LONDON — Alan Harris, a decadeslong leader of the communist movement in
the U.K. and internationally, died here March 26, just short of his 87th
birthday.
He contracted coronavirus while hospitalized after suffering a major stroke.
Harris served for many years on the United Secretariat of the Fourth
International. He was a leader of the Communist League in the U.K. and a
founding
member and leader of its forerunner, the International Marxist Group. In
the 1960s, while living in Vancouver, British Columbia, where he worked
as a truck
driver, Harris was part of the leadership of the League for Socialist
Action.
Restrictions on travel and meetings in the U.K. and internationally mean
it is not possible at this time to organize a meeting to celebrate
Harris’ political
life and contributions. The Communist League is preparing such an
appreciation for a coming issue of the Militant.
