Alan Woods (political theorist) Alan Woods (born 23 October 1944 ) is a Trotskyist political theorist and author. He is one of the leading members of the International Marxist Tendency (IMT), as well as of its British affiliate group Socialist Appeal. He is political editor of the IMT's "In Defence of Marxism" website. Woods was a leading supporter within the Militant tendency within the UK Labour Party and its parent group the Committee for a Workers' International until the early 1990s. A series of disagreements on tactics and theory led to the expulsion from the tendency of Woods and Ted Grant, who founded the Committee for a Marxist International (soon renamed International Marxist Tendency) in 1992. They continued with the policy of entryism into the Labour Party. Woods has expressed particularly vocal support for the Bolivarian Revolution in Venezuela, and repeatedly met with the socialist President of Venezuelan Hugo Chávez (in office 1999-2013), leading to speculation that he was a close political adviser to the president.
