8 ANNIVERSARY SUPPLEMENT The following letter rally.
Dear comrades, Best wishes to your Third National Convention and for the Fourth International Rally. In Australia and in the United States many sectors of the left are in retreat from class-struggle politics. The work of regrouping revolutionary Marxists can sometimes be daunting.
Our forces here are small but we are inspired by recent mobilizations of Aborigines, teachers, high-school students, lesbians and gay men, proabortion forces, and trade unionists—all of whom have decided to come out fighting against the new right-wing government in New South Wales.
We are inspired, too, by the example set by the comrades of the Fourth International in the United States and around the world. The political and organizational contributions made by the Fourth International remain indispensably valuable in the class struggle in so many countries around the world.
Warmest greetings to you all in celebrating 50 years of proud and principled struggle. Long live the Fourth International.
