The continuity of the struggle for the political principles and method fought for by Leon Trotsky formed the theme of a successful rally called by the Workers Socialist League last Saturday.
Over 150 men and women workers, youth and students from all parts of the country attended the rally, which celebrated the 100th Anniversary of Trotsky's birth, and the 5th Anniversary of the founding of the Workers Socialist League.
Platform speakers explained the relevance of Trotsky's life and work to revolutionary workers today, and then went on to examine the WSL's struggle for Trotskyist politics in the trade unions, among women and among the youth.
Socialist Press editor John Lister after outlining the current political situation invited all those wishing to fight for revolutionary leadership in the workers movement to consider joining the WSL.
A film on Ireland The Patriot Game concluded the rally, which also saw a collection of over £90.
