	Socialist History Project
		The League for Socialist Action is committed to unconditional support of the New Democratic Party in its aim to place workers’ and farmers’ governments in Ottawa and the provinces.
		It solidarizes itself with all actions which heighten the consciousness of the Canadian working class of the real situation confronting them; it supports any action which further cements their unity against capitalism and which would strengthen their capacity to struggle and project them towards the achievement of a workers’ and farmers’ government.
		Despite the campaign of lies and distortions about the socialist viewpoint we are confident that developing realities, together with the conscious participation of all who consider themselves socialists, around such a program as we have outlined, will make the NDP a powerful leap forward on the march to a socialist Canada.

		These actions, coupled with campaigns against private businesses in the south, induced the flight of about 700,000 Chinese and middle-class Vietnamese from the country 1978–79, often by sea (the ‘boat people’).

	The Militant - August 26, 2002 -- Letters
		Anna was an unassuming person who felt that she did not have the depth of political understanding that she would have wished, but she had an unerring working-class response to world events.
		She was active in the York Committee to End the War in Vietnam and was involved in the defense of the Cuban Revolution.
		Discussing her life in the last months before her death, it was obvious that she counted the 11 years she worked in the socialist movement as the most important years of her life.

	Some Reflections on the Socialist Labour League (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The Socialist Labour League was founded in order to extend the work inside the Labour Party at a time when a more leftward development inside the trade unions and industry is gradually getting under way.
		In other words the formation of the Socialist Labour League was a strategic modification of our total entry policy to a new situation which could not have been foreseen when out movement entered the Labour Party in 1947.
		The open work of the Socialist Labour League at this stage must therefore be subordinated and organized in such a way as to facilitate the growth of the Marxist movement inside the Labour Party and the trade unions.

	Ozleft (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		This incident, and the formation of the Victorian Socialist Left, led to informal discussions taking place between a variety of malcontents on the left, most of whom were activists in the Vietnam antiwar struggle and a number of whom had been recruited to the ALP in opposition to the Groupers.
		Instead, Peter Westerway criticised the draft Socialist Objective on the grounds that it failed to present alternative methods of control to those of public control and nationalisation and successfully moved for the question of the Socialist Objective to be referred back for further consideration.
		The tactics used on this occasion by the Socialist Workers League, and its successor, the Socialist Workers Party, were to be used on several occasions in other areas in the years to come and did a great deal to denigrate the ideology of Trotskyism in the eyes of left activists.

	Weekly Worker 518 Thursday March 4 2004
		Socialist Action has recently achieved some prominence as a result of the role of its members, ex-members or supporters among Ken Livingstone’s salaried political advisers at the Greater London Authority, and the resulting central role of GLA official and SA leader Redmond O’Neill in organising the London European Social Forum.
		Socialist Action has its origins in the Socialist League (formerly the International Marxist Group), between the late 1960s and mid-1980s the British section of (the Unified Secretariat of) the Fourth International, the major Trotskyist ‘international’.
		Socialist Action, with its overt collapse into Stalinist politics, is merely an extreme example of political ideas adapting themselves to the leadership’s bureaucracy.

		LSA comrades were themselves of the working class, and spoke of its struggles with authority.
		The LSA’s orientation to build its forces in industrial unions turned out to be an ideal base from which to link up with revolutionary-minded students and to win significant members of that new generation to revolutionary socialism.

		Moreover, Jerry saw the necessity for socialists to go through the experiences of the working class if they are ever to hope to win the respect of that class.
		But he remained faithful to Trotsky's ideas and to his transitional approach for socialist involvement in unions and labor parties, and it was because of this that Jerry continued to be so effective.
		After so many years, his decision in his last days to rejoin the ranks of Trotskyism as a member of the socialist feminist FSP was an enormous tribute not only to his new party, but to his own undimmed faith in his class and optimism for the future.

		Such is the aim, the purpose, the intention of the League for Socialist Action.
		It means that those socialists who seriously organize and fight for the correct policies are in a position to make great gains towards the objective of making the New Party really a “new party”.
