Independent Revolution or iRevo was a tendency within the youth organization REVOLUTION, consisting of the sections in Germany, Switzerland, the Czech Republic and Australia. They left REVOLUTION in 2007, refusing to remain affiliated to the League for the Fifth International, forming a separate international of youth organisations while keeping the REVOLUTION name. The Australian section soon became inactive. The three remaining sections renamed themselves and their international Revolutionary Internationalist Organization (RIO) in January 2010. At the same time, they ceased to refer to themselves as youth organisations. RIO membership is open to people of all ages.

In common with the partisans of the L5I in the Czech Republic, the members of RIO joined the New Anticapitalist Left (NAL) party in 2009. By early 2011, members of RIO were expelled because of inactivity and avoiding organization's goals and actions.

RIO joined the Trotskyist Fraction - Fourth International (FT-CI) in June 2011 after a prolonged period of discussion. RIO thus ceased to exist as a separate international, its two sections in Germany and the Czech Republick became sympathizing sections of the FT-CI. The Czech group ceased to exist shortly after while RIO in Germany became a full section of the FT-CI.
