The International Marxist Tendency (IMT) is an international socialist organisation based on the ideas of Marx, Engels, Lenin, and Trotsky. The late Ted Grant was its chief theoretician and one of the principle founders of the organisation since its beginning, alongside Alan Woods and Lal Khan who are its best known current leaders and theoreticians. It was founded as the Committee for a Marxist International, but has referred to itself as the International Marxist Tendency since 2006. The Tendency is active in over 30 countries worldwide.

Famous quotes containing the words marxist and/or tendency:
“The Marxist analysis has got nothing to do with what happened in Stalin’s Russia: it’s like blaming Jesus Christ for the Inquisition in Spain.”
—Tony Benn (b. 1925)
“The world-spirit is a good swimmer, and storms and waves can not drown him. He snaps his fingers at laws; and so, throughout history, heaven seems to affect low and poor means. Through the years and the centuries, through evil agents, through toys and atoms, a great and beneficent tendency irresistibly streams.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
