Thanks for the explanation. I don't know enough about politics in Germany to say how I feel either way. Is there enough forces on the radical left at this point to build something like the Left Bloc?

Hey, so what are the main differences between the two German sections of the FI in Germany?

Welcome to the ******* group!

You're welcome, comrade.

I am a dual member of the Socialist Party and Solidarity. There's a decent amount of general political similarity, but there's actually a decent amount of differences in terms of strategy and tactics that there isn't that much joint work. For example, Solidarity has been a major player in a recent "left unity" project with some other socialist and radical groups, mostly from the Maoist/New Left/POC-left tradition. The Socialist Party has not been invited into this process, though admittedly many people in the SP haven't shown too much interest.

Yeah, there don't seem to be too many USFI'ers on RevLeft (though I'm only tenuously one myself, at least as far as political affiliations go.) Most of the Trotskyists here are relatively evenly split between the CWI, IMT, and IST (including the ISO in the United States, even though they're no longer in the tendency).
