Revolt was the paper of the Revolutionary Workers League lead by Thomas Stamm in published beginning in 1938. The RWL Led by Hugo Oehler and Stamm had formed in opposition to the ‘French Turn’ of the Fourth Internationalists, a change in orientation to left developing Socialist Parties and split with American Trotskyists at the founding of the Workers Party in 1935. Fighting Worker and the RWL at first positioned themselves as oppositional Trotskyists, but by 1937 refuted Trotsky and his international movement as ‘degenerate.’ The date of Trotsky’s degeneration causing an organizational split, along with questions of orientation, between the group’s founders and, for a time, two rival Revolutionary Workers Leagues with papers called Fighting Worker. Stamm’s smaller group soon changed their paper’s name to Revolt. George Spiro (George Marlen) also left around this time to form the minuscule, but loud, Leninist League and the published In Defense of Bolshevism. Revolt ceased publishing in 1941, though Oehler’s Fighting Worker continued on for another decade, by around 1950 all of these groups had ceased to exist.
