Wtf! Whence and whither the SWP?

The U.S. Socialist Workers Party has moved very far "to the right" in recent years. They support Ukraine against Russia, defend Israel (including the US-brokered Israel-Arab peace agreements), oppose the "witchhunt" of Donald Trump and his supporters, and even seem to defend the Electoral College and the Senate! They have also come out in support of nuclear power, and in one of the articles linked below defend a private business against "woke" "anti-racist" protesters. 

The SWP are not necessarily wrong, but it *is* astonishing to see this hard Communist group (they still support Cuba!) take positions such as these. Some kind of ultra-popular frontism? One sure wonders how far they are willing to go. About seven years ago or so, a SWP supporter was shadowing me on Amazon´s American site, accusing me of being a nefarious Zionist when I supported the right of Israel to exist. Today, SWP seems to have adopted my old position (after a fashion)...

Some highlights from the articles: 

>>>The liberals’ anti-working class angst leads them to target any part of the Constitution that provides an avenue for workers to put their stamp on politics, however indirectly. This is what is behind their hysterical campaign to get rid of the Electoral College and change the number of senators allocated to each state to be proportionate to the population.>>>

>>>Another Hamas leader, Saleh Al-Arouri, called the attacks a response to the March 28 summit of top government officials from Israel, the U.S, Bahrain, Egypt, Morocco and the United Arab Emirates, held in the Negev desert, the first such meeting on Israeli soil. It was a direct outgrowth of agreements made in 2020 between the Israeli government and four Arab governments that ended decades of treating Israel as a pariah state. Advanced by the Donald Trump administration, the pacts were tied to building a common front against the expanding military influence of the regime in Iran, which opposes Sunni Arab governments and calls for the destruction of Israel. The pacts led to greater trade and other relations. They also opened the door to more travel and contact between Israeli and Arab workers, which can advance their unity and solidarity in defending working-class interests against attacks by bosses and their governments.>>>

>>>In a relatively rare statement, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas condemned the terror attacks, saying, “The killing of Israeli and Palestinian civilians will only lead to a deterioration of the situation ahead of Ramadan.” But if Abbas wanted to help put an end to these deadly assaults he could end the so-called Palestinian Authority Martyrs Fund, which makes monthly payments totaling millions of dollars to the families of residents of the West Bank who die in the course of carrying out exactly such killings.>>>
