Alfred Rosmer
Alfred Rosmer (1877 - 1964) was a syndicalist leader before World War I and one of the few leaders of that movement to oppose the war from a revolutionary internationalist position. A friendship with Leon Trotsky dated from that period when the latter was living in Paris. After the war he became a leading figure in the Communist Party of France before being ousted as early as 1924 for opposing Stalinism and the elimination of the old Bolsheviks, as that party underwent so called Leninisation. He then became a leader of the early Trotskyist movement only to drop out of politics in 1932. Nevertheless he remained a convinced revolutionary and his friendship with Trotsky was later repaired. The founding congress of the Trotskyist Fourth International was held at his home outside Paris.
