Fourth International

The Fourth International is a socialist organization founded in 1938 by Leon Trotsky and his supporters. It aimed to unite groups committed to Marxist principles and oppose Stalinism. The name reflects its position as a successor to the earlier Internationals, which sought to promote international socialism. The Fourth International advocates for a revolutionary approach to achieving a socialist society worldwide, emphasizing the need for working-class solidarity and internationalism. It believes that the failures of previous socialist movements necessitate new strategies and alliances, focusing on grassroots activism and global cooperation among leftist groups.
