The International Marxist Tendency (IMT) is an international Trotskyist Tendency founded by Ted Grant and his followers following their break with the Committee for a Workers International in the early 1990s. Their website, marxist.com, is edited by Alan Woods. The site is multilingual, and publishes international current affairs articles written from a Marxist perspective, as well as a large number of historical and theoretical articles. The IMT is led by Woods, Rob Sewell and Lal Khan. It was founded as the Committee for a Marxist International, but has referred to itself as the International Marxist Tendency since 2006. The Tendency is active in over 30 countries worldwide. ==Origin== (詳細はMilitant (also known as the Militant tendency) was an entryist group within the British Labour Party based around the ''Militant'' newspaper which was founded in 1964. In 1974, Militant and its allies in Sweden, Ireland and other countries formed the Committee for a Workers' International. The organisation acquired more members during the 1970s and early 1980s and dominated the Labour Party in Liverpool. In 1983, the five members of the 'Editorial Board' of the ''Militant'' newspaper were expelled for contravening the Labour Party constitution and expulsions of Militant members continued throughout the rest of the decade. Labour leader Neil Kinnock described Militant as "a maggot within the body of the Labour Party". Ted Grant was a long time leader of Militant until it split in early 1992 over a number of issues, primarily whether to continue working within the Labour Party. The majority formed Militant Labour rejecting entryism, which subsequently became the Socialist Party of England and Wales. Grant argued that leaving Labour would amount to throwing away many decades of patient work and maintained that Marxists should remain within the party. However, he and his supporters were expelled from the tendency and together with Alan Woods they formed ''Socialist Appeal'' in Britain. The faction fight within Militant that led to the expulsion of Grant and Woods also played itself out within the CWI with supporters of the Grant minority leaving to form the Committee for a Marxist International in several countries, particularly Spain. At its World Congress in 2006, the organisation was renamed the International Marxist Tendency (IMT). Woods is editor of the British section's journal ''Socialist Appeal'' and of the IMT website, ''In Defence of Marxism'' (Marxist.com). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「International Marxist Tendency」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
