The Trotskyist Fraction – Fourth International is an international association of Trotskyist organizations that claims to follow the political legacy of the Fourth International and aims to reforge it. It was formed by groups which arose as the "Internationalist Bolshevik Faction" within the IWL-FI in 1989. Regarded at first as an "external fraction" who had been wrongly expelled from 1988 to 1990, the PTS had three splits: first when a number of militants returned to the MAS, then when another group of militants sympathized with the British Workers Revolutionary Party (Worker Press) and the third when supporters of León Pérez (former member of the International Secretariat of the IWL) decided to follow a mass party perspective (as opposed to a vanguard party). These splits forced the PTS to make a balance and self-criticism, resulting in a further development that mainly questioned the update of the Transitional Program (the so-called the "Theory of Democratic Revolution") that the leader of the IWL Nahuel Moreno made, understanding it as an opposition to Leon Trotsky's Theory of Permanent Revolution. In 1993 it emerged as the Trotskyist Fraction - International Strategy, founded by the PTS of Argentina, the LTS of Mexico, the LOR of Bolivia and with the additions of the Estratégia Revolucionaria (Revolutionary Strategy) group of Brazil and the Clase contra Clase (Class against Class) group of Chile as well as some militant sympathizers in Europe. In 2004, in its second international conference, coinciding with the congress of the Movement for the Refoundation of the Fourth International also met in Buenos Aires, the TF decided to change the name "International Strategy" to "Fourth International". Following the economic crisis and demonstrations in several countries, the TF-FI has grown in Latin America and Europe and now promotes the formation of a new grouping: An International Movement for a Socialist Revolution - Fourth International.
