  Ted Grant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The former RSL members formed the Workers International League, and Grant was to became its main theoretician after the return of Lee to South Africa and in partnership with Jock Haston.
After turmoil in the group, Grant was expelled together with Alan Woods in 1992 after a document allegedly written by their faction emerged which stated that they intended to split Militant and the CWI.
The expulsions also left Grant and his supporters outside the Committee for a Workers' International, but he and Woods were able to found the Committee for a Marxist International with international supporters.

 Ted Grant’s contribution to Marxism
Ted Grant's knowledge of Marxism is tremendously wide ranging, from economics to history, from philosophy to science.
Last, but not least, Ted's perspectives for Britain were confirmed by the huge swing to the left in the 1970s, with a massive strike wave, huge demonstrations against the anti-trade union laws of the Heath government, and a sharp turn to the left in the Labour Party and the unions.
Ted is now not as active as he would like to be for reasons of health, but his mind is still clear and alert and his conviction in the final victory of socialism undimmed.

 Militant’s Real History: In Reply to Ted Grant and Rob Sewell
Ted Grant, unfortunately, stubbornly resisted drawing this conclusion, refusing to face up to facts and believing that the attempts to return back to capitalism were of purely a temporary character.
Grant was so convinced that the coup would succeed that, as the TV reports came through on the collapse of the coup on Wednesday 21 August, he denounced them as "lies" and "bourgeois propaganda".
Grant argued that the internal position of the Labour Party had not fundamentally changed: "In the 1950s, the internal regime was marked by witch-hunts against the Bevanite left, bans and proscriptions, the repeated closure of the Labour youth organisation".

 Militant's Real History
But Ted Grant’s approach was distinguished by a dogmatic and stubborn adherence to a point of view when it was clear that he did not have the necessary feel of how a struggle was developing on the ground.
Ted Grant was and he has sanctioned this falsification, in order to downplay the role of others who came into collision with him in 1991, and what is even more "unforgivable", for him, actually convinced a majority of what he considered up to then as ‘his’ organisation.
The perception of theory and the role of ‘theorists’ of Woods and Grant is one of ‘master and pupil’, of patrician and plebs.

 Ted Grant: A Brief Biography
Ted Grant was born in South Africa, just before the first world war in a place called Germiston, just outside Johannesburg.
Ted Grant's early years in the South African group had given him a sound theoretical grounding in Marxism which placed him in good stead for the role he was to later play in the Trotskyist movement.
Ted and other comrades made contact and discussed with a layer of CP dissidents, but few gains were made, and the experiment of the RSL was wound up after possibilities within the Communist Party dried up.

Grant's journey, on the other hand, is placed a year earlier than it was in order to lend credence to his alleged leading theoretical role at this early date.
Thus on page ix of the preface we are told that 'only Ted Grant' was able to come to terms with the development of the new situation in the post-war world, and on page 82 that the RCP did this `under the theoretical guidance of Ted Grant especially'.
This is a shame, because Ted Grant's theoretical record speaks up as well as anybody's during the period, even if it has done no more than spin round on the same turntable since 1949.

4) Ted Grant's position at the end of the Second World War and subsequently, is contrasted favourably with the alleged position of the majority on a whole series of questions in the 1980s, but particularly on the collapse of Stalinism in 1989-90.
The extension of Stalinism to Eastern Europe and China, and the phenomenon of 'proletarian bonapartism; was anticipated by Ted Grant.
Ted Grant and Alan Woods did oppose our Real-Labour tactic, but this was not the decisive issue, as Roger well knows, around which the majority and minority first developed.

 The Rise of Militant: Militant Faces a Breakaway
In view of the fact that a minority, led by Ted Grant and Rob Sewell, subsequently used this decision as the main reason to split away from Militant, it is important to record that both Ted Grant and Rob Sewell voted in favour of this decision.
The argument of Ted Grant and his supporters was that the decision to stand candidates "independently" in Liverpool or Dublin, and setting up an independent organisation in Scotland threatened "40 years work".
On this and other issues, Ted Grant and his supporters were prepared to split and break away from the most successful Trotskyist organisation since the collapse of the Left Opposition.

A clear and unmudled view of reality is a necessary component for any one seeking to bring about true and profound change for the benefit of all mankind.
Grant and Woods lucidly explain from the most recent discoveries of science and technology what humanity's possibilities are, but also what present day restrictions will ultimately impede real progress.
