Revolutionary Workers' Party (Trotskyist)
- Revolutionary Workers' Party (Trotskyist)
The Revolutionary Workers' Party (Trotskyist) is a socialist political party in the United Kingdom, based in Birmingham.
It was founded in 1962 by members of the Revolutionary Socialist League who supported the Fourth International of J. Posadas when it split from the International Secretariat of the Fourth International. The group began working on the "European Marxist Review" and publishing "Red Flag". It supported Sinn Féin, the Black Panther Party and also worked within Labour Party Young Socialists.
In the early 1970s, the party suffered a major split, with supporters of Dave Douglass leaving to form the Socialist Union (Internationalist).
The remainder of the party remained loyal to Posadas' line. It now has a very low level of activity, but occasionally publishes "Red Flag".
