My experiences of the SWP

I have had some bad experiences of the SWP in my time, I used to be a member at one point, but saw how they operated and bailed out ASAP. The SWP are a party that continually are flitting from campaign to campaign, from ultra left soundings to oppurtunism. In fact they are quite reformist at heart, they have no faith in the working class, this is shown in their lack of any support amongst the working class. The SWP are continually on a mission to 'recruit' & 'sell papers'.Their internal party structures are a lot to be desired, it is simply run from the top down with a complete lack of democracy. This is also evident in their cover groups such as the Irish Anti War Movement and Globalise Resistance. They are impossible to work with for any length of time at a campaign, due to their habit of dropping of things to go to the latest campaign. Just look at the War, to take up the war work they dropped loads of other campaigns such as bin tax and anti globalisation. As a result the Globalise Resistance movement could be dying out.
Come any revolutionary situation they will be all over the place, they simply have no systematic method of approach
