Ted Grant and his fictional history of Burma
Ted Grant was a South African white Trotskyist who founded British Trotskyist groups such as Militant and later Socialist Appeal, a predecessor of the International Marxist Tendency. So-called Trotskyists who blindly follow the ideological cult of international Marxist tendencies tend to believe that Ted Grant firmly follows the ideas of Trotsky. However, some larger Trotskyist groups, such as WSWS, CWI, ISA, and so on, think Ted Grant is not qualified to be hailed as a Trotskyist leader given his pseudo-intellectual roots and his mistaken analyses on a lot of different matters.
