Lawrence and the Workers Revolutionary Party[edit]
John Lawrence was never a member of the Workers Revolutionary Party or its forerunner the Socialist Labour League having split with Gerry Healy several years before the SLL came into existence. I have therefore removed the category "Workers Revolutionary Party members (UK)".--Mia-etol (talk) 20:51, 29 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
As the category description states, "This category is for current and former members of the Workers Revolutionary Party and its predecessor organisations, the Socialist Labour League and the The Club." I have re-added the category. Warofdreamstalk 17:41, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Lawrence was attacked at the Congress as a Stalinist[edit]
Really? It seems very unlikely that anyone would have used this term, since it was not used by Cannon to describe Cochran, with whom the gap was greater. --Duncan 23:10, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The term is Lawrence's: "In June 1954 I attended the so-called World Congress of the Fourth International where I was attacked for my ‘Stalinist’ views" (note 169 in the first What Next article). Warofdreamstalk 01:20, 17 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
So I saw. I have amended the article to say that Lawrence later made that claim. However, considering the context of the time, it seems unlikely that Lawrence was moving towards Stalinism as it was understood by Lawrence and his opponents in the IS (subordination to the Kremlin). I think this is simplu sortand for saying that Lawrence was adapting to the power of the Stalinist parties. --Duncan 09:57, 17 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
@Warofdreams, did you write the article from the What's Next? sources? If so, then why not just distribute the footnotes and resolve the cleanup tag that has been here for nearly a decade? czar 04:26, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I think so, it was a long time ago! I'll take a look and I think there are some other sources out there. Warofdreamstalk 21:57, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
