The Socialist Workers Party (SWP) is a revolutionary socialist party with branches across Britain. We fight against oppression, exploitation and environmental destruction.
The problems in society come from a system, capitalism, that prioritises profit above all else. We think the solution is a revolution, where the majority of people take control of society and run it from the bottom up without the billionaires, bosses and landlords.
We organise on a day-to-day basis by taking part in movements, protests and strikes-and arguing for a revolutionary socialist transformation of society.

I know this video is 11 years old, but I gotta say I disagree. There are many ways to prove it could apply as socialist, as well as many ways to hold back the application of the whole definition, but in resume, it was ahead (in how 'socialistic') of any State Capitalism in many regards, to just put it as such.

And there you have it .......Once again the so called Left takes the completely wrong decision, urging the advanced conscious members of the working class to enter the same ballot as racists, xenophobes and fascists. You could cry. Look at where Lexit has stoked up for the working class? The fundamental question of any socialist (worthy of the name) is that does a policy elevate, enhance or improve the conditions of working class people? The results sadly are in. The longest cost of living crisis, a period of wage stagnation not seen since 1815, a productivity crisis that has seen the UK economy fall further and further behind our European counterparts. Is this what so-called socialists want? Of course not. Brexit has been an utter failure and disaster for UK workers and it is this type of position from Lexiters that damages the cause of working class politics and interests.
And so how did this 'Lexit' turn out. Thats right an annual loss of £100bn to the UK economy, cemented the largest fall of living standards on working people, has decimated the savings and investments of pensions and savings. You know, the money that workers rely on to avoid pensioner poverty. We have so-called socialists urging other socialists to stand shoulder to shoulder with racists in the ballot box, joining with the most reactionary groups that exist within the Country and of course, socialists - so called, forgetting that the point of socialism is the elevation, enhancement and improvement of the working class. Brexit & Lexit was a disaster fir the UK working class and many in the Labour movement who propogated this policy have done a huge disservice to the left in this Country. Breaks the heart to be honest....as we now have shit and sewerage in our rivers and waterways, poverty and destitution at its peak, we live in an economy that is now an ocean of debt and we have endured the longest fall in living standards since the battle of Waterloo. This was never thought through and the left was given an opportunity of displaying its 'internationalism' and totally fluffed it.
Margaret Tatcher policies….so overestimated and overinflated. Just disturbing
Is this from last year then?
We're watching. That is not good news. Thank you.
Why no session on Marx and Islam? He loathed it so much, he wanted it driven out of Europe. See his articles in the New York Herald Tribune on the Crimean War. As for the Russians, his views on that subject would get him arrested for hate speech.
Great and clear talk!
Maxine, solidarity from Lisbon, Duncan
Audio is pretty bad at times. Foam on the mic should help.
Even in Russia's Rusich etc. currently imitating WW2.
Marxism was founded on racist ideology
Ilan Pappé and other Jews like him are more Jewish than those Zionists who are harming Judaism and the Jews for their political and ideological gains. Not like what like the accusation that they are self-hating Jews.
The European countries supported the foundation of the Zionist state not because they love the European Jews who were citizens of those countries but to get rid of them. On the other side the Jews under the Ottoman and even after its fall they lived with dignity and peace .. until Zionist movement intervened to force the Jews to move to the newly founded apartheid state.
Zionism and Zionists have committed war crimes and genocides even prior to 1948 … but the world’s settlers colonialist controlled the UN then and now and they are covering for their crimes.
Zionism has done so much harm to Judaism .. and their ideology and actions are in contradiction with what God’s and messenger prophet Moses peace be upon him and the Ten Commandments.
You are not even British so do not talk about British patriotism or lecture people on being proud of their nation and culture.
Really positive comments here
Brilliant talk.
Marxism and elections are an oxymoron.
You wont be the one on the podium, youll be the ones who go against the wall. An uncomfortable truth about socialism.
Often the reason why it is rejected is due to lack of evidence of a prosecutable "event." Committing illegal acts on the down low in a risky country doesn't count, an act has to be committed, e.g. sodomy, a relationship, etc. following an event, an authority that peruses you for prosecution and this person flees to an embassy. There needs to be active prosecution where you are personally named and you have provided evidence of this. Living in a country that lacks human rights isn't grounds for asylum. SWP has a very poor record of understanding these issues and should refrain from commenting on them. Britain has no obligation to provide asylum to anyone for any reason and all cases are approved under discretion of the British government at this point in time, due to unsustainable numbers. What the British government could do, is bring awareness campaigns to certain countries in Africa where western missionaries brought about the idea of homosexuality being a sin, thus affecting social policy in that country years ago.
This the white, male, millionaire, prep school educated, career politician who grew up in a manor house and who was endorsed by Nick Griffin in 2017?
Lee Anderson was a miner for years, and then worked for CAB supporting the community. Did more than the SWP ever did.

I’m a miners daughter and sister From the Dearne Valley Our villages have never recovered No government funding is ever ploughed back into the area I’m certain it’s because of the corruption from police state and media all stemming from the miners strike
Will you please do well to read Losurdo's 'Stalin' , a meticulously researched work on Stalin who led the heroic Soviet people to victory over counter-revolution and fascism at a critical juncture in the history of mankind.
if affirming sxually traumatized children's delusions borne of adult abuse is now considered socialism? count me out. you fools
"My failure is because other people do things they arent aware of and people own more than me" Practical marxism in a nut shell.
Well said Weyman
Worst idea ever. Abandon your ship of fools!
Daily reminder that Che Guevara had concentration camps for homosexuals and dissidents in the Guanahacabibes peninsula. Fuck socialism
Marx was homophobic but sure 😂
He also cheated on his wife.
Lol 0 views! 😂😂😂😂
What has Tommy ever said that’s racist? He isn’t far-right, he’s speaking up for his country.
An important piece of history - thanks for sharing.
I work rewilding and restoring woodland habitat from former farmland. But have no idea why anything will change by a change in political agenda. If this was so Russia would be restoring the Environment so would China, because they're not capitalists. The reality is each and every one of us is personally responsible. Layng in front of cars just creates congestion, but if every country turned their biowaste into biochar, it could be used to aid food production reduce the need for so much fertilizers, improve soil health and take CO2 out of the atmosphere. The Aztecs were doing this thousands of years ago, and their ammended soil called Terra Petra is still absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere to this day!

Excellent video! Well done comrades.
As a queer marxist I can’t wait to throw Queer Theory and all the Post-structuralism nonsense into the trash. It’s such an anti-materialist garbage that is based on subjective idealism and hyper-individualism.
