The CRT’s posturing as an “anti-war” tendency is exposed by its unsuccessful attempt to form an election alliance with the pro-war Anticapitalistas party, which helped found Podemos.
The pseudo-left tendencies within and around the Left Party are reacting to the mass demonstrations against the neo-fascist Alternative for Germany (AfD) and the increase in strikes and protests here and internationally with a further shift to the right.
Far from offering any insight into Trotsky’s immense legacy, the meeting represented a second political assassination of the great Russian revolutionary.
The Morenoites organized around the Izquierda Diario website are demanding that the Peronist government engage in the same kind of vaccine nationalism pursued by Washington and the other imperialist powers.
How the Revolutionary Internationalist Organisation (RIO) is sabotaging the fight against the pandemic in Germany
The pseudo-left Revolutionary Internationalist Organisation (RIO), which operates around Germany’s Left Party and the trade unions, is playing a particularly nasty role in sabotaging the struggle against the pandemic. RIO is the German offshoot of the Morenoite “Trotskyist Fraction-Fourth International” (FT-CI).
In a statement entitled “#ZeroCovid: What are the tasks of the left and the working class?” the editorial board of
Klasse gegen Klasse (
Class against Class ), RIO’s online publication, feigns support for #ZeroCovid. It should be “a political goal to reduce contagion to zero and eradicate the pandemic.” The whole statement, however, is aimed at directing workers and youth toward the trade unions and establishment parties responsible for the official pandemic policy and the mass deaths.
