A friend has been a member of the SWP for many years. Works in further education
He believes himself to be very moral. We have clashed badly over recent years over his TWAW stance. Ended badly with him calling me a bigot and me calling him a misogynist
We still come across each other due to mutual friends
I've been trying to find background on the SWP but, so far, apart from snippets it's all just their own literature which still reads as though they are fighting for the working class
I know there was a big split after rape/sexual assault accusations. According to twitter/X the leaders are very wealthy
Does anyone have information or can point me in the right direction please
This is just me being interested not for arguing. He has invested too much money and time to ever recognise any wrong within the party

"You should blame Israel not Hamas"

People are responsible for their own actions.

The "they made us so it" argument is infantile at the best of times, in this case it just fuels a spiral of violence. It should clearly be possible to believe people are victims without endorsing the idea that victims can unleash any kind of revenge they feel like.

A lot of people left after the Comrade Delta scandal.

They have always done a lot of printing for other groups as they have their own facilities.

I'll have a read thanks
I think it was FILIA where the behaved really badly with shouting and offensive posters outside
Was it that one where the organisers sent an open letter to the SWP?

Weren't they also just celebrating the Hamas atrocities?

Aren't many of the trans rights placards wielded at events like SFW printed by SWP?
