Since the 9th World Congress
(3rd Congress since reunification) the discussion inside the
Fourth International has widened and deepened. After emerging
initially around the issue of the place of armed struggle in
revolutionary politics in Latin America, it has now spread to
the issue of the relationship between armed struggle and
revolutionary mass struggles in pre-revolutionary and
revolutionary situations in general, the present orientation
towards building revolutionary parties in capitalist Europe, the
evaluation of the present period and our tasks as precised by
the political resolution of the 9th World Congress. While
answering Comrade Hansen's arguments developed in his document In
Defense of the Leninist Strategy of Party-Building, as well
as the arguments presented by the minority document to the
December 1972 IEC Argentina and Bolivia – The Balance
Sheet, we shall try to clarify what is, in our opinion the
contents and the origins of the present differences.
- Party
Building And Armed Struggle:The Wrong And The Correct
Approach
- The Danger
of Opportunist Tail-Ending
- The
Significance of the Present Discussion in the Fourth
International
