The Socialist Workers Party is a communist political party in the United States.
The Socialist Workers Party broke politically with the United Secretariat of the Fourth International in 1990 though it had been increasingly inactive in the Trotskyist movement since Barnes' 1982 speech.

 Tony Cliff: Socialist Worker as organiser (1974)
It is important that workers should write, not only about strikes in their place of work but about their children and their education, about everything that is relevant to their life.
When workers write quite often they adapt their style to what they think the style should be and therefore it becomes dull and jargonised.
Workers will have to be encouraged to be the main speakers of the organisation on platforms, their names will have to appear in the paper more and more often and less and less often the bye-lines of the Paul Foots, Laurie Flynns and Tony Cliffs.

 Paul Foot won thousands to socialism
PAUL WAS a brilliant socialist writer, a speaker more able than any other to make people see what was wrong with capitalism, a tireless campaigner against injustice, and an investigative journalist whose revelations caused the resignation of a Tory cabinet minister and exposed the corruption of businessmen, big and small.
He used his journalistic skills to bring the spirit of the struggle into the paper, to show the machinations of the upper classes, and to convey socialist ideas in a language that was accessible to people who had never come across them before.
Just a fortnight ago he was promising to resume his regular column in Socialist Worker, and just a week ago he had an audience spellbound at the Marxism festival of socialist ideas as he laid into New Labour.

 Alex Callinicos: Obituary (Socialist Worker)
THE Marxist economist Michael Kidron, who died last week at the age of 72, made an enormous contribution to the Socialist Workers Party’s development during the early years of our tradition in the 1950s and 1960s.
Alongside his sister Chanie Rosenberg and her husband Tony Cliff, Mike played a key role in building the Socialist Review Group, a tiny circle of revolutionary socialists from which the SWP eventually developed.
Revolutionary socialist politics could therefore only be built effectively on the basis of the slogan “Neither Washington nor Moscow but International Socialism”;.
