Better-Late-Than-Never Faction Fuses with Internationalist Group

http://www.internationalist.org/bltnfuseswithig1608.html

On August 27, the Better-Late-Than-Never Faction of the International
Communist League, expelled by the Spartacist League/U.S. last April,
joined with the Internationalist Group, U.S. section of the League for
the Fourth International in a common organization. The fusion came after
three and a half months of joint work following extensive political
discussions in May. A high point of the joint work was participation by
the BLTN comrades in the Second National Conference of the Grupo
Internacionalista in Mexico, and first-hand experience with the roiling
teachers strike in which the GI has been heavily involved. The fusion
has not only resulted in the establishment of a Los Angeles local of the
IG, but together with the formation of the Nucleo Internazionalista
d’Italia by the former leaders of the Italian section of the ICL, it
marks a major step forward for the LFI internationally. More than four
months after the BLTN Faction submitted its declaration, the SL/ICL has
yet to answer it politically. But their silence will not shield these
ex-Trotskyists from the expelled faction’s devastating challenge to
their tattered credentials. The fusion confirms the validity of the
LFI’s orientation looking to revolutionary regroupment on the solid
programmatic ground of authentic Leninism and Trotskyism.
