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...
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.
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:
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?
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.
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.
