On March 25, 2003, Privacy International (a GILC member organization) announced the winners of the 5th Annual UK "Big Brother" awards to the government and private sector organisations that have done the most to invade personal privacy in Britain.

His column for Socialist Outlook, which he kept up until illness struck in the summer, pulsated with his fury against the burden of debt, the scourge of HIV, the profits of the multinationals, and the hypocrisy of Blair's new Labour.

The Socialist Party is a class party whose aim is to socialize the means of production and distribution, that is to transform capitalist society into a collectivist or communist society, and to adopt as its means the economic or political organization of the proletariat.
The Socialist group in Parliament must refuse the Government all the resources which ensure the power of the bourgeoisie and its domination, must refuse, therefore, military credits, credits for colonial conquests, secret funds and the whole of the budget.

 Internationalist Group Founded
The I.S.í conception that a group of experienced class-struggle militants such as the Brazilian LQB, "as former leaders of mass workersí organizations at the local level," could not possibly accept the ICLís program testifies in fact to a profound loss of confidence in the Trotskyist program by key elements of the ICL leadership.
The program of international socialist revolution is bound up with the very nature of the imperialist epoch, in which we are still living and in which humanity is not only not progressing towards social emancipation but is experiencing wholesale social regression across the board.
Reflecting the pressures of the anti-Soviet Cold War, the Fourth International was wracked by a crisis engendered by Pabloist revisionism, which denied the need for an independent Leninist-Trotskyist vanguard of the proletariat and instead chased after a variety of non-proletarian false leaderships, from Tito in the late 1940s to Castro and Mao in the í60s.

Part of the International Committee of the Fourth International (ICFI), which is the group led by the American SWP which split from the Fourth International in 1953.
A small minority grouped around Gerry Healy did not remerge with the International and carried on, although Healey himself split with his WRP in 1985/6, ironically to follow the Pabloist road which he had left the original Fourth International to avoid in 1953.
Formed largely from WSL members, this group is now buried in the anti-racist Campaign for Justice; with the larger American group RWL it forms the stupidly-named International Committee for the Political Regeneration of the Fourth International (ITC).

 Labor Standard 4 for web
The longest existing socialist group in the United States is the Socialist Labor Party, whose roots go back to 1876 but which became transformed in 1890 under the leadership of an original but rigid thinker named Daniel DeLeon, and which for many decades has been little more than a rather static educational group.
Two groups of activists breaking from the Stalinist tradition and reaching for more democratic perspectives are the Committees of Correspondence (which was initiated by a split-off from the Communist Party in the early 1990s) and the Freedom Road Socialist Organization (which long ago broke away from the Revolutionary Communist Party).
Socialist Action has much more substantial roots in the traditions of American Trotskyism, and while it identifies critically with the Fourth International (the worldwide organization of revolutionary socialist groups established by Leon Trotsky), it very much sets its own policies.

 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.
In more recent years, the ISG has constituted itself as apologist for the SWP’s more crass manoeuvres in the Socialist Alliance and there were even negotiations about the ISG joining the SWP.
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.

DISCUSSION DOCUMENT OF EX-SWP COMRADES The IS tradition (Socialist Review Group, International Socialists, SWP, and the international organisations affiliated with this tradition) has carried out some of the most important theoretical work in the post-war left and has organised tens of thousands of revolutionaries in the course of over thirty years activity.
This work would take place on the basis of the fundamentals of IS theory (state capitalism, theory of deflected permanent revolution, permanent arms economy, etc.), while at the same time criticising the theory of party and class (leadership, democratic centralism) developed by the tradition in the late 60's and early 70's.
Our experience of the RDG and other groups means that we believe it would be a mistake to set up a long term agitational orientation towards the SWP, imagining that it is possible to win the party to a set of programmatic and organisational demands.

Remarks by an IBT supporter at a public meeting of the Toronto International Socialist group on Islamophobia held on 1 March.
In Britain, however, the leaders of the International Socialist tendency, hoping to ingratiate themselves with Muslims, recently supported Tony Blair’s law banning "religious hatred."

 Racist Anti-Muslim Provocations Trigger Islamic Reaction
In one of the stranger international incidents of recent times, a collection of crude anti-Muslim cartoons in a Danish provincial newspaper set off a whirlwind of Islamic outrage in the Near East and demonization of Islam in the West.
For decades fascistic Christian groups have waged a deadly war against abortion clinics and their doctors, and the drive against women’s rights by clerical reaction continues unabated, as recently demonstrated by the abortion ban in South Dakota (see “Defeat the Crusade Against Abortion,” on page 38 of this issue)..
The Socialist Workers Party in Great Britain and their international allies are slightly less forthright, but don’t have any problem in deliberately confusing opposition to the racist provocation with political support to the Islamic campaign.
