Documents of the Leninist-Trotskyist Tendency

LTT-FI The Leninist-Trotskyist Tendency (LTT) was the result of the 1991 fusion of the Leninist-Trotskyist Tendency of Belgium and Germany, the Workers International League of Britain (which emerged from the collapse of Gerry Healy’s WRP) and a group of South African Trotskyists.

Other groups to join the LTT included the Comrades for a Workers Government (South Africa), Workers Voice (Sri Lanka), the Leninist-Trotskyist Group (Canada) and the Swedish Arbetarförbundet för Socialismen (AfS – Workers League for Socialism).

The LTT included former members of a number of Trotskyist tendencies, such as Gerry Healy’s International Committee, the United Secretariat, the Spartacist tendency, the Revolutionary Workers Party (Sri Lanka) and the Moreno-Lambert Parity Committee.

The LTT fell apart soon after the dissolution of the Workers International League in 1997.

[The LTT is not to be confused with the tendency of the same name that was established by the US Socialist Workers Party and its co-thinkers in the United Secretariat of the Fourth International in 1973].
