International Bolshevik Tendency (IBT)
The International Bolshevik Tendency (IBT) is a Marxist organization fighting for international working-class revolution to overthrow global capitalism. We take our inspiration from the 1917 Russian Revolution led by Lenin’s Bolsheviks and solidarize with Trotsky’s Left Opposition in its struggle against the Stalinist degeneration of the Soviet Union. Today, we look towards reforging Trotsky’s Fourth International, world party of socialist revolution, on the basis of a revolutionary program.
