Damn! It never rains, it pours. I only just remembered to blog about Trotskyist Platform<\/a> (a split<\/a> from the Sparts \/ International Communist League (Fourth Internationalist)<\/a>) in Australia when — Happy New Year!<\/em> — a new split emerges in the too-tight pants belonging to the International Bolshevik Tendency<\/a> (IBT) (itself a split from the Sparts). ‘Revolutionary Regroupment’<\/a>, aka<\/em> ‘Samuel’, broke with the IBT on September 25, 2008, after receiving some nasty emails and phone calls. His resignation letter, published on his site, reads as you might expect it would. Apparently, the IBT is authoritarian, has a ruling troika<\/em>, “the New Zealand section has dwindled to 4 semi-active geriatrics”, and the IBT is “a purely literary group with under 40 people worldwide” (most of whom are presumably over-40).<\/p>\n

Kinda sad really.<\/p>\n

“Because within groups like the International Socialists, within groups like the Communist Party of Canada, even within groups like the Trotskyist League, even there, you will find people, comrades, who are subjectively revolutionary\u2014who really are interested in a revolution\u2014but are stuck in a bad organization with bad politics and bad program.” ~ IBT Exchange With ICL: On \u2018Revolutionary Regroupment\u2019<\/a>, 1917<\/em>, No.30, April 2008.<\/p>\n
