League (LIT), mostly, but not exclusively, based in Latin America around the Argentine Movement Towards Socialism (MAS) and the Brazilian Socialist Convergence, now the United Socialist Workers' Party (PSTU).

He was driven into exile in Mexico, where in 1938 he established the Fourth International, the organisation that propagated the ideology later known as Trotskyism.
By 1945, the Fourth International was held together by a devolved International Secretariat (IS).
In 1959, the Posadists began to drift away from the Pabloists, taking advantage of the arrest of the Pabloist leadership in Amsterdam in 1962 for their role in assisting the Algerian independence struggle.

They called themselves the Posadists after their founder Juan R Posadas and, like many UFO cults, they bore a fierce loyalty to their ?dear master?.1 They believed that close encounters were evidence of superior socialist civilisations from Earth?s future.
Posadist guerrillas fought alongside Castro and Guevara in the 1959 revolution, and Che Guevara flirted with support for Posadist groups.
Cuban Posadists were soon jailed and, in 1967, Posadas unveiled his conspiracy theory of ?the morbid farce of the so-called death of Guevara?; that Che wasn?t really dead, but imprisoned by the right wing of Castro?s government.

Having lost contact with the Fourth International in the late 1940s and early 1950s, relations with the international Trotskyist movement were re-established in 1959 after the arrival of Olga Scarabino (*Miranda), a Uruguayan representative of the Latin American Bureau of the International Secretariat of the Fourth International headed by *J. Posadas (Homero Cristalli).
While the International Secretariat of the Fourth International was largely cautious in its initial analysis of the possibilities of the 1959 Revolution, by mid-1960 after the expropriation of major U.S. companies in Cuba, all groups affiliated to the International Secretariat were moving towards characterising the new state as some form of 'Workers' State'.
The Posadists, first in the Latin American Bureau of the Fourth International and then in the distinct Posadist Fourth International, essentially shared the International Secretariat's view that the Cuban state was a Workers' State and that Fidel Castro represented the revolutionary socialist wing of the leadership against the bureaucratic Stalinist tendency.

We were holding unofficial meetings of miners, who were already beginning to develop wage militancy, inviting speakers from Sinn Féin, the Black Panther Party and other international fronts of the world revolution, as we would have seen it at that time, down to the miners’ welfare to address mass meetings of young miners.
The ‘membership’ consists not even of miners’ widows, but anybody who happens to have signed an agreement to pay a mandate to the union at some point in the future - if, for example, the NUM wins a settlement on their behalf over a claim for compensation for vibration white finger.

Their bizarre belief in flying saucers was not channelled to them by some tackily-named space entity but “theoretically informed” by Marx and Trotsky, and was for them a logical extension of Marxist dialectical materialism.
Pseudonyms were common in Posadas’ circles, and the Posadist Fourth International gave the venue of their congresses as ‘Europe’.
