Counterfire vs Anarchism.

Ex SWP split off group Counterfire, and their attack on Anarchism.

Counterfire, the split off group from the SWP, has recently split itself, with some leaving and forming an Autonomist faction. Counterfire have since gone on the warpath, and declared Autonomism as their enemy. Counterfire presents itself at times as libertarian, but it has an agenda:

which states:

"… danger that some involved in such events may believe that traditional organisations of the left such as the trade unions and the Labour Party are now obsolete and should be bypassed."

There has been a criticism of this position:

"The danger then is that people will act in a way different from the strategy of Counterfire and organise in ways different from how Counterfire organises."

Most authoritarian socialists do not disguise their Leninist and hierarchical tendencies, but Counterfart try and appear as libertarian, but in reality it is another authoritarian cult, whose entire existence is based around making sure that ' trade unions and the Labour Party' remain relevant.

Counterfire or Counterfart?
