Since the Dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, the US has been engaged in continuous wars of growing intensity. The US seeks to overcome its economic decline by engaging in ever more reckless conflicts, in the Middle East, in the South China Sea, and in eastern Europe, which threaten to engulf the world in a new, nuclear conflagration.

The International Committee of the Fourth International, in the forefront of the struggle against imperialist war, insists that the international working class is the only force which can put an end to war. The struggle for socialism, against the unending assault on the working class, is intimately linked to the struggle against war.

Adopted by the Socialist Equality Party (Sri Lanka) at its 2011 founding congress in Colombo, this document depicts the 75-year struggle of the Fourth International in South Asia for Trotsky’s theory of Permanent Revolution. The founding in 1942 of the Bolshevik Leninist Party of India (BLPI), by leaders of the Lanka Sama Samaja Party (LSSP) who had escaped British jails in Ceylon, marked a decisive advance for the Fourth International in Asia. The document traces the rise, decline and ultimate betrayal of the LSSP, which joined the 1964 coalition government of Madame Sirima Bandaranaike, abandoning the struggle to unify the Tamil and Sinhalese working class, and opening the road to the bloody 25-year civil war from 1983 to 2009.
