You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.234.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:36, 2 January 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''International Revolutionary Marxist Centre''' was an international association of left-socialist parties.  The member-parties rejected both mainstream [[social democracy]] and the [[Third International]].

==Organizational history==
The International was formed in 1932, following a fringe meeting at the [[Socialist International]] conference in Vienna in 1931.  The IRMC underwent a variety of names.  It was initially called the '''Committee of Independent Revolutionary Socialist Parties''' and later the '''International Bureau of Revolutionary Socialist Unity''', but throughout the period it was generally known simply as the '''London Bureau''' (and nicknamed by some the '''3½ International''', in an analogy with the so-called [[International Working Union of Socialist Parties|2½ International]] of 1921-3), although its headquarters were transferred from London to Paris in 1939 (on the grounds that in addition to the French affiliate, five parties-in-exile had their central committees there).  Its youth wing was the [[International Bureau of Revolutionary Youth Organizations]].

For a period, the IRMC was close to the [[Trotskyist]] movement and the [[International Left Opposition]]. In the early 1930s, [[Leon Trotsky]] and his supporters believed that Stalin's influence over the Third International could still be fought from within and slowly rolled back. They organised themselves into the International Left Opposition in 1930, which was intended to be a group of anti-Stalinist dissenters ''within'' the Third International. Stalin's supporters, who dominated the International, would no longer tolerate dissent. All Trotskyists, and those suspected of being influenced by Trotskyism, were expelled.<ref>[[Joseph Stalin]], [http://www.marx2mao.com/Stalin/ICRD28.html "Industrialisation of the country and the right deviation in the C.P.S.U.(B.)"], ''Works'', Vol.11, pp. 255-302.</ref>

Trotsky claimed that the [[Third Period]] policies of the Comintern had contributed to the rise of [[Adolf Hitler]] in Germany, and that its turn to a [[popular front]] policy (aiming to unite all ostensibly [[anti-fascist]] forces) sowed illusions in [[reformism]] and [[pacifism]] and "clear[ed] the road for a fascist overturn".  By 1935 he claimed that the Comintern had fallen irredeemably into the hands of the Stalinist bureaucracy.<ref>[[Trotsky]], [http://www.marxists.org/archive/trotsky/1935/xx/fi.htm "Open Letter For The Fourth International"], ''New Militant'', August 3, 1935.</ref>  He and his supporters, expelled from the Third International, participated in a conference of the London Bureau.  Three of those parties joined the Left Opposition in signing a document written by Trotsky calling for a Fourth International, which became known as the "Declaration of Four".<ref>[http://marx.org/history/etol/document/1930s/four.htm "Declaration of the Four"] ((webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110718092851/http://marx.org/history/etol/document/1930s/four.htm |date=2011-07-18 )), ''The Militant'', September 23, 1933.</ref> Of those, two soon distanced themselves from the agreement, but the [[Netherlands|Dutch]] [[Revolutionary Socialist Party (Netherlands)|Revolutionary Socialist Party]] worked with the International Left Opposition to declare the [[Fourth International|International Communist League]].<ref name="rocky">[[George Breitman]], ''[http://www.bolshevik.org/history/Tr-breit.htm The Rocky Road to the Fourth International, 1933–38]''</ref>

The Spanish section merged with the Spanish section of ICO, forming the Workers' Party of Marxist Unification ([[POUM]]). Trotsky claimed the merger was to be a capitulation to centrism.<ref>John G. Wright, [http://www.marxists.org/history/etol/writers/wright/1946/08/trotsky.htm "Trotsky's Struggle for the Fourth International"], ''Fourth International'', August 1946.</ref>  The [[Socialist Workers' Party of Germany]], a left split from the [[Social Democratic Party of Germany]] founded in 1931, co-operated with the International Left Opposition briefly in 1933 but soon abandoned the call for a new International.

The secretariat of the International Centre remained with the British [[Independent Labour Party]] (ILP) for all but one of the eight years 1932–1940.  [[Fenner Brockway]], ILP leader, was chairman of the Bureau for most of this period, while in 1939, [[Julián Gorkin]] of the POUM became its secretary.  By this time, the Bureau had member parties in more than 20 countries, including the [[Netherlands]], [[Austria]], [[Czechoslovakia]], the [[United States]], and [[Mandatory Palestine|Palestine]].
