The Fourth International is an international revolutionary current that fights for a democratic socialist self-managed society, free of any form of exploitation, alienation or oppression.

Organised in separate national sections, we are united in a single worldwide organisation acting together on the main political questions, and discussing freely while respecting the rules of democracy.

We think that a self-managed socialist society requires the abolition of private ownership and a break with the institutions of the bourgeois State, as well as fighting every kind of oppression and domination, whether based on nationality, gender, ethnicity or sexual preference. Our goal is to contribute, to the best of our ability, to raising the political consciousness and helping the active organization of the workers and the exploited and oppressed sectors, to fight capitalism, imperialism and any form of oppression.

We do not think that the left begins from zero, the collective memory and experience of the past makes the dreams and projects of the future possible. The Fourth International registers the continuity of the struggles for emancipation that cross the history of the labour movement.

If citing our historical references helps clarify who we are, we identify with Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, Rosa Luxemburg, V I Lenin and Leon Trotsky. The many others who have enriched our analysis and theoretical work include Tchernichevsky, Plekhanov, Hilferding, Otto Bauer, Gramsci, Georg Lukacs, Pannekoek, Alexandra Kollontai, Che Guevara, and our leading comrade Ernest Mandel, who passed away in 1995.

The Fourth International is characterised by an open, critical approach to Marxist theory. Tries to incorporate into its programme and its political practice the progressive experiences of humanity, in its fight against capitalism and imperialism, as well as the experiences of anti-racist, anti-militarist, anti-colonial, national liberation, ecological and feminist struggles, and struggles against any type of oppression..

Today, the Fourth International is present in over 40 countries. Not from nostalgia, but because of militant, political convictions. Wherever there is exploitation and oppression, there is resistance and struggle. These permanent struggles take their full power whenever they carry the perspective of a socialist emancipation of humanity. They will have a chance to succeed if and when the most conscious and energetic militants group themselves in a revolutionary socialist party, which discusses, reflects, acts, and builds roots.

For 26 years, the summer camp of the youth of the Fourth International has been a unique opportunity for activists form all over Europe to get together.

During the week from the 25^th to the 31^st July, more than 300 young people all the way from Portugal to Russia and from Scotland to the Philippines (and Belguim, Great Britain, Germany, Denmark, Switzerland, Spain State, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Sweden, Catalonia and the Basque Country too!) will assemble in Greece, developing bonds of compradeship, self-managing their vacation space and organizing a wide range of discussions concerning our era as well as socialism.

The summer camp of the Fourth international offers a week of theoretical pursuits and debates on the development of our resistance to neoliberal capitalism as well as various actions with Marxism as a focal point.

The summer camp constitutes a unique space to cultivate the exchange of ideas, views and the discussion of a variety of significant experiences. It is a field where all these experiences combine in a common, internationalist approach to our common struggles.

It is a camp committed to the cause of constructing the essential contemporary and internationalism of our era!

More than 80 workshops, thematic meetings, educational forums and sessions will take place throughout the week on the crucial, current issues of our era such as war, racism, climate change, labor demands, feminism, sexuality, youth struggles, capitalist globalization as well as global developments, focusing on the Middle-East, Latin America and the global South.

A series of discussions will be held concerning the history of the labor movement and theoretical pursuits with an internationalist, anticapitalist, revolutionary orientation.

In addition to the discussions, the location where the summer camp will take place, near the town of Ioannina, offers participants the opportunity to appreciate the scenic Greek countryside . It is an ideal spot for long nature walks.

The cost of participation in the summer camp will be approximately 80 euros (including residence and daily food).
