Gerry Healy and "Orthodox Trotskyism in Britain in the 1950s
Gerry Healy, the main leader of the "Cannonites", or "Orthodox Trotskyists" in Britain during the 1950s is justly discredited because of the antics of the "WRP" in the last phase of his life. The memory of the earlier Healy, who had the guts, determination and conviction to hold some of the Trotskyists together in the general semi-collapse at the end of the 1940s, and afterwards, does not deserve to be buried under the later Healy. - Sean Matgamna.
