| "Third IC Conference: Defeat for World Trotskyism" - Account of Spartacist’s expulsion from the International ... (1344 words) |
 | Spartacist editor James Robertson, a delegate to the conference, excused himself from one afternoon session, and refused later to "confess" that his absence was either a violation of principle or the expression of "petty-bourgeois American chauvinism." His failure to make the "proper apology" was deemed a departure from democratic centralism. |
| Spartacist came to the conference because we were in basic political agreement with the main positions published by the International Committee. |
| The revolutionary conviction of Spartacist is based, not on euphoric optimism, but on confidence in the working class with the leadership of a revolutionary vanguard party to become conscious of its mission to liberate society from the stranglehold of capital. |
