Nahuel Moreno wrote the Theses we presents today with the purpose that they served as a base to elaborate the program of the Fourth International- International Committee (CI-CI), organization arisen in 1980 as a coalition of the Bolshevik Fraction (BFC) headed by Nahuel Moreno with the Committee of Reconstruction of the Fourth International (CORCI) headed by Pierre Lambert.
This first writing was never corrected neither reprocessed, since these theses became a common text arisen of the discussion with the lambertism. That text was denominated Project of Thesis for the Reorganization (reconstruction) of the Fourth International (Correspondence International-the Truth, Bogotá, January of 1981).
It was in the Theses that we publishes today, that Moreno exposed by the first time in a complete and systematic form, the changes that he believed should be introduced in the two pillars of the trotskist conception: the Theory of the Permanent Revolution and The Program of Transition.
The last years of Moreno's life, who died in 1987, were also his richest and revolutionary theoretical production and politics. By that reason several categories and definitions of these Theses were refined and enriched -and some modified in certain measure- in later texts.
For the interested reader we point out some few of them, the most important in our opinion and Moreno's works where are the most advanced formulations:
