Trotsky self-identified as an orthodox Marxist, a revolutionary Marxist, and Bolshevik–Leninist, a follower of Marx, Engels, and 3L: Vladimir Lenin, Karl Liebknecht, and Rosa Luxemburg. He supported founding a vanguard party of the proletariat, proletarian internationalism, and a dictatorship of the proletariat (as opposed to the " dictatorship of the bourgeoisie", which Marxists argue defines capitalism) based on working-class self-emancipation and mass democracy.

International Socialists (Canada)
The International Socialists is a Canadian socialist organization which is part of the International Socialist Tendency. The IS in Canada publishes ''Socialist Worker'', an English-language monthly paper, and holds an annual Marxism conference every spring in Toronto. Early history The initial members consisted of activists involved in the Movement for an Independent Socialist Canada (better known as the Waffle), which had been forced to leave the social democratic New Democratic Party in 1972. A group of students at York University in Toronto formed a Marxist study group, and came into contact with left-Shachtmanites in the International Socialists (USA), an American group founded by Hal Draper.

The congress formally merged three Bolivian exile groups based in Argentina, Chile, and Peru respectively.
