==End of the Right Opposition== The ICO began to disintegrate in 1933. With the coming to power of the Nazis, the German party had to go underground and establish an exile branch in Paris. Paris was also the new home of the international ICO headquarters, which became dominated by the Germans. The Norwegian and Swedish groups left later that year to join the new "centrist" [[International Revolutionary Marxist Centre|International Buro for Revolutionary Socialist Unity]] (or London Bureau) established in Paris that August. The Czechoslovak affiliate was weakened by the defection of its Czech members in December, making the party a largely [[Germans in Czechoslovakia (1918β1938)|Sudeten German]] group at a time when that community was becoming increasingly attracted to the Nazis. The Austrian group had to go underground after the [[Engelbert Dollfuss|Dollfus putsch]] of March 1934, and the majority of the Alsatian section was expelled that summer for its pro-Nazi sympathies. The Swiss affiliate went over to the Social Democrats in 1936, and [[M. N. Roy]] took his Indian group out in 1937. Furthermore, the suppression of POUM in May 1937 and the execution of Bukharin and other "rights" in the Soviet Union had convinced many that the Communist International could not be reformed and the idea of being an "opposition" within it was untenable.{{sfn|Alexander|1981|p=287}} At a conference in February 1938, the International Communist Opposition affiliated with the London Bureau. This led to some confusion as to whether affiliates of the ICO were also affiliates of the London Bureau as organizations themselves. To straighten out this overlapping another conference was held in Paris in April 1939 which dissolved both entities into a new organization, the [[International Revolutionary Marxist Centre]], to be headquartered in Paris. Membership in the new group was quickly ratified by the ILLA, the KPO, POUM, PSOP, the ILP, and the Archeio-Marxists. It ceased to exist after the fall of France.{{sfn|Alexander|1981|pp=290β293}} A few groups continue the tradition of this current today. The Gruppe Arbeiterpolitik in Germany is one such group.
