Marxist Group (Germany)
The Marxist Group (german: Marxistische Gruppe, MG) was one of the largest communist organization of the " New Left" in West Germany. The program of the MG focused on the abolition of private property and of the state altogether. The group aspired to have the free-market economy replaced by social planning according to the specific needs that were present. The MG emerged from the so-called "Red Cells" (Ger.: ''Roten Zellen''), which arose in the German student movement in 1968. The MG was properly formed in the early 1970s. The MG published among other things the magazine ''MSZ - Gegen die Kosten der Freiheit'' (''Marxistische Streit- und Zeitschrift''; Marxist Argument and Magazine - Opposing the Costs of Liberty), the ''Marxistische Arbeiterzeitung'' (Marxist Workers’ Newspaper), various university newspapers, as well as the book series ''Resultate'' (Results), ''Abweichende Meinungen'' (Dissenting Views) and ''Kritik der bürgerlichen Wissenschaft'' (Critique of Bourgeoi ...

Marxist Group (UK)
The Marxist Group was an early Trotskyist group in the United Kingdom. History Its origins lay in the Communist League, one of the first Trotskyist groups in the country. Leon Trotsky advised the group to enter the Independent Labour Party (ILP), which had just disaffiliated from the Labour Party. He believed that the group should work for a " Bolshevik transformation of the party". The majority of the Communist League argued against joining the ILP in favour of maintaining an open party, but allowed thirty of its members led by Denzil Dean Harber to form a secretive "Bolshevik-Leninist Fraction" in the ILP. This difference in orientation essentially split the party, and in November 1934, sixty Trotskyist ILPers officially formed the Marxist Group. While, perhaps due to this delay and infighting, the Group never achieved the influence hoped for by Trotsky, it did win new members, including C. L. R. James, who in 1937 dedicated his book World Revolution to the group. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
International Marxist Group
:''See also the International Marxist Group (Germany). The International Marxist Group (IMG) was a Trotskyist group in Britain between 1968 and 1982. It was the British Section of the Fourth International. It had around 1,000 members and supporters in the late 1970s. In 1980, it had 682 members; by 1982, when it changed its name to the Socialist League, membership had fallen to 534. Origins The IMG emerged from the International Group, a sympathising organisation of the International Secretariat of the Fourth International (IS). Its founders, Pat Jordan and Ken Coates, had broken with the CPGB in Nottingham in 1956. They were members of the Revolutionary Socialist League (RSL) in the late 1950s (which was later renamed Militant), Jordan becoming organising secretary. In 1961, they split to form the Internationalist Group in support of the IS against the leadership of the RSL, its British section. In 1963, the ISFI reunited with the majority of the International Committee of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
International Marxist Group (Germany)
The International Marxist Group (, GIM) was the name of two German Marxist groups. The first was formed in 1939, as a breakaway from the Communist Party Opposition (KPO), and was linked to the centrist Marxist International Workers Front.Robert J. Alexander, ''The Right Opposition: The Lovestoneites and the International Communist Opposition of the 1930s'', Greenwood Press, 1981, p.153. The second was a Trotskyist group in West Germany, formed in 1968 by the International Communists of Germany (IKD) and a faction of the Socialist German Student League (SDS). The GIM served as the German section of the reunified Fourth International. In the 1950s, the IKD had entered the Independent Workers' Party (UAP) and later the Social Democratic Party (SPD). The group was involved in the Extraparliamentary Opposition (APO) movement through the early 1970s. In 1986, the GIM joined with the Communist Party of Germany/Marxists-Leninists Communism (from Latin la, communis, lit=comm ...

Revolutionary Marxist Group (Canada)
The Revolutionary Marxist Group (RMG) was a Trotskyist political organization in Canada in the 1970s. Though not a registered political party it did field small numbers of candidates in several elections. The RMG was a sympathizing section of the United Secretariat of the Fourth International, and supported the international faction led by Ernest Mandel and Tariq Ali against the faction led by the Socialist Workers Party (US) led by Joseph Hansen and Farrell Dobbs. Its main rival, the League for Socialist Action, supported the American-led faction in the international conflict within the USFI. Where the LSA was close to the SWP, the RMG was close to Britain's International Marxist Group. The RMG was linked with an autonomous group in Quebec with similar views, the Groupe Marxiste Révolutionnaire. In 1977, the RMG, LSA and GMR fused to form the Revolutionary Workers League/Ligue Ouvrière Révolutionnaire. Prominent members of the RMG included Steve Penner, Judy Rebick, Joe Flexer ...
