The 2006 Trot Guide requires a few small additions/corrections:
There’s been a split!
Nah, just kidding. A few points of clarification though:
1) The bloke representing the SLP in Australia would probably respond better to being called DeLeon rather than Lenin. In other words, they ain’t strictly ‘Trots’.
2) Neither is the World Socialist Movement.
3) This is bad news for conservationists. It also means our count goes down, from 57, to 18, to 16. (“Thanks” gray!)
4) But wait! There’s more! I’m now going to turn my attention to the remaining Marxist parties — they have better names and more Byzantine histories than even the Trotskyist groups do. Check it out: the “Communist Party of Australia (Marxist-Leninist)”; “Committee for a Revolutionary Communist Party in Australia”; “National Preparatory Committee of the Marxist-Leninist Communist Party of Australia”.
