It has affiliates in a number of countries. In the USA its affiliate calls itself the 'Socialist Equality Party.' There are a lot of people who have been conned, defrauded, flim-flammed, scammed into thinking this group is "Trotskyist."
It is not. It is a bunch of anti-Trotskyist, anti-Marxist, anti-Leninist, anti-communist frauds. It is anti-labor. It is a gang of political bandits who will say literally anything in order to cultivate favor with whomever this gang talks to.
" [I can’t offer any redemption to Sheppard because that is a religious concept alien to Marxism but I can offer advice and that is to face up to the poisonous atmosphere in the party during all of the 1970s, to examine it, to identify its sources, and educate about its anti-proletarian methods. I also have argued to deaf ears for nearly 25 years now that this degeneration of the SWP has analogs in socialist groups in every country and in every political current. The problem is considerably more significant in scope than the paltry narcissism of Barnes or the failings of Sheppard. These political processes need to be examined as the early Communist International did concerning its predecessor, the Second International, to come to grips with the politics of this epoch and to find a way out of the malaise of the revolutionary movement... ex SWP party member ] "
