 History of the FSP--Why We Left the Socialist Workers Party
We believed that the party was departing from the dynamic course dictated by the spirit and letter of Leninism and Trotskyism, and that it was stagnating into conservatism.
We denied the SWP characterization of the left wing of the anti-war movement as "Stalinist." We condemned their fearful refusal to proclaim clear support to the National Liberation Front and their super-cautious and outdated policy on the draft, which prevents effective opposition to it.
We advocated a proletarian anti-war policy that would solidarize the party with the revolution in Vietnam, with working-class Negro youth who are the key victims of the draft, and with the radical wing of the anti-war movement.

 Freedom Road Socialist Organization - Meeting the Challenge of Crisis and Opportunity: Left Refoundation and Party ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
The building of a party is our task because no such party presently exists, but also because we are in a historical situation in which we cannot rely on the spontaneous regeneration of Marxism and revolutionary socialist theory in order to build a new revolutionary movement.
Left Refoundation is a process for recreating, reestablishing, and reasserting an ideological and institutional base in the U.S. for overthrowing capitalism and beginning to create a socialist society.
Party building has to include the task of encouraging and supporting broad-based theoretical exploration and development, Left-wing culture, opposition to imperialist corruption, and the building of bridges between generations of activists.

It came to light at the beginning of the party conference in December 1997 that one delegate held a card with 3000 votes, that is twice as many votes as the rest of the voting delegates added together.
If you believe, as certainly sections of the SLP have indicated, that China and North Korea are socialist states, that Saddam Hussein should be supported, and that the students shot in Tiananmen Square were "counter-revolutionaries", then you do not believe in democracy.
What was encouraging at the SLP conference was the spontaneous way in which so many of the delegates reacted angrily to what they saw as Scargill’s misuse of power.

In moving the motion, Glen Kelly, Branch Secretary of Bromley Unison, and Socialist Party member, summed up the mood of many at the conference when he said: "We've handed £750,000 over to Labour's election fund at the same time as New Labour have handed Dudley hospital workers over to the private sector.

 Sectarianism and the Socialist Workers Party
I subsequently learned from one of the signatories, after she had left the SWP and employment in the steel industry, that, during August 1982, the Political Committee of the SWP was examining the question of participation of the SWP as a party in the Ironworkers Union elections.
For me it was a repetition of their intervention in the NSW Socialist Left in 1971, where winning support for the SWP took priority over building a left fraction of the ALP based on a struggle for socialist policies.
George Petersen (1921-2000), a former member of the Communist Party of Australia and some Trotskyist groups, was a member of the Australian Labor Party from 1958 to 1987, when he was expelled for defying a NSW parliamentary ALP caucus decision to support legislation that ruined the NSW workers compensation system.
