WHAT DOES MILITANT TENDENCY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Militant tendency

The Militant tendency, previously the Revolutionary Socialist League, was a Trotskyist entryist group working within the British Labour Party which was based around the Militant newspaper founded in 1964. According to Michael Crick, its politics were influenced by Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, Vladimir Lenin and Leon Trotsky and "virtually nobody else". In 1982, a Labour Party commission found Militant in contravention of clause II, section 3 of the party's constitution, which among other things, rendered political groups with their own "Programme, Principles and Policy for separate and distinctive propaganda" ineligible for affiliation. Militant was proscribed by the Labour Party's NEC in December 1982, and the following year, the five members of the Editorial Board of the Militant newspaper were expelled from the Labour Party. At this point the group claimed internally to have about 4,300 members, a figure which may be generous. Further expulsions of Militant activists followed. Meanwhile, Militant dominated Liverpool City Council between 1983 and 1987 when 47 councillors were banned and surcharged.
