The current issue of Labour Review( Summer 1962) is ‘devoted to the struggles against revisionism! according to its editorial. Aftor saying that " ,..Transport House..the Communist Party...Socialist Review state capitalists and the tiny Pabloite fragmmt" are 'united' on the question that the Socialist Labour Lea gue should be destroyed, it goes on to talk of the international field. It claims that the Fourth International has been ‘virtually destroyed! and then cories to what, one feels, is the whole point of the edit rial:
"At this point, others, whose proud boast it was that they wore orthodox Trotskyists, are seeking ways and means to unify with Pablo. The parrot-cry goes up: 'forget the past! Let us not discuss the political reasons for the 1953 split with Pabolism.! In other words, allow the young cadres of the Fourth Internatjonal to flounder in theoretical confusion because some of the older members of the move— ment have abandoned Marxist theory and capitulated to Pablo. They are frightened that a discussion will smoke them out.
"This new group of revisionists would have us write history along these lines, In 1953 we had a deep-going split with Pablo, now all this is forgotten, it was, in fact, a nightmares; it never happened. Forget the past, look only to the ‘new reality'. This shameful abandonment of Trotstyist theroy constitutes the new spearhead of ‘revisionism against the Marxist movement."
Later in the editorial it declares that'"....there can be no unity betwecn the Marxists and the revisionists," Our views on this question are well known and have been set down in these columns, t+ it is worth noting again the extreme sectarianism of these people who lay claim the title of boing 'the Marxist! and who denounce all those not in their organisation as revisionists.
