- REUNIFICATION EFFORTS OF THE FOURTH INTERNATIONAL
-
- * Both FIT and Solidarity (USA) organizations just recently
- merged into one organization, under the banner of Solidarity, and
- the publication (BIDOM) which was formerly the official journal
- of FIT became an independent socialist publication.
-
- * Delegates to the eighth national conference of the Fourth
- Internationalist Tendency (FIT), meeting in Pittsburgh, Pa, on
- September 19th voted to approve the following motions: (1) "This
- conference approves the unity of the Fourth Internationalist
- Tendency and Solidarity," and (2) "At the conclusion of its
- agenda, this conference formally terminates the independent
- organizational existence of the Fourth Internationalist Tendency
- as it is presently constituted."
-
- * The division within the ranks of the U.S. Fourth
- Internationalist was a result of a series of expulsions from the
- Socialist Workers Party in the early 80s, of which Socialist
- Action was also apart, however discussions to unify SA with
- Solidarity failed. There are other groups ( The Milwaukee
- Revolutionary Socialist Group, the Trotskyist League and
- individuals) within the Fourth International that have also
- expressed a desire to cooperate in building a movement through
- common political work, but have not joined in this partial
- reunification. An attempt is being made by Solidarity and BIDOM
- for an eventual unification of all supporters of the Fourth
- International.]
