  Michel Pablo: The 4th International (1958)
The International Left Opposition drew the conclusion that thenceforth it was necessary to work for the construction of new revolutionary Marxist parties and a new International.
Thus began a new period in the pre-history of the Fourth International, running from 1933 to 1938, during which the movement for the formation of a new International, the Fourth International, was launched.
The Fourth International, on the contrary, considers that the best way to defend the USSR and to complete the building of socialism In that country, is constantly to broaden the economic base of socialism by working for the victory of the Revolution in other countries, for the victory of the World Revolution.

 International Revolutionary Marxist Centre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The International Revolutionary Marxist Centre was an international association of left-socialist parties.
The International was formed in 1932, following a fringe meeting at the Socialist International conference in Vienna in 1931.
The secretariat of the International Centre remained with the British Independent Labour Party for all but one of the eight years 1932-1940.

 Appeal for the international reorganisation of the revolutionary marxist movement
For revolutionary marxists the knowledge of acts, of repression, cruelty or violence towards individuals or groups, even if these acts were authorised or controllable, is not in itself a decisive element in the condemnation of stalinism or of any other regime.
It is therefore a fundamental condition for the rebuilding of the international revolutionary movement that the traditions of chauvinistic politics shown in the support of the 1914-18 and the 1940-45 war alliances, popular fronts, guerilla resistance and national liberation, are equally condemned.
The centre of the communist movement must not succumb to it, even where the discipline is firmly established that the choice of timing and form of action over all the front is left to the centre.

 [No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
The Marxist emphasis on social class is “reductionist” because classes are dissolving; the principle political points of departure are cultural and rooted in diverse identities (race, gender, ethnicity, sexual preference).
The post- Marxists try to justify their organisational vehicles (NGOs) for upward mobility by arguing that they operate outside of the state and in “civil society” when in fact they are funded by foreign governments to work with domestic governments.
The focus of the Marxist concept of solidarity is on the common action of the same members of the class sharing their common economic predicament and struggling for collective improvement.

 Internationalism and international links
While revolutionary socialists should aim to be part of an international organisation it is not true that this has to be the case at every moment, as a look at the history of the workers’ movement will show.
When the Second International was launched in 1889 it brought together much broader forces in the form of the new mass workers’ parties which were being formed in Europe in the last quarter of the 19th century.
Internationals are not built by ideological pre-selection, but by bringing together forces that are capable of meeting the challenges facing the working class at a particular period.

 Declaration of the Revolutionary Internationalist Movement (RIM)
It is important that the revolutionary elements in both kinds of countries be educated to understand the nature of the strategic alliance between the revolutionary proletarian movement in the advanced countries and the national-democratic revolutions in the oppressed nations.
The social-chauvinist position that would deny the importance of the revolutionary struggle of the oppressed peoples or their ability, under the leadership of the proletariat and a genuine Marxist-Leninist party, to lead to the establishment of socialism is still a dangerous deviation to be combated.
The desire to spread the revolutionary movement of the 1960s to the proletariat and to merge with the workers, inspired to no small degree by the experience of the revolutionary youth in the Cultural Revolution, was a powerful and correct revolutionary sentiment which, however, became stifled and distorted under the influence of economism.

 International Marxist Group - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The International Marxist Group (IMG) was a Trotskyist political party in Britain between 1964 and 1987.
The IMG emerged from the International Group, a sympathising organisation of the International Secretariat of the Fourth International (IS).
According to New International 11, it was expelled from the Socialist League in January 1988, one week before a conference at which its platform would have had the majority.

 To Build the Workers' International: Refound the Fourth International
Observing were delegates from Voix de Travailleurs (Workers Voice, France), the Greek Section of the CWI (Committee for an Worker International), Valter Pomar (Vice-President of the PT from Brazil) and organizations of the Greek left such as NAR, a split from the Greek CP.
Globalisation sought to overcome a regime that was characterized by the subordination of all the national currencies to the dollar on a scale never seen before, that is to say, by the subjection of the monetary regimes of each country to the politics of the Federal Reserve of United States.
The Asian devaluations were the first manifestation of an international rupture of the national currencies with the dollar, of a threat to the decline of the dollar as a currency that acts as the face of international fianancing, through the competetion of the countries which devalue their currencies.

 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.

 International Communist Conference in Moscow
The conference was organised by the International Centre for the Development of the Contemporary Communist Doctrine.
The participants of the Conference confirm their adherence to the understanding of Marxist science that the mechanism for the forward development of class-divided society is class struggle, in which the role of the moving and directing force is played by the contemporary working class armed with the Marxist-Leninist ideology.
The International Conference on 'Class Analysis in The Modern Communist Movement' condemns the atrocities of the Turkish fascist regime and its imperialist masters against Kurdish and Turkish workers and toilers in general and thousands of communist, anti-fascist and national liberation captives in particular.

 International Marxist-Leninist Conference in Dominican Republic
At the theoretical plane it is necessary to deepen and enrich Marxism-Leninism in direct relation with revolutionary practice, in the actual conditions of class struggle which is marked by a reactivisation of the workers' and peoples' movement at the international plane.
The International Conference, moreover, gave its support to the resolutions of the Moscow Conference organised by the International Centre for the Development of Modern Communist Doctrine, held in the previous month which are given elsewhere in this journal.
The revolutionary armed struggle, despite the setbacks, is a reality, a valid road for the conquest of popular power, for the revolution and socialism.

 Marx in Post-Marxist   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
We admit that Marxist theory may be out of fashion but it has not run out of conceptual fuel for providing the kind of analysis urgently needed at this point in the history of capitalism.
Marxist criticism uncoils the political economy of texts by remapping and rethinking systems of signification in relation to the material and historical practices that produce them (McLaren, 2000), thus valorizing the "structural endurance of histories" over the "contingent moment" (Ahmad, 1995, p.
We believe that a critical reflexive Marxist theory -- undergirded by the categorical imperative of striving to overthrow all social conditions in which human beings are exploited and oppressed-can prove foundational in the development of current educational research traditions as well as pedagogies of liberation.

 Role and tasks of the Fourth International
Only the revolutionary left is currently in a position to take the initiative for anti-capitalist recomposition and keep it on course with a radical, pluralist, socially rooted project with a mass character.
This is not in order to compete with and defeat other international revolutionary currents, but in order to contribute as much as possible to building a new force while clarifying the essential theoretical lessons to be drawn from the experience of 20th century revolutions.
The conclusion is that a revolutionary Marxist organization must be capable of demonstrating that it has a specific political function to fulfil in day-to-day activity, mass work and the movements.

 Lenin: Opportunism, and the Collapse of the Second International
Social-chauvinism and opportunism are the same in their political essence; class collaboration, repudiation of the proletarian dictatorship, rejection of revolutionary action, obeisance to bourgeois legality, non-confidence in the proletariat, and confidence in the bourgeoisie.
Marxists in Germany, France, and other countries have always stated and insisted that opportunism is a manifestation of the bourgeoisie’s influence over the proletariat; that it is a bourgeois labour policy, an alliance between an insignificant section of near-proletarian elements and the bourgeoisie.
[10] “Revolutionary mass action”—such tactics “would have a certain justification if we were immediately on the eve of a social revolution in the very same way, for instance, as, was the case in Russia beginning with the student demonstrations of 1901, which were the forerunners of approaching decisive battles against absolutism”.—Ed.

 The Communist International
The congress, which declared itself the founding congress of the Communist International, sent forth a manifesto "To the proletarians of the whole world" in the hope of rallying workers everywhere to side with the cause of revolution and to break with the false promise of bourgeois democracy.
The 3rd international, in a radical departure from the precedents set by both the 1st and 2nd internationals, was no longer to be a series of national parties, but a single communist party with branches in different countries.
It was to be a directive centre of a world revolution, a far cry from the "mailbox" concept that had shaped the secretariat of the 2nd international.

 FIGHTBACK | marxist.ca - Perspectives for Canadian Workers -- 2006
As seen by the documents of the International Marxist Tendency (www.marxist.com), the general tendency is for increased revolutionary movements on a world scale.
The chief obstacle in the path of transforming the prerevolutionary into a revolutionary state is the opportunist character of proletarian leadership: its petty bourgeois cowardice before the big bourgeoisie and its perfidious connection with it even in its death agony.
Marxists orientate towards the mass organizations of the working class because we understand that the laws of history and the working class are stronger than any bureaucracy.

 To Build the Workers' International: Refound the Fourth International - Athens Declaration, 8 th March 1999   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
The combination of the economic wounds with the insurgency of the masses leads the bourgeoisie to important political changes, in which under the form of governments of the "centre-left", in a rightest form, the formulae of class collaboration typical of the popular fronts are renewed.
In the framework of these and other struggles, the question of the international political unity of the workers is posed as the specific objective for all the organizations that struggle.
The objective of the Workers' International should be consciously and consistently defended, through the elaboration of a transitional programme and the construction of an organization.

 Statement of the International Marxist Tendency for the 16th World Festival of Youth and Students
But where the revolutionary mobilisation of the masses has become an inspiration and an example for workers and youth around the world is without doubt in Latin America, and particularly in Venezuela and Bolivia.
Their aim is to paralyse all revolutionary initiatives, create economic chaos and create demoralisation among the masses that support the revolution – as they did in the past against the revolutions of Chile and Nicaragua - so that they are able to go on the offensive again and defeat the revolution.
A revolutionary victory so close to home, aside from inevitably spreading to other Latin-American countries, would also lead to the further integration of both economies and would strengthen the struggle against the imperialist blockade and the plans of the capitalists to restore capitalism on the island.

The formation of RIM was accomplished only a few short years after a coup in China reversed the gains of Maoist revolution and proceeded on the hell-bent path of restoring capitalism--and trashing the idea of Maoist revolution in the world.
There are the great changes and dislocations the imperialist system has increasingly brought to the planet--forcing millions from countryside to cities, and even from their homelands to the rich countries where they are viciously exploited and persecuted.

 Bolshevism and Trotskyism
In the middle of last year, Marxist Bulletin supporters received a document from the Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB) which stated their desire to ‘clarify the attitude of a number of Trotskyist organisations and individuals towards the project of revolutionary unity at this stage’.
In our view, Lenin’s most important political contribution to the Marxist tradition was on the Party question – rejecting the social democratic notion of a party of the whole class in favour of a disciplined, democratic-centralised combat party composed of only the most advanced workers.
Some of Lenin’s other important contributions are his analysis of the nature of the imperialist epoch, his programme for addressing the national question, his development of the tactics of the united front, and his recognition of the importance of the proletarian vanguard championing the interests of the specially oppressed.

Marx, a 19th century socialist philosopher, economist, journalist, and revolutionary, often in collaboration with Friedrich Engels, developed a critique of society which he claimed was both scientific and revolutionary.
Similarly, the use of Marxist theory in politics, including the social democratic movements in 20th century Europe, the Soviet Union and other Eastern bloc countries, Mao and other revolutionaries in agrarian developing countries have added new ideas to Marx and otherwise transmuted Marxism so much that it is difficult to define its core.

Revolutionary Social-Democrats in the various countries recognise the collapse of the Second International and the need to create a Third International.
Marxists in Germany, France, and other countries have al ways stated and insisted that opportunism is a manifestation of the bourgeoisie's influence over the proletariat; that it is a bourgeois labour policy, an alliance between an insignificant section of near-proletarian elements and the bourgeoisie.
Such parties as the Social-Democratic parties of the Second International used to be are useful and necessary to the opportunists because they engendered the socialists' defence of the bourgeoisie during the 1914-15 crisis.
