He describes himself as “a working class activist without any formal education, politically formed mainly by my experiences in a small Trotskyist group in Canada” (Memoir 2: 164). He came to Britain in 1965 to establish, with much help from his partner, Jess MacKenzie, a British Section of the Fourth International. This is when the International Marxist Group (img) was born. In this review I will limit my comments to Tate’s activities in his second volume relating to the brpf, the Vietnam Solidarity Campaign (vsc) and the International War Crimes Tribunal (iwct). Tate describes how the img came into being and some of its main person- alities: Ken Coates, Pat Jordan, Geoff Coggan, and in particular Tariq Ali. Ali was elected President of the Oxford Union in 1965 and organized the first teach-in against the Vietnam war in the uk. He was a delegate on behalf of the British Peace Committee to the Communist-dominated Helsinki Peace Conference, visited Vietnam as a member of one of the investigative commis- sions sent out by the iwct and reported his findings at the session in Stock- holm in May 1967.

(An example is An Impatient Life by the late French leader Daniel Bensaid.) While the U.S. Socialist Workers Party has been covered in books published by the SWP before its degeneration, and more recently in my own political memoir about my time in the SWP from 1960 through 1988, the Canadian movement has not received the attention it deserves. This book by Ernie Tate sheds light on an important decade of Canadian Trotskyism. It begins with Ernie being born into the Protestant working class in the British-controlled six counties of Northern Ireland. He had little formal education: âEurosoeI had left school before my fourteenth birthday, the legal age at that time for school leaving in Northern Ireland. Most of the young people in the area I grew up âEuros" Protestant working class Shankill Road âEuros" terminated their formal education at that age, or earlier if they could. In the whole time I lived in Belfast, I had never known or met anyone who had gone to a secondary school, never mind university. My family was the poorest of the poor. There was a common joke around my neighborhood that had a lot of truth to it: 'If anyone around here paid their rent two weeks in a row, the police would be visiting to see where the money came from.'âEuros (6) He recounts how the Catholic working class was even worse off and suffered extreme oppression at the hands of the Protestants.

    Hate Trotskyism, Hate the Spartacist League -a bulletin series consisting of material hostile to Trotskyism and the Spartacist League BULLETIN NO.3 -Reprint of "What Is Spartacist?" by Tim Wohlforth, Second Edition (June 1973) -Reprint of "The Wohlforth League: Counterfeit Trotskyists" from Spartacist No. 17-18, August-September 1970 -Reprint of "The Workers League and the Interna­ tional Committee: A Statement by Tim Wohlforth" 11 January 1975 -Reprint of "Confessions of a 'Renegade': Wohlforth Terminated" from Workers Vanguard No. 61,31 January 1975 Spartacist Publishing Company August 1975 Box 1377 GPO whole no.3 New York, New York 10116 $2.75 Preface In this third bulletin of the "Hate Trotskyism, Hate the Spartacist League" series we have reproduced the second edition of Wohlforth's "What Is Spartacist?" along with his .. introduction. Although Wohlforth stated (in the introduc- tion) that "nothing has been changed," in comparing the first edition with the second we found no less than 194 editorial alterations in the body of the document and more in the footnotes. These are all minor editorial changes and not major political changes, but are certainly more than "nothing." This deliberate and written lie is typical of Wohlforth's lack of concern for truth, a trait evident also in the many inaccuracies/lies in the text of the • pamphlet itself. A 2Partacist reply to this pamphlet, • published while the material was being printed in its original form in the Workers League's Bulletin, is also included. We have also reprinted his statement "The Workers League and the International Committee" in its original form just as we received it, and our commentary on the latter ("Wohlforth Terminated") from Workers Van~ard.

  • An Inquiry Into Contemporary Australian Extreme Right
    THE OTHER RADICALISM: AN INQUIRY INTO CONTEMPORARY AUSTRALIAN EXTREME RIGHT IDEOLOGY, POLITICS AND ORGANIZATION 1975-1995 JAMES SALEAM A Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor Of Philosophy Department Of Government And Public Administration University of Sydney Australia December 1999 INTRODUCTION Nothing, except being understood by intelligent people, gives greater pleasure, than being misunderstood by blunderheads. Georges Sorel. _______________________ This Thesis was conceived under singular circumstances. The author was in custody, convicted of offences arising from a 1989 shotgun attack upon the home of Eddie Funde, Representative to Australia of the African National Congress. On October 6 1994, I appeared for Sentence on another charge in the District Court at Parramatta. I had been convicted of participation in an unsuccessful attempt to damage a vehicle belonging to a neo-nazi informer. My Thesis -proposal was tendered as evidence of my prospects for rehabilitation and I was cross-examined about that document. The Judge (whose Sentence was inconsequential) said: … Mr Saleam said in evidence that his doctorate [sic] of philosophy will engage his attention for the foreseeable future; that he has no intention of using these exertions to incite violence.1 I pondered how it was possible to use a Thesis to incite violence. This exercise in courtroom dialectics suggested that my thoughts, a product of my experiences in right-wing politics, were considered acts of subversion. I concluded that the Extreme Right was ‘The Other Radicalism’, understood by State agents as odorous as yesteryear’s Communist Party. My interest in Extreme Right politics derived from a quarter-century involvement therein, at different levels of participation.

  • Dead End for Portuguese Aolsts•
    NUMBER TWENTY-ONE JULY· 1975 TEN CENTS Free the MRPP 500! Dead end for Portuguese aOlsts• reprinted from Workers Vanguard No 71, 20 June 1975 JUNE 16 -- Following sham elections for a phony "constituent as­ sembly" on April 25, the first anniversary of the overthrow of the rightist Salazar/Caetano dictatorship, the political situation in Portugal remains chaotic and without direction. The leftist leaders of the Armed Forces Movement (MFA) want to play a role "above" the classes, arbitrating between competing political fac­ tions while imposing order and discipline. But there is not the slightest consensus among the officers on what policies to impose. The MFA continues to oscillate sharply in its day-to-day conduct, first attacking and then conciliating the Socialists, at one moment nationalizing various important trusts and on the day after guaranteeing private property. In the prevailing atmosphere of confusion, a new right-wing coup attempt from within the armed forces is possible at any moment. The Portuguese Communist Party (PCP) has banked everything on being the most unconditional supporter of the MFA, yet it is under heavy pressure from its proletarian base to move against the bour­ geoisie. Their weak electoral strength clearly shown in the elec­ tions (where the PCP received 13.9 percent and its petty-bourgeois satellite, the MOP, won 4.3 percent of the total vote), the Stalin­ ists lJ!.u,st r~:peatedly 5ake to the streets,):<> Jiemonstrate their con­ tinued ability to mobilize masses of workers at crucial moments. At the same time, the PCP has sought to use the state against its left opponents, having Maoists arrested and militant unions put under military control.

Fragmentation of the Left Coalition Student Power The Worker-Student Alliance - Hard-baked FINALE CONCLUSION BIBLIOGRAPHY 2 INTRODUCTION An ASIO operative at Monash complained in 1970 that he was expected to find evidence of direct communication from Peking to The Bakery. He had indeed penetrated far into the Labor Club structure; far enough to know that this idea was wholly without substance. As ASIO explained to him, their task was to identify enemy agents so they might be quickly removed at the outbreak of hostilities.1 The Yeast is Red is a case study of the Australian new left of the late sixties. The new left initially emerged as part of a movement of growing opposition to the Vietnam War. The war shattered the previously dominant framework of ‘Cold War’ assumptions and profoundly altered the Australian political culture.2 Even though Vietnam and the associated conscription of male youths was the catalyst for the youth radicalisation of the sixties which produced the new left, the new radical consciousness was caused also by the effects of the social and cultural changes of the period.
