The Left Opposition’s struggle against Stalinism

This lecture, delivered on June 9, 2020, outlines the internationalist perspective elaborated by Trotsky and the Left Opposition, which was later to serve as the foundation of the Fourth International and the contemporary socialist movement. It elaborates the intense relevance of the program of world socialist revolution, amid a global crisis of capitalism and the emergence of international struggles by the working class, exemplified by the current upheavals against police violence. The lecturer is Cheryl Crisp, a long-standing member of the Trotskyist movement. Crisp, who has played a leading role in the SEP and its predecessor organisation since 1972 is the assistant national-secretary of the Socialist Equality Party (Australia).
