Workers Fight (1967-1976) (original) (raw)

Two series of publications under the title Workers' Fight were produced by the forerunners of the organisation now (since 1992) called the Alliance for Workers' Liberty, in 1967-9 and 1972-5.

The 1967-9 series was eight duplicated (roneographed) issues of the magazine produced by the Workers' Fight group in 1967-8, before it merged with IS (forerunner of the SWP) in late 1968, and reorganised as the Trotskyist Tendency within IS/SWP, and one issue produced by the Trotskyist Tendency in 1969.

The Workers' Fight group had been formed by a few activists who had been pushed out of the Militant group (Revolutionary Socialist League), some of them with a previous background in the Socialist Labour League. Their primary activity after being pushed out of the Militant group in 1966 was with the Irish Workers' Group, and mainly in the production of the IWG magazine An Solas/ Workers' Republic, but they also issued a call for the regroupment of the Trotskyist left in Britain and followed up by producing the Workers' Fight magazine for circulation in the British labour movement.

The 1972-5 series was 114 issues of a newspaper produced between early 1972 and late 1975 by the reconstituted Workers' Fight group formed after the Trotskyist Tendency was expelled from IS/SWP in December 1971 after vigorously objecting to IS/SWP's change of line on the European Union (then EEC) to a "keep Britain out" position. (IS called the expulsion "reversing the fusion" of 1968).

After Workers' Fight merged with Workers' Power (the former Left Faction of IS/SWP, expelled from the IS/SWP in late 1975) to form the International-Communist League, the Workers' Fight paper was replaced by a weekly called Workers' Action.

[We have only a very fragmentary collection of _Workers Fight_ of which close to 100 were published it's eight years of existence. We will add more as the Splits and Fusions blog adds them to their collection. We want to thank them for insuring the preservation of this valuable project by letting the ETOL copy this files.]
