With reference to your pamphlet "Anatomy of Apartheid,"
published by the Socialist Workers Party (SWP, 4th
International,
Trotskyist) in New York City in 1966, which issued
"The Militant"
newspaper:
A Social-Democrat group published a song entitled "The
Last
International " intended to be
a parody on the numbers assigned
to the various Socialist and Communist organizations.
The lyrics were as follows:
" THE LAST INTERNATIONAL
We are the members of the
Last International (repeat twice).
Everything we do is very
logical and rational.
Because we are the members
of the Last International.
There won't be any more.
There was the First (Socialist),
Second (Social-Democrat),
Third (Stalinist) and
Fourth (Trotskyist)
Internationals.
But we are the members of
the Last International.
There won't be anymore.
We're out to get some characters
known locally and
national because they are
the enemies of the
Last International.
And when they're taken care
of by the Last International,
there won't be anymore."
Regardless of the numbers assigned to the various
Internationals, they all add up to 1984.
Please send this message to the Crew.
Thanks.
