 International Marxist Group - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This happened in 1964, but very soon the former International Group members split to form a new International Group, and in 1965 the USFI demoted the RSL to a "sympathising" group after which the RSL continued on the road to becoming well known as the Militant Tendency.
In 1968, the International Group renamed itself as the International Marxist Group, and gained some public prominence when Tariq Ali was widely publicised in the media as a leader of protests against the Vietnam War.
The IMG began to focus on work in the student movement and abandoned its earlier work within the Labour Party; this led to a small number of members being expelled who went on to form the Revolutionary Communist League.

 Declaration of the International Bureau for the FI on the English Marxist Group
The Bureau for IV International must take note that this important turn is in contradiction to the decisions of the conference which was held four week previously, and that it rests solely on the basis of the decision of the majority of the London Group (16 to 6).
The Executive Committee of the Marxist Group ought to have called a new conference on this subject, preceded by a report and a discussion of a fundamental character involving all the members.
The decision of the Marxist Group to create an independent organisation has a result which is all the more disastrous because the fusion of all the groups, which the Geneva Conference characterised as an urgent necessity, will be obstructed by it.

 1993 Patterns of Global Terrorism Report
The WTC bombing is considered an act of international terrorism because of the political motivations that spurred the attack and because most of the suspects who have been arrested are foreign nationals.
It is unclear whether the group, some of whose members were arrested by Turkish police, were involved in the anti-Rushdie campaign in Turkey or linked to any of the several hundred murders of secular Kurdish activists in eastern Turkey that have been blamed on so-called Turkish Hizballah groups.
Groups that have been responsible for terrorist attacks are the Armed Islamic Group (AIG), the Movement for an Islamic State (MIS), the Army of the Prophet Muhammad, the United Company of Jihad, and the Armed Islamic Movement (AIM).

 Letter to the Communist League of Struggle   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The Lovestone group is consistent in its denial of the independent historic role of the Communist Party.
That group approves up to today the policy of the Comintern in regard to the Kuomintang and the British Trade Unions; that is to say, the capitulation in principle of Communism in the one case before the bourgeoisie and in the other case before the lieutenants of the bourgeoisie within the working class.
Certainly, in a number of partial questions, the Lovestone group has taken a position more correct than the official party but to conclude a bloc with the Lovestone group would mean to augment its general authority and by that to help it to fulfill its reactionary historic mission.

 Weekly Worker 478 Thursday May 1 2003
Via a whole series of splits, realignments and cruel historical ironies, this is what remains of the dynamic but politically unstable, student-based International Marxist Group, which was prominent in the anti-Vietnam war movement of the 1960s and led - amongst others - by Tariq Ali.
The ISG and its ‘international’ adhere to a formally democratic approach to party culture, with rights for open factions - obviously not acceptable to the bureaucratic SWP mandarins, so that was the end of that.
Anatomy of the hard left: For the tens of thousands of people mobilised against the war on Iraq who have been drawn towards political action for the first time, the myriad of groups on the far left must seem bewildering.
