Proletarian Military Policy
The Proletarian Military Policy was a policy adopted by the Fourth International in response to World War II.[1] It was an attempt to apply transitional demands such as trade union control of military training and the election of officers to transform what it characterised as an imperialist war into a revolutionary struggle against Nazism.[2] The policy provoked controversy within the Trotskyist movement with some seeing it as a concession to social patriotism.[3]
