Torch
1973 — 1984

Torch  was the journal of the Revolutionary Socialist League in the U.S. The RSL originated in the Revolutionary Tendency within the International Socialists (U.S.) (IS) led by Sy Landy and Ron Tabor. They had three principal differences with the IS: they believed that the IS had abandoned strict adherence to Trotskyism; they felt that the emphasis on the day-to-day work within the trade unions diminished propagating the revolutionary objectives outlined in the transitional program; and they felt that the USSR and the other Communist states were state capitalist, rather than bureaucratic collectivist.
