	International Communist League (Fourth Internationalist) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Spartacist League is also highly critical of groups associated with the United Secretariat of the Fourth International which they characterize as Pabloite.
		It is further alleged, specifically by the International Bolshevik Tendency, that later in the 1970s Robertson conducted a further preemptive purge of the group so that no rivals to his leadership could emerge.
		Another split occurred in 1996 when the founders of the League for the Fourth International were expelled, allegedly for maneuvering with a group from Brazil involved in bringing court suit against a trade union.

	International Communist League
		The International Communist League (Fourth Internationalist) is a proletarian, revolutionary and internationalist tendency committed to the task of building Leninist parties as national sections of a democratic-centralist international.
		We also look to James P. Cannon, a leader of the early American Communist Party who was won to Trotskyism and went on to become a principal founder of the Socialist Workers Party (SWP), working in close collaboration with Leon Trotsky.
		The origins of the ICL are in the Spartacist League/U.S., which began as the Revolutionary Tendency in the SWP and was bureaucratically expelled in 1963.

	ICL(FI): Declaration of Principals
		The International Communist League (Fourth Internationalist) is a proletarian, revolutionary and internationalist tendency which is committed to the task of building Leninist parties as national sections of a democratic-centralist international whose purpose is to lead the working class to victory through socialist revolutions throughout the world.
		The Fourth International's organizational weakness, lack of deep roots in the proletariat, and theoretical incapacity and disorientation after WW 2 contributed heavily to the political break in continuity with the program of Trotsky's Fourth International.
		Communists seek to build the strongest possible unity of the working class against the capitalist exploiters; therefore, we oppose craft devisions in the proletariat and stand for industrial unionism, and oppose the splitting of the working class into competing unions based on different political tendencies or ethnic groupings.

	Declaration of the League for the Fourth International
		As the second imperialist world war approached, the Fourth International stood at its post, fighting for unconditional defense of the USSR against imperialist attack and for the revolutionary overthrow by the proletariat of the Stalinist bureaucracy that was a mortal danger to the workers state.
		This is the case of the “Liaison Committee for a Workers International” of Pierre Lambert’s French PT (Workers Party); the “Committee for a Workers International,” led by Peter Taaffe’s Socialist Party in Britain (formerly the Militant Labour tendency); and the Latin America-based International Workers League of the followers of the late Nahuel Moreno.
		The British Workers Power and its satellites grouped in the League for a Revolutionary Communist International have recently returned to their “state capitalist” roots: after a decade and a half of pretending to uphold the Trotskyist characterization of deformed workers states, WP has now declared that the bourgeois state was never replaced in East Europe.

	Duncan Hallas: Against the Stream (1972)
		Organised from 1930, as the International Communist League, they regarded themselves as a faction of the Comintern which had been bureaucratically excluded by the Stalinists and which was fighting to reform the regime in the USSR and in the Comintern.
		The majority of the Communist League of Great Britain rejected the advice of the ICL and a split occurred – the first of the many that were to plague the Fourth Internationalist Movement in Britain.
		The Poles – who opposed the proclamation of the International – had no independent organisation as the Conference resolution on Poland shows, and the Greeks were split between the “United Internationalist Communist Organisation” and the “International Communist League”, neither of which seem to have amounted to much.

	Globalization @ Globalists.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		The International Monetary Fund (IMF) defines globalization as “the growing economic interdependence of countries worldwide through increasing volume and variety of cross-border transactions in goods and services, freer international capital flows, and more rapid and widespread diffusion of technology”.
		Critics of international investment contend that by accepting these financial schemes a country loses its economic sovereignty and may be forced to set policies that are contrary to its citizen's interests or desires.
		Also, many note that such features, including the increase in international trade and the greater role of multinational corporations, are not as deeply established as they may appear.

	Workers Vanguard
		The International Communist League (Fourth Internationalist) joined in cheering as the rotted British Empire finally lost its last major colonial holding with the lowering of the bloody Union Jack and the raising of the five-starred red flag of the People's Republic.
		But we warn that in the hands of the venal Stalinist bureaucracy, which has pledged to maintain Hong Kong's capitalist system, the takeover of the territory is a dagger aimed at the remaining gains of the 1949 Chinese Revolution.
		The heightened danger posed to the Chinese bureaucratically deformed workers state was amply manifest in the record high hit by Hong Kong's Hang Seng stock index on the eve of the takeover, and by the all-night parties hosted by local tycoons.

	iSt/ICL: ‘New Name, Same Game’ - Cynics Who Scorn Trotskyism
		Key to the Tribune Communiste fusion with the LTF in 1988 was the latter’s positions on the Russian question—in particular, opposition to Solidarnosc and support to the USSR against the Afghan mujahedeen.
		The ex-Tribune Communiste comrades are the latest in a long line of cadres who have been bounced out of Robertson’s mini-’’international’’ in the past ten years.
		Yet, as the experience with the Tribune Communiste group demonstrates, cadres breaking to the left from Stalinism are unlikely to enjoy the mini-deformed workers state atmosphere which pervades the sections of the ICL.

	COFI Political Resolutionl
		Proletarians with the most advanced consciousness are driven by the class struggle to form their own vanguard communist party, the key to the successful seizure of state power and the formation of workers’ states.
		An International is not the fortuitous outcome of a process of building parties in each country, a nationalist federational strategy in disguise.
		Pending the re-creation of the Fourth International, COFI operates in the spirit of democratic centralism; it is prevented from becoming fully democratic centralist solely by limited resources.

	Why we fought to defend the Soviet Union(part 2) : SF Indymedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		We Trotskyists of the International Communist League fought to the end in defense of the Soviet workers state and the collectivized economy ushered in by the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917.
		Hostile from the outset to workers democracy and the fight for international extension of the revolution as the road to socialist development, Stalin’s heirs now repudiated the ideology of “socialism in one country” in the negative, in favor of increasingly open expressions of belief in the economic superiority of Western-type capitalism.
		It was at that moment in 1989 that the international Spartacist tendency became the International Communist League (Fourth Internationalist).

	Declaration of the International Communist League
		In the same vein, the minuscule International Bolshevik Tendency (IBT), which sneers at independence for Quebec and more generally is notorious for its indifference to the rights of oppressed peoples, such as the Catholics in Northern Ireland, today howls for “independence for Kosovo”—apparently they only champion independence for those who have imperialist sponsorship.
		Having destroyed the revolutionary internationalist consciousness of the Soviet proletariat, the Stalinist bureaucracy finally devoured the workers state, ushering in the capitalist counterrevolution of 1991-92.
		Previously a diplomatic appendage to the anti-Soviet NATO alliance, today the European Union is an unstable adjunct to the economic, military and political priorities of the European capitalists, and is directed against the workers of Europe and non-European immigrants, as well as against Germany’s main imperialist rivals, the U.S. and Japan.

		The IBT is a splinter group from the Spartacists, who are nowadays widely known and loathed as one of the most bizarre, unsavoury and cultist organisations on the international left.
		Nevertheless, even under these conditions the masses were able to give expression to their desire: not a coalition with the Radicals but the consolidation of the toilers against the whole bourgeoisie.
		From February to October, the Mensheviks and Social Revolutionaries, who represent a very good parallel to the 'Communists' and Social Democrats, were in the closest alliance and in a permanent coalition with the bourgeois party of the Cadets, together with whom they formed a series of coalition governments.

		There are plenty of people discussing communist theory, but very few in the vanguard of thinking who translate their communist conception into action and are part of Marxist-Leninist, Trotskyist organisations.
		Praxis is central to communism; theory and practice must be combined, for the philosophers only interpret the world and those who only act but do not have the necessary consciousness will invariably be limited in their actions, however sincere and genuinely opposed to capitalism and imperialism.
		I am no opponent of the discussion of communist theory, but a Marxist who only thinks as a Marxist is a walking contradiction.

		The Fourth Internationalist Tendency wished to convert the remaining SWP back to its point of view; they soon left Socialist Action to publish their own journal, the [Bulletin in Defense of Marxism]?
		Their political positions and activity are much like the Socialist Workers Party of the 1970s, before the SWP ceased its mass organizing and activism.
		While they cannot be a member of the Fourth International due to the 1940 Voorhis Act, Socialist Action maintains fraternal relations with the group as the 'unofficial' section.
