@tfb@functional.cafe True, but as a shorthand I think generally "Fourth International" in a post-1963 context would be assumed to be the USFI.
@ila Someone familiar with the history of the Trotskyist movement will be able to understand it as the USec, for sure. But they're not the only Fourth-Internationalist grouping, and that could give some readers the wrong idea. I mention it especially in the context of the cited article, where someone more familiar with the Officials may misunderstand the context.
