17 February 2017: Announcing the new Socialist Review Index (1950–1962):
In 1950 a small band of revolutionaries expelled from the British Trotskyist movement by Gerry Healy for what was later called “state capitalist revisionism” established a group and brought out a duplicated magazine called Socialist Review. Later it was printed and eventually came out in newspaper format. The group became known as the Socialist Review Group and although during the period of publication the group never numbered more than about 100 members, it nevertheless nurtured a number of people who went on to play an influential role in British politics and elsewhere. In addition to the theoreticians Tony Cliff and Michael Kidron, who laid the basis for the International Socialist tradition, these included the labour historian Raymond Challinor, the translator Peter Sedgwick, the mathematician Seymour Papert, the philosopher Alasdair MacIntyre, the trade unionist Bernard Dix and the politicians Stan Newens and Sid Bidwell. It also provided a forum for non-members such as Henry Collins and Eric Heffer. Publication ceased in 1962 after its role was replaced by the theoretical journal International Socialism and the agitational paper Industrial Worker (later Labour Worker, and later still Socialist Worker) – both of which are still being published today.
