[HEAD ICE]

An email exchange between members of the SWP and others in the Brighton Stop the Cuts Coalition (BSCC), where an SWP activist accidentally 'reply alls' whilst planning a sectarian split on the pretext of the outcome of an unrelated conference of the National Shop Stewards Network (NSSN). http://libcom.org/library/trotskileaks-how-not-engineer-sectarian-split

I only learnt this the other day because comrades were being rude about the SWP, but a slang term they use for members of that organisation is 'SWPie' or SWP-oh' (pronounced swappie, swapoh).

I always heard SoWPies (soupies) or SWamPies as the derogatory short terms. The "Sniveling Wankers Party" was the preferred long term for their group by those who made it their business to have such comments at the ready.

I don't know what's more pitiful, the fact that Comrade A did such a thing or the fact that libcom thought it important enough to post on their website.

Their real name here is "International Socialists", but I don't know if there are any nicknames that have earned any currency. I've heard people suggest "Infiltrating Socialists", but it hasn't really caught on.
