Debate

At the conference of the ISM held on Sunday 14th January 2001, a decision was taken that the International Socialist Movement will leave the Committee for a Workers International. This followed a protracted 3 year debate centering on the future for the SSP and the role of Marxists in creating new parties of the working class.
