The Armed Workers' Movement for a Global Revolution (also known as the Armed Workers' Movement, the AWMGR, the AWM, the Fifth International, the Resistance, and the Revolution) is a global leftist group - comprised mostly of communists - that was formed from a unification of several major organizations (such as the EZLN, Palestinian Liberation Organization, and many communist and socialist political parties) in Prague, Czech Republic.

The international spokesman and official diplomat - althought not the leader - of the group is [{Ajene Xola]]. The organization is headed by the elected representatives from the member groups. This committee goes by the name of the Convention for Defense or the Defense Convention.

History

The Armed Workers' Movement officially began on [[wikipedia:May 1}May 1, 2004]], after a meeting was called by the Zapatista Army of National Liberation to discuss a unified organization meant to bring about leftist revolutions around the world. The meeting attendees included Subcomandante Insurgente Marcos (EZLN), Yasser Arafat (PLO), James O'Connel (INLA/IRSP), Martin Guinness (Official IRA), and many others. It was held in a meat-packing warehouse in a delapidated section of Prague. The meeting ended with the brainstorming of a global group seperated into many smaller cells that could incite revolution in many different countries. This idea is a direct example of Leon Trotsky's global revolution - in contrast to Stalin's "socialism in one country."
