Raymond Molinier (1904–1994) was a leader of the Trotskyist movement in France and a pioneer of the Fourth International.[1]
Molinier was born in Paris. In 1929, founded the journal La Vérité,[1] and in March 1936 he and Pierre Frank co-founded the Parti communiste internationaliste, which merged with two other groups to form the Parti ouvrier internationaliste in June of that year.[2] At the outbreak of World War II Molinier was abroad and only returned after the cessation of hostilities. He was later active with the Ligue communiste révolutionnaire (LCR).[1] Eventually, he moved to Latin America under the name of "Leon Droeven".[3]
