WSWS (World Socialist Web Site) termed "sick and reactionary" by Marxists for anti-union disruption

[HamdenRice]

Now explain to me why we allow a half dozen or more articles copied and links from this site to be posted here on a daily basis, but we don't allow the same for Rense, Prison Planet, Lyndon LaRouche and other lunatic sites?

Workers' Struggles and the Trade Unions

Although some members<2> of the SEP are union members, the party does not seek to facilitate any sort of social change through the Trade Unions<3>, which they characterize as having interests antithetical to the workers they represent. The Party calls for a break with these organizations and the formation of "workplace committees" that will carry on economic struggles.

It's an anti-trade union movement.

Period. QED.

The last time I checked out a literature table of this group was at the
April 20 antiwar demonstration.

The table carried material supporting the slander campaign against Hansen,
as well as the related slander campaigns against Jack Barnes and 11 other
SWP members who attended Carleton College as CIA agents, and material
supporting the frameup of Mark Curtis, a meatpacker and SWP member in Iowa
who, while he was involved in defending immigrant workers arrested in an INS
raid at his plant, was railroaded to jail for eight years on rape and
burglary charges.

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.

While the World Socialist Website may have its attractive features -- North
has a lot of rebuilding to do, after all -- I believe that what lies behind
it is as sick and reactionary as the Workers League ended up being.

WSWS various political organs are, as has been noted often anti-union, anti-strike, primarily dedicated to disrupting other left wing organizations, and is "sick and reactionary."

Hence the constant attacks on unions, Democrats, British Labour, European Socialists, Greens, and even Communists.

They are a tiny, narrow, sectarian, non-reality based group that chooses as its exclusive focus disrupting all other left of center political groupings, and uses lies, slander, falsehoods to "catapult the propaganda."
