You mean one of the largest sectarian left groups, which is like the 
proverbial big fish in a little pond. Here's something from their website. 
With a background like this, I doubt that they'll ever lead a socialist 
revolution. No, I take that back. With a background like this, they will 
never lead a socialist revolution.

From 1968 on the PO began to develop international relations with the POR 
(Partido Obrero Revolucionario: Workers Revolutionary Party) of Bolivia, 
led by Guillermo Lora, and with the OCI (Organisation Communiste 
Internationaliste) of France, led by Pierre Lambert, calling for the 
reconstruction of the IV International after the foquist adventure of the 
USFI in Latin America dispelled any doubts about its nature (before 1968, 
the PO did not accept the proposal advanced by a leader of the USFI of 
joining the PRT in order to make an alliance with the fraction of 
Santucho). In 1971, after the split of the so-called ?International 
Committee of the Fourth International? between the sections led by Healy 
and Lambert, the PO founded, together with the OCI and the POR, the CORQI 
(Comité de Organisation pour la Reconstruction de la Quatrième 
International), in which it would stay, while waging furious internal 
struggle, until 1979. In that year the CORQI split when the PO and the POR 
left, after the OCI?s attempt to bureaucratically stop the debate by means 
of a provocation. The debates in the CORQI turned around basic questions of 
revolutionary politics, such as the nature of the Popular Assembly (1971), 
the unions and the national bourgeoisie in Latin America (and the backward 
countries in general), and the United Anti-imperialist Front, and were 
stopped when, at the PO?s initiative, they began to turn towards the 
Lambertist stageist strategy, which became evident in the coming years.
