Rebuilding the Fourth International: Resolution of the International Committee

[p015] REBUILDING THE FourTH INTERNATIONAL the struggles of the international working class, because it develops as a living part, the conscious and most vital component, of these struggles. The Inter- national Committee declares that the Fourth Inter- national founded by Leon Trotsky no longer exists. The International Committee has been built in the course of the struggle against Pabloite revisionism, and as such is the continuator of the Fourth Inter- national, without any implication that the IC is there- by ‘the new leadership of the Fourth International’. It is not a new international which must be built, but the Fourth International which must be rebuilt, for during the last 27 years its founding programme has expressed correctly the strategy of the international 63 socialist revolution. It has no less importance for the struggle for the proletarian revolution than had the Communist Manifesto for the Marxist method and the fundamental aims of communists. In its appeal for the reconstruction of the Fourth Inter- national, the IC must show clearly the indissoluble link between this reconstruction and the building of revolutionary parties in every country, as the path to the victory of the socialist revolution. The International Committee sets itself the objec- tive of holding a conference of its constituent sections with the aim of defining for the next period the tasks of rebuilding the Fourth International.
