Cold War
The RWP declined however due to the pressures of the Cold War and formally ended its activities in 1952 with its members joining the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation as an entrist faction. A split in the Fourth International in 1953 had ramifications in the RWP and in Dowson's own family. His brother Murray and brother-in-law Joe Rosenthal formed a pro-Pablo minority, and split from the RWP to form a Trotskyist tendency within the Cooperative Commonwealth Federation (CCF). It soon disappeared.

Famous quotes containing the words cold and/or war:
“It was so cold I almost got married.”
—Shelley Winters (b. 1922)
“... the next war will be a war in which people not armies will suffer, and our boasted, hard-earned civilization will do us no good. Cannot the women rise to this great opportunity and work now, and not have the double horror, if another war comes, of losing their loved ones, and knowing that they lifted no finger when they might have worked hard?”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
