International Committee of the Fourth International

The International Committee of the Fourth International (ICFI) is the World Party of Socialist Revolution.

The International Committee of the Fourth International is the sole representative of the historical continuity of the struggle waged by Trotsky, dating back to 1923, to defend the principles, program and heritage of the 1917 October Revolution.

The Fourth International was founded in 1938 in response to catastrophic defeats of the working class caused by the crimes and betrayals of the Stalinist and social democratic parties and organizations. In the founding document of the Fourth International, Trotsky declared that the crisis of mankind is the crisis of revolutionary leadership.

The International Committee was founded 15 years later, in November 1953, to defend the Fourth International against an opportunist and revisionist current, known as Pabloism, that sought to liquidate the Fourth International into the parties and organizations controlled by Stalinism, social democracy and bourgeois nationalism.
