"The airport workers have now come down from the canopy at the front of Transport House and are continuing their protest and hunger strike at the front gates of the building. They were forced to come down from the canopy because the PSNI threatened to arrest them. Jimmy Kelly UNITE T&G Regional Secretary and SWP member called in the PSNI to arrest the airport workers."

BTW this is from awhile ago.

This seems to be a normal thing for them to do.

I recall a particular demonstration against the EDL in the UK (http://www.revleft.com/vb/report-october-31-t121716/index.html?t=121716) doing the same.

Well, I don't know what to think of this, other than the resemblance towards the KKE's handling of masked hooligans in their midst. But in this case, the protesters aren't hooligans.

You know who also calls anarchists "masked hooligans"? The Greek government. Guess who you're siding with now?


Your line toward this is ridiculous. All revolutionaries are our comrades.

Um, I'm just echoing the KKE's own approach, irrespective of what the Greek government thinks. I haven't heard much "Marxist-Leninist" critiques of the KKE.

It's not in government:

Participation in government
In 1944, KKE participated in the national unity government of George Papandreou, holding the positions of Minister of Finance, Minister of Agriculture, Minister of Labor, Minister of National Economy and Public Works, and Deputy Minister of Finance.

In 1988, KKE and Greek Left (Greek EAP; the former KKE Interior), along with other left and center parties and organisations, formed the Coalition of the Left and Progress (Synaspismos). In the June 1989 elections Synaspismos gained 13.1 per cent of votes and joined a coalition with New Democracy to form a short-lived government amidst a political spectrum shaken by accusations of economic scandals against the previous administration of Andreas Papandreou's Panhellenic Socialist Movement. In November of the same year Synaspismos participated in the "Universal Government" with New Democracy and Panhellenic Socialist Movement which appointed Xenophon Zolotas as Prime Minister for 3 months. In 1991, KKE withdrew from Synaspismos. Some of its members left the party and remained in Synaspismos, which evolved into a separate left-wing party that is now an alliance of Synaspismos with other leftist groups called the (Coalition of the Radical Left).

KKE is a force in the Greek political scene, rallying a significant amount of support within the organized working-class movement. KKE is currently trying to mold a loose and rather disorganised international communist movement along a purely Marxist-Leninist line; since its 18th Congress (February 2009) KKE has opened up a discussion within the ranks and more broadly within the Greek left-leaning community on the future evolution of communism in the 21st century, with a particular emphasis on examining the causes of the collapse of the Socialist system in the former Soviet Union and in Eastern Europe.

This is from a while ago and has been clearly explained in a very long thread - I think about two years ago. Of course this isn't a party line, and only backed up by heresay. You should probably make a distinction between the British and Irish SWP, by the way.

I'm kinda convinced you're a bit of a troll, Subby my boy. I mean, the accusation that my party regards cops as workers in uniform which you so far have not provided a shred of evidence to support, to articles that are ancient and have already been dealth with on this forum.

[Subcomandante Marcos.]

everyone knows the SWP love the cops.

Online you get SWP people or sympathisers saying so, its pathetic

As i've explained to you in your visitor messages, you're completely confused. You said you heard 'stories' which is not evidence to support your position at all; and then said that we have a member that was a head prison officer that helped put down the Strangeways uprising.

Sorry to tell you, thats not the Socialist Workers Party, that is the Socialist Party. There is a difference between the two, quite a big one.

[Subcomandante Marcos.]

Yeah, i was wrong about the prison guy being in the swp, sorry for that mistake, i am fine about admitting i am wrong when i am.

It kind of makes me the better man :) hehe

just kidding

but not really.

[Sam_b]

Sorry I posted that comeback before getting back to you in Visitors Messages. Though it would be best to clarify it in the thread as well.

I'll stop harassing you now :cool:

aint nuthin but a Sam b thang

I'm a miserable bastard, its true.
