  Red Biography: Gerry Healy
Healy was born on December 3, 1913, in Cork, Ireland.
Healy then founded "The Club" and advocated "entryism," a campaign in which a small number of well-organised and disciplined revolutionaries would join the Labour Party, in power after winning the 1945 general election, and win over militant workers to Trotskyism.
He was expelled from the WRP and the International Committee by his lieutenant, Cliff Slaughter, and Healy subsequently formed a rival organization in 1987 —; the Marxist Party.

Gerry Healy saw that it was possible to use the GLC as a rallying fortress for Londoners who were opposed to Thatcher's hard-line monetarism.
The first discussion I had with Gerry Healy made a great impact on me. Coming from a party where long term thinking is usually defined by the next opinion poll, I was challenged by the broad sweep of his knowledge and the freshness of his approach.
Gerry Healy and I both endured great upheavals during the 1985-1986 period with the Tories abolishing the GLC and the WRP torn apart by a major split.

 Obituary: Ted Grant (1913-2006)
The Healy problem was compounded by the fusion with the RSL, whereby Healy had hooked up with John Lawrence, leader of that group’s malcontents.
Healy had cunningly courted the International and in particular the Americans in order to become their man in Britain.
While Healy’s regime had not yet assumed the Caligula-like proportions it would take on in the 1970s and 1980s, nonetheless it was not much fun, particularly when Healy had scores to settle.

Cannon and Healy were also alarmed by Pablo's intervention into the French section, and by suggestions that Pablo might use the International's authority in this way in other sections of the Fourth International that felt entrism "sui generis" was not a suitable tactic in their own countries.
This was a public faction which initially included, in addition to the SWP, Gerry Healy's British section The Club, the Internationalist Communist Party in France (then led by Lambert who had expelled Bleibtreu and his grouping), Nahuel Moreno's party in Argentina and the Austrian and Chinese sections of the FI.
Other currents with roots in Gerry Healy's ICFI also came towards the United Secretariat at this time: the Workers Socialist League in Britain and the Socialist League in Australia both opened discussions in 1976.

Gerard Anthony Brownlee (born 1956), generally known as Gerry Brownlee, is a New Zealand politician.
He is considered by most to be a powerful performer in Parliamentary debate and has come into the spotlight on a number of occasions, mostly as the result of his somewhat aggressive political style.In early 2002, a court ordered Brownlee to pay damages to a protestor whom he had threatened.
Gerry Brownlee recieved criticism during the 1999 election campaign for ejecting an elderly protestor from a platform containing several National Party candidates with what was considered by many, including watching media, to be excessive force.

 Permanent Revolution
Leaders of left groups today like Ted Grant of the Militant, Tony Cliff of the SWP and Gerry Healy have more interest in obscuring the history of this period, in which they were participated than shedding any instructive light upon it.
With Healy as his loyal local representative, Pablo discovered in Britain a "pre-revolutionary crisis"; a centrist' current (Bevanism): a new tactic, total entry for a long period; a new programme - "transitional demands to mobilise thousands"; a new vehicle for revolution - the Labour Party, suitably transformed.
The conference never took place, and Healy reduced the now dead RCP to a tiny conspiratorial cabal of a few dozen - "The Club", whose "Trotskyist" politics were shrouded in secrecy and available only to the privileged few, less they prove a "provocation" to the left-reformist allies in "Socialist Outlook".

 Socialist Standard September 2006 page12
Along with his two main Trotskyist rivals, Gerry Healy (of the Socialist Labour League/Workers' Revolutionary Party) and Tony Cliff (of International Socialism/the Socialist Workers' Party) he had a considerable input into what became - with the decline of the Communist Party - the most significant political trend to the left of the Labour Party.
Indeed, the Grant and Healy factions had much in common politically, and it was mainly the bitter personal hostility that developed between the two men that kept their groupings separate.
Healy's faction had the UK franchise but went off with the splitters, leaving a vacancy for a British Section which the leadership of the FI allegedly tried to fill by placing an advertisement in Tribune, which Grant answered.

 Entry tactic in Britain 1940s
Though Healy, James P Cannon and Pierre Lambert were to cast Pablo in the role of the great Satan and Healy paint himself as the patron saint of "Anti-Pabloism", in the key period when the centrist liquidation of Trotsky's programme was actually prepared and executed, they were close allies.
Healy's reaction to these expulsions paralleled that of the leaders of the opportunist wing of the French Trotskyists in the 1930s, Raymond Molinier and Pierre Frank.
Healy now wanted at all costs to avoid what he called a "provocation", He concluded that the real problem with fraction work was that it presupposed an independent party, This, he argued, would leave them open to the charge that they were not "sincere".

 Jim Higgins: More Years for the Locust (Chap.5)
The bitterness between the International Committee of the Fourth International (ICFI) [2], of which Healy was the secretary and the ISFI as a result of this fighting reached unprecedented heights of vituperation with the Banda brothers especially, uttering some pretty blood curdling threats.
The letter outlined the agreement that the two organisations had on CND work and their agreement on the Algerian revolution and stated that, “despite important differences on the class nature of the Soviet Union, we are coming closer together”.
Healy and the French group led by Lambert denounced this fusion and refused to join, continuing with the ICFI.

The Healy organization’s formal Soviet defensism and the fact that its publications relied heavily on Trotsky’s writings were the basis of this reputation.
“Healy is a political bandit, and the organization he built is an outfit of cynical charlatans at the top.
While not signalling an end to Healy’s opportunist adaptation to the Labour “lefts,” the SLL’s founding was an abrupt departure from the Healy group’s years-long “deep entry” work in the Labour Party.

 British entyrism 1948-54
Healy and Pablo, while lacking any grasp of Trotsky's critical analytical method, clung all the more rigidly to his political perspectives of the late 1930s – that is, on the eve of the Second World War.
Nor, within Healy's perspective could it be, since a mass left wing did not yet exist in the Labour Party, the role of the paper was to coax one into being.
Healy and his supporters meekly bowed their necks to the axe, if not with a glad heart, then at least with the sense of relief that the dwindling band of "Club" members remained Party members and that the "mass radicalisation" of the working class would still be able to crystallise around "Tribune".

 Harry Wicks defends the SWP vs Healy
Healy knows better than most that the power of the lie is limited, truth will eventually break through.
All this of course is ABC to Healy, he has spent a lifetime fighting the politics of Stalinism, but whether or not he has rejected the Stalinist method of political debate is open to question.
Throughout that period, bitter as it was, I have no memory of Healy either signing that appeal for the defence of Trotsky or participating in those meetings.

 TROTSKYITE SPY PETER RUSHTON
The Healy faction, known in the 1950s as The Club, grew in strength and influence, initially through its association with mainstream Labour leftwingers who were witch-hunted on an epic scale by the right-wing Labour leadership, and later through the recruitment of disillusioned Stalinists.
In 1959 Healy set up the Socialist Labour League, which became a '60s equivalent of the modern Militant, prompting a new phase of Labour witch-hunting, especially in the youth section.
Though overshadowed for the moment by Healy, Ted Grant had continued to operate through the '50s and '60s as a Labour Party entrist with a small faction of former RCP members, who formed the Revolutionary Socialist League in 1955.
