Socialist Action
Socialist Action is a small Trotskyist political party in the United States. They were founded in 1983 as a split from the Socialist Workers Party loyal to the United Secretariat of the Fourth International, where they are members of the left minority. They publish a newspaper, also named Socialist Action.
Another Socialist Action is a Trotskyist political party in Canada. It is also part of the left minority of the United Secretariat of the Fourth International and is aligned with the US group of the same name.
There was also a Socialist Action grouping in the United Kingdom. It was founded as a split from the disintegrating International Marxist Group, and became increasingly supportive of Fidel Castro and the Stalinist states of the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. At the time of the split, the group was given equal status within the United Secretariat of the Fourth International with the International Group, but they are no longer affiliated.
Working with increasing secrecy in the Labour Party, they became leading supporters of Ken Livingstone. In 2001 they stopped publishing their journal, also named Socialist Action, but continue to work together as a faction, for instance in the Student Broad Left and playing leading roles in organising the 2004 European Social Forum.
