1998 - 60 years of Internationalism!

1998 marks the sixtieth anniversary of the Fourth International, the organisation founded by Leon Trotsky after Lenin's Third International had been irrevocably destroyed by Stalin. The Fourth International is resolutely internationalist and fights for socialist revolution and in defence of the working class and oppressed where ever it has supporters.

The Fourth International has a strong anti-imperialist record; it was central to mobilisations against the Vietnam war both In America and across Europe. More recently it opposed the Gulf war and the war against Bosnia.

The Fourth International supports the right of women and other oppressed groups to autonomy in the fight for their liberation. We have been deeply involved in fighting for women's abortion and other fertility rights.

We were key participants in last year's European marches and in the Amsterdam march that followed. We intend to continue to organise against unemployment, cuts and social exclusion and be part of the networks and mobilisations of resistance that are growing against the Europe of the bosses.

Socialist Outlook supporters are proud to be part of the Fourth International and are committed to raising money here in Britain over the next months to support its campaigning and educational priorities. That is why we are asking every reader to seriously consider making a donation, whether large or small to this appeal which will run until the end of March.
