The Revolutionary Workers League (French: Ligue Ouvrière Révolutionnaire) was a Canadian Trostkyist party formed on 8 August 1977 by the fusion of the Revolutionary Marxist Group and its Quebec counterpart, the Groupe Marxiste Revolutionnaire, with the League for Socialist Action.
[1] The organization marked the reunification of the Canadian section of the Fourth International and had a membership of several hundred people.
The group published a monthly newspaper in English, Socialist Voice, as well as a French-language publication, La Lutte Ouvrière.
[2] The RWL was heavily influenced by the Socialist Workers Party of the United States.
When the SWP moved away from Trotskyism in the early 1980s, a faction fight broke out in the RWL between supporters of the SWP and supporters of a Trotskyist position over the issue of Leon Trotsky's theory of permanent revolution and the nature of the Cuban Revolution.
