| Abstract: |
The Revolutionary Workers League of the U.S. was a Trotskyist group organized in 1935
by the Left Wing Group of the Workers Party, who had been expelled from the Workers
Party (U.S.). The records contain letters and reports (1936-1937) written from Paris
and Barcelona by League members Hugo Oehler and R. Martin, largely relating to political
developments in the Republic of Spain from a Trotskyist perspective. The collection
also includes printed ephemera in Spanish distributed by Spanish Leftist groups. Also
included are sixteen folders of material compiled for "special issues" of International News, an internal bulletin of the Workers Party (U.S.), Left Wing Group. The bulletins
reproduce documents relating to predecessor organizations, including the Communist
League of America, and discussions pertaining to the formation of the Fourth International;
correspondence in these files includes two 1933 letters to Oehler from James P. Cannon
on the letterhead of the Communist League of America.
