Why Does everyone Hate The SWP

......BiNbAg....2k1..... | 09.12.2001 21:09

Just a question....i'm not a member of the swp or anythin....honest!

Why does everyone(?) hate the SWP.
IS it because they hi-jack and takeover demonstrations.
Is it their views.
Why?

Well 'hate' is a strong word........

09.12.2001 21:22

but i dislike them. they are a bunch of reformist trots who change their 'principles' more than their clothes. they want to march us to freedom at the point of a gun. and the SPGB is much better...

here are some earlier postings from swp members that i collated from indy media.

or maybe read some of the various essays in 'an anarchist faq'

hate is not the right word at all

09.12.2001 22:55

I would also agree that hate is too strong a word.
The fact is that I dislike the SWP hierarchy as they
are simply lying bastards. Take anarchism, for
example, they constantly and knowningly misrepresent
anarchist ideas as well as events like the Kronstadt
revolt.

If in doubt, have a look at these webpages:

 http://www.infoshop.org/faq/secH2.html

 http://www.infoshop.org/faq/append31.html

 http://www.infoshop.org/faq/append34.html

 http://www.infoshop.org/texts/iso.html

 http://www.infoshop.org/inews/stories.php?story=01/10/17/4573062

On kronstadt, have a look at:

 http://www.infoshop.org/faq/secH5.html

As a general rule of thumb, if an SWP journal
references a claim, find the reference and
have a look at what is actually said. You
would be amazed by the distortions of the
source material you will find. For example,
have a look at this webpage:

In defence of the Truth
 http://struggle.ws/ws92/krons34.html

this is just one example, there are plenty
more. How can a group claim to be "revolutionary"
when they have so much contempt for both the
truth and their readers/members?

SWP are ok

10.12.2001 11:46

If you disagree with the SWP on questions of tactics then you have to argue.
If you are just against them becasue you don't like them, then I would say it is you who have the problem.
Probably you are an ex memebr who had an argument (wrongly or rightly) with the other people in your branch.

These things happened especially in the difficult times after the miners strike.

When things are hard & peiople are not listening to you then its easy to squabble with each other.

The real enenmy is the cops, the state & apathy.
If you go on demonstrations I would say you are on the same side as me.

See you at the barricades, comrade.

The Barricades

Yes mate. You will see the SWP at the barricades. Let's just hope the barricades have wing mirrors so as we can see the bastards sneaking up on us from behind, knife in hand.

Ronnie.
