Q1: Have the Socialist Federation/Members Charter and Your Party All-London Delegate Assembly Proscribed the Consistent Democrats and Liaison Committee for the Fourth International?

Q2. What Happened to Opposition to Anti-Communist Bans and Proscriptions?

We reproduce a statement in Portuguese, with English translation, from Humberto Rodrigues, leading spokesperson for Emancipação do Trabalho, Brazilian section of the Liaison Committee for the Fourth International, about the recent exclusions of our leading spokesperson by USFI and allied leftists from events relating to the left of Your Party:

“Neste momento, apresar das expulsões, golpes, calúnias e injustas difamações, os camaradas da LCFI britânica, mais do que nunca, devem estar orgulhosos do nome que se batizaram: Democratas Consistentes. São, na prática, os mais consequentes entre os comunistas e entre os liberais na defesa da democracia e da liberdade de expressão dos trabalhadores dentro de suas organizações políticas e na luta de partidos. De nossa parte, da LCFI do Brasil, estamos orgulhosos de sermos irmãos de DC, os melhores lutadores da esquerda da Grã Bretanha na luta contra o sionismo, que é a vanguarda mundial do nazismo de nosso tempo.”

Or in English translation:

“At this moment, despite expulsions, coups, betrayals, slanders and unjust defamations, the comrades of the British LCFI, more than ever, must be proud of the name they have baptised: Consistent Democrats. They are, in practice, the most consistent among communists and liberals in the defence of democracy and freedom of expression of workers within their political organisations and in the struggle of parties. For our part, from LCFI Brazil, we are proud to be brothers of DC, the best fighters of the left of Great Britain in the fight against Zionism, which is the world vanguard of Nazism of our time.”
