Today, the ICL considers the statement of the Fourth International which the IG upheld as fully valid today (and which was repeatedly endorsed by the ICL in the past) to be “insufficient” and thus no longer valid, because of what it terms a “qualitative,” “deep” or “historical retrogression in the political consciousness of the workers movement and the left internationally.”
Sa kasalukuyan, kinukonsidera ng ICL ang pahayag ng Ika-Apat na Internasyonal na pinaninindigan ng IG na may buong bisa sa kasalukuyan (na kung saan paulit-ulit namang iniindorso ng ICL noong mga nakaraan) bilang “kulang” kaya naman wala nang bisa, dahil sa pagkakaroon diumano ng isang “kalitatibo,” “malalim,” o ng isang “makasaysayang pag-atras sa pulitikal na kamulatan ng internasyonal na kilusang manggagawa at kaliwa.”
