It's probably more noteworthy that the entire "left" ran to the defense of a man who raped a working class black girl in front of her brother. Curtis' innocence was, of course, maintained by a group, the SWP, who are quite likely a cop front.

Consider two things:

1) Joseph Hansen admitted to having meetings with the FBI.
2) The main core of the current SWP leadership is comprised of 12 students from Carlton College, a small conservative college in the midwest of the type that the intelligence community regularly recruits from.
3) They were recruited to the Minneapolis Branch at a time when it was moribund.
4) These members were appointed to the leadership of the SWP with the blessing out the outgoing leader Farrell Dobbs, who admitted he knew nothing about them.

"Also, the Socialist Equality Party appears to have a position opposing
unions and strikes. While this formally resembles the sectarian positions
held by the basically defunct Socialist Labor Party, I think it is an
extension of disruptive activities the Workers League carried out at plant
gates, union picket lines, and other union activities."

Sources and specific examples, please.
