	Juan Ponce: Jorge Villaran (Obituary) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		The Lambertists initially considered the Brazilian PT as a reactionary party which has to be boycotted.
		In all of them the idea was to try to invite as many “left” bourgeois figures (like Cardenas in Mexico) and trade unions bureaucrats (like the COB leadership in Bolivia) into events that would not decide nothing and would substitute the fight for a revolutionary international with joint proclamations against the IMF.
		The lambertist international accused him of stealing the party print-shop and Villaran and the rest of the PT expelled him.

	The Strange Monsieur Lambert (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		Not Lambert: he was close to the Mouvement National Algérien (MNA) of Messali Hadj, the great rival of the FLN during the first years of the war – the two movements killed each other’s members across all the four corners of France – to the point of printing its pamphlets.
		The Lambertists presented the MNA as the resurrection of the Bolshevik party, which wasn’t lacking in wit: in 1957 one of the officials of the MNA, Bellounis, would create a resistance movement thanks to the arms and logistical support of the French army.
		The central thesis of the Lambertists, from 1967 until the mid-1970s, was that the forces of production worldwide – broadly speaking the totality of the material means of production – had ceased to grow in 1914.

		These "Lambertists" claimed to be the "true" PCI and opposed the "liquidationists" and "Pabloists" who had expelled them.
		The Lambertists joined the British Socialist Labour League (SLL) and the American Socialist Workers Party in forming the ultra-orthodox International Committee in 1953, and renamed their group the Internationalist Communist Organization in 1956.
		In 1971, the Lambertists left the International Committee (the American SWP had left in 1963) and began pursuing a secret campaign to enter and take over the French Socialist Party.

		Secondly, however sectarian one is, it is on the whole unwise to exhibit your weakness in front of the class, as the LCR and Lambertists are doing.
		One Lambertist supporter has said to me that it is impossible to support Arlette since LO will call for abstention in the second round.
		Very simple, call for a vote for Arlette and if you desire a good spat with other leftists aim your fire at the Lambertists and the LCR by calling on them to withdraw their candidates and build a broad campaign for Arlette.

	Weekly Worker 515 Thursday February 12 2004
		Among the Trotskyists, the dominant tendency was the Morenista PSTU, part of an international tendency then centred in Argentina, though the Loristas (Bolivian-centred) and the Lambertistes also had some forces; they split from one another in 1979, leading to a short-lived unity of the Lambertistes and Morenistas.
		The Lambertistes have had a rather longer-term orientation, but one still governed by the fundamental goal of building their own tendency by denouncing the PT leadership as a scab grouping.
		The result is a multiplicity of little ‘Cominterns’ with the role of Moscow played by Paris (Lambertistes), London (currently the SWP’s International Socialist Tendency, the Socialist Party’s Committee for a Workers’ International, Workers Power’s League for the Fifth International, etc), New York (the Sparts) and so on.

	Unrepentant Marxist: French Trotskyism
		The revolutionary organisation is not part of the class - 'the companion in struggle' as Tony Cliff argued that genuine Marxists should be - but is composed of outsiders, who support workers' struggles, aim to educate the class, but remain separate from it.
		There are also two books on the Trotskyist movement from the LCR and the Lambertistes respectively: "Les trotskysmes" by Daniel Bensaïd and "Le trotskysme et les trotskystes" by Jean-Jacques Marie.
		Frankly, it came as a bit of a surprise to learn that he was a full-time organizer for the Lambertistes in the 1970s since his book on Algeria seems fairly devoid of a sharp class analysis.

	A TROTSKYIST SHADOW OVER FRANCE William Pfaff
		He is presumed to have done so as a Lambertist infiltrator, concerned to counter the influence of the Trotskyists' old enemy, the Communist Party.
		However, this account is complicated by the fact that a tactical alliance of sorts seems to have emerged between the Lambertists and Francois Mitterrand, head of the newly unified socialist movement.
		He says that none of this should legitimately interest the public, although he offers no details concerning his political evolution or his actual connections with the Lambertists during the years since 1971, when he says he began to act fully as a socialist militant.

		However, this means that slanders against the Lambertists are allowed to gain currency within the far left in Britain, because the FI/ICR does not consider such small groupings worthy of their attention.
		The Lambertists are not building a cult of mystical influence' as Bourseiller and Martin Thomas claim they are.
		The Lambertists may or may not be all the things their critics in other organisations such as the USec say they are it may be that they did or didn't do all the things their enemies accuse them of!

	French Perspectives
		The policies of the LCR (Mandelist) and of the PCI (Lambertist) are in fact thoroughly opportunist and reformist.
		The "left" in the union is controlled by the "Lambertists", a corrupt and completely degenerate sect that has managed over the years to infiltrate the structures of FO.
		It is on their insistence that FO refuses to march jointly on Mayday demonstrations with the CFDT or the CGT, which they do not recognise as genuine workers organisations.

		In his opinion, this mistake was committed because he had never thought that Lambert and the OCI might actually capitulate to the French Popular Front for it was his belief that that the weakness of the Lambertist trend was in their sectarism and not in their being prone to opportunism.
		If Moreno were alive today and tried to prove the relation between the majority of the revolutionary left (including the Brazilian Lambertists) and Lula’s Popular Front administration, he would not need all that sharpness that he needed 20 years ago.
		Lula moved along his path and now he is the president of the country, at the head of a Popular front administration, which, incidentally, is one of the most anti-workers and pro-imperialist governments in the history of Brazil.

	Appeal for the establishment of a left tendency in the Fourth International for the XIII World Congress
		It should be added that, as for the Lambertists, they proved in practice the "orthodoxy" of their policy by rallying to the side of the "democratic" counterrevolution in Portugal even more overtly than the SWP/US.
		In place of "leftism" and "vanguardism," the International majority exhumed the old, classically centrist concepts of "unity of the workers' movement" as a strategy, "unconditional" support for the formation of national or local "left" governments, and adaptation to the bureaucratic reformist left in the trade unions and parties.
		On the contrary, we must develop a broad discusthat clarifies positions and differences and leads, on clear bases, even with different positions, to principled unifications of the forces that, in spite of their present confusion, maintain sufficient links with the Trotskyist program.

		They claim to have got about 7-8 lorries with relief supplies to the affected areas but have much less information about Pakistan on their website than the Socialist Appeal Group.
		Thirdly there is the Lambertist organisation which is very small in Pakistan but has a presence in the Trade Unions.
		To use religious language what would LDT say to this were he to descend from heavenly bliss (presumably the SWP thinks he would have to be torn from the arms of his 76 virgins) apart that is from horrid expletives?

		This situation - brought about in large part because of in-fighting between the open reprentatives of the bourgeoisie - went against the trend of much of the voting, which tended to see voters supporting the parties already in power in their town which, in most cases, was the right.
		However, the most decisive lesson of the first round was probably the confirmation of the collapse of the Communist Party (PCF) and the growth in support for far-left candidates, principally Lutte Ouvrière (31 councilors elected), but also the LCR (25 councilors) and even the Lambertist PT (12 councilors).
		In some towns such as Toulouse, new radical reformist currents (‘Motivé-e-s’) appeared and were able to gather up to 12% of the electorat and have an important influence in the outcome of the second round (18 March).

		They were not able to recover from the disastrous decision to boycott the 1994 liberation elections and only received 0.27 per cent of the vote.
		The Socialist Party of Azania (SOPA), a split from AZAPO with links to the international Lambertist current, received insufficient votes to be represented in either the national or provincial parliaments.
		The parties that had positioned themselves to the left of the ANC were unable to tap into those sections of the population disillusioned with the ANC 's failure to meaningfully change their lives.

		They all speak constructively and to the point, and the attention of the 150 activists packed into the meeting hall does not flag for the whole six hours of the meeting.
		True, the three biggest French groups aren’t there: the “mainstream” neo-Trotskyist LCR, Arlette Laguiller’s organisation Lutte Ouvriere, and the “Lambertist” Parti des Travailleurs — though minorities from LO and LCR do attend.
		Yet the LCR and LO have a much better record of debating their ideas openly and honestly than do groups like the SWP and the Socialist Party/Militant in Britain, with their pretence that they alone are “the” socialists and that they need take no account of the ideas, activities, or even existence of other groups.

		The rather scurrilous jab of "Lambertist" and "Workers World Party" origins of the MWM is just so much bunk.

		In it he accused the MWM being nothing more than a Lambertist manifestation organized around the, and I kid you not "A Benjamin-Shoenman Axis".

	International Trotskyist Review #1 - The Crisis of the Fourth International and the Tasks of Consistent Trotskyists (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		The FIT stands clearly on the left among the "Trotskyist-centrist" forces, but it holds revisionist positions on a number of fundamental questions, which have checked its leftward movement since its break from the Lambertist trend in 1979.
		In particular, the FIT has failed to provide a frank assessment of its current forces' support when in the OCRFI for even the most reactionary Lambertist positions—for example, hailing the "democratic" counterrevolution led by the Socialist Party in Portugal in 1975.
		The failure to draw this balance sheet flows from the fact that the FIT has yet to break its theoretical ties to the centrist revisionism of the main forces which have degenerated from the "anti-Pabloite" International Committee.

		The confrontation with the representative of the Lambertist group was particularly sharp.

		To defend the “one and indivisible Republic” in Turkey today means not only a capitulation to the bourgeois Kemalist State and ideology but also a denial of the national aspirations of the oppressed Kurdish people…

		For example, maintaining openly sindicalist policies, they transformed the tactic of the demand on the reformist leaders for the "workers united front" into a strategy for struggle, leaving out the picture the layers of the proletariat that were not included in the narrow definition of the unions which themselves were subordinated to their bureaucratic leaderships.
		A clear example of such adaptation was the PT and the bureaucracy of the CUT implemented by the Brasilian PSTU or the more general policies praised by the Lambertist currents.
		In order to consider an example in another continent where a centrist current also spoke in the name of Trotskyism and was a force which proved to be impotent we shall look at Brasil.

	May 1968
		A first current (between a fourth and half of the participants, but which hardly expresses itself) wants simply to reform the university, and [thus] risks following the recuperation led by the Leftist professors.
		A second current, which is larger in number, wants to pursue the struggle until the Gallist regime, or even capitalism, is destroyed (all the known Leftist nuances -- among them, the Federation of Revolutionary Students, Lambertist Trotskyists, who are seriously discredited for condemning the barricades).
		A third position, held by a small (but listened to) minority, expressed by a declaration of Riesel (who will communicate it to you as soon as possible), wants the abolition of classes, the salariat,[3] the spectacle and survival, and that demands the absolute power of Workers Councils.

		Not long ago, comrades of the "Collectif Pour la Défense du Communisme" (Collective for the Defence of Communism) sent us a denunciation of the social-democratic and "lambertist" character of the ICC ("social-democratic shit"), along with the quotations upon which they based their statements, taken from the periodical published by the ICC in France.
		In it, the ICC labels all those who went on to direct action in the struggle of March 1994 as being agents provocateurs in the police's pay.

		Fraenkel was expelled from the OCI in 1965 and, in the interview, speculates that maybe someone else took charge of Jospin.
