Origin

The origin of the Trotskyist Fraction is in Argentina where in 1988 a group of about 600 members of the Movement Towards Socialism Morenoite MAS were excluded. The MAS had an electoral alliance with the Communist Party closed, while an opposition was formed. This was of the opinion that the events in the USSR and Eastern Europe total required a sharp critique of Stalinism. Among the excluded, four members of the Central Committee, of which Emilio Alba Monte and Hugo Ramirez still belong to the Trotskyist Fraction or PTS, and a representative of the International Secretariat of the LIT, Leon Perez were.

The excluded initially took the name International Bolshevik Tendency (IBT ) and saw themselves as "external group " that had been wrongly excluded. From 1988 to 1990, the PTS suffered three divisions. First, a number of members returned to the MAS. Then a group merged politically at the British Workers Revolutionary Party Workers Press. Finally separated the followers of Leon Perez of the PTS to track a mass party perspective.

These conflicts reduced the PTS in early 1992 to about 150 members, but lead to the necessary political and ideological clarifications. About this time declared groups in Chile and Mexico, their support for the PTS, in which the origin of the Trotskyist Fraction can be seen. These three groups took first at the common name Internationalist fraction ( IF). 1995 Members in the PTS again reached 350

Ideological foundations

The Trotskyist group has now broken with the Morenismus and criticized its capitulation to Linksperonismus in the 70s. The political- theoretical distinction culminated in 1995 in the article Notes for a history of Argentine Trotskyism by Hugo Ramirez and Pablo Cortina in the Estrategia Internacional.
