  Workers' Internationalist League   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
The Workers Internationalist League was a Trotskyist group in Britain founded in the summer of 1983 by the Internationalist Faction of the Workers Socialist League.
Although a small group, it immediately moved to producing a paper which was called Workers' International News in mimicry of the journal of the war-time Workers International League.
The WIL was being pulled in different directions by other Trotskyist tendencies, with the TILC, PO and the Workers Power group all representing different poles of attraction.

As lower paid workers, let alone those faced with long-term unemployment, will be quite incapable of taking out fancy private pension and insurance schemes, they can expect a lifetime of drudgery to be followed by an old-age of penury.
The most drastic blow dealt by the socialist government against workers' conditions was the introduction of many new schemes which allowed employers to bypass existing labour legislation on the national minimum wage and on redundancy and dismissal terms.

 1938 Socialist Workers Party Resolution on the Young Peoples Socialist League (Fourth Internationalist)
In the revolutionary struggle against capitalism and fascism, the ability of the Socialist Workers Party to attract the youth is of paramount importance.
There existed, and to some extent still exist, notions among the youth to regard the normal role of the youth organization as that of a political party for young workers standing on an equal basis with the SWP, as the party of the adult workers.
Sweeping changes both in the character and orientation of the league are required at once.

The League was named after Spartacus, leader of the largest slave rebellion in the history of the Roman Republic.

In reviving the labor party demand, the Workers League was striving to reassert the central and leading role of the American working class in the struggle against US capitalism and, at the same time, to elaborate a viable strategy for the development of the revolutionary movement.

 International Trotskyism - China: The Communist League   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
The conference established the Communist League of China and adopted Trotsky’s document “The Political Situation in China and the Task of the Bolshevik-Leninist Opposition” as its “programmatic base.” It also elected a Central Committee, with Ch’en Tu-hsiu as its secretary general.
The Communist League also began publishing an “open” periodical, Warm Tide, which was said to have “gained wide influence among general readers, including members of the Chinese Communist Party.” This influence was the result of increasing disillusionment of CCP members with the policies of the party’s Stalinist leadership [52].
Concerning their relationship to the CCP, the League recognized that it must continue to criticize the party politically, but as far as the anti-Japanese war and the defense of the Soviet Union were concerned, it was necessary to cooperate in actual activities.

 Maoist Internationalist Movement Document   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Why MIM's attitude toward "leftist" groups by the Maoist Internationalist Movement Hank Roth recently commented that MIM incorrectly stresses that there is one road into socialism and hence does not "work" with other "leftists." Indeed, the plethora of "socialist" organizations out there is daunting to the inexperienced.
The vast majority of "socialists" are doing something with proven results--in South Africa: They USED oppressed Black workers to whatever extent they could for the benefit of white workers' demands.
So for "O'Brien," organizing white workers is a success and with that as a measuring rod he not surprisingly concludes that the revolutionaries have been a failure.
