Greetings comrades!

Hi comrades,

I'm new to this site and thought I'd introduce myself. I'm from the Uk and part of the marxist tendency within the Labour party called socialist appeal. I'm looking forward to chatting on here and hopefully learning a lot more!

Welcome :)

If you have political questions, you can ask them in the Learning forum. That's why it's there after all!

If you have questions about your account, don't hesitate to send me a PM or ask here.

We have a few IMT members on board, although most left us for some reason. How big is the IMT these days in Labour? Is it gaining traction? I read recently (http://cpgb.org.uk/home/weekly-worker/970/socialist-appeal-waiting-for-the-class-to-move) that you're less involved with the Labour Representation Committee these days, why is that?

Thanks for your reply Q. In response to your question regarding the LRC. I'm not really sure why this is the case. I'm a member of both the Socialist appeal and the LRC and if I knew the answer I'd gladly give it to you.

At the moment we're fairly small as most of the party, especially at westminster level is dominated by blairites and careerists. In my opinion, marxist ideas are growing within the working classes in this country, but unfortunately the mainstream media, especially the daily mail, the express and the BBC like to snuff us out and call us a relic of history. Unfortunately at the same time many are now turning towards UKIP as a viable option.

The International Marxist Tendency is a Trotskyist organisation of the Ted Grant variety. Up to 1991 they were part of the Committee for a Workers' International and, in the UK, of Militant tendency. Ever since the two groups went their own ways, but still have a lot in common.
