The Ideological Roots: From Marxism to Demonology
You don’t have to dig very deep into Socialist Worker to see the sewage running underneath. Their article “Rejoice as Palestinian resistance humiliates racist Israel” is not journalism, it is a neo‑Nazi pamphlet dressed up in pseudo‑Marxist prose. It is the same ancient, diseased script: Jews as the racialized enemy, Jewish sovereignty as “racist,” Jewish self‑defence as “fascism,” and Muslim‑Arab jihad as romantic “resistance.” The only thing “socialist” here is the recycled propaganda—they’ve simply swapped the swastika armband for a keffiyeh and pretend that makes them “anti‑racist.”Glorifying Jihad and the Logic of 1930s Nazi Propaganda
When Socialist Worker howls “rejoice” at “Palestinian resistance” “humiliating” “racist Israel,” they are not talking about some abstract theoretical struggle. They are glorifying the same Iran‑armed Muslim‑Arab Jihad militants who butchered, raped, burned and kidnapped Jews in the Jewish Homeland. Strip the rhetoric and it is identical to the glee of 1930s Nazis at “humiliating” German Jews—only now filtered through the left, which allies with Iran’s network of global Jihad and political Islam, and thinks chanting “liberation” while cheering dead Jews makes them progressive rather than complicit.
The Rhetorical Shift: Resistance vs. Terror
The choice of language in that Socialist Worker piece gives the game away. Israel is “racist” by definition, a demonic entity; Arab Muslim terror is not terror but “resistance”; jihad militias are “fighters,” pogroms are “humiliations,” and any Jewish security measure in Judea and Samaria or Unified Jerusalem is cast as a crime. This is not critique of policy; it is demonology directed at the only Jewish state on earth. Swap “Israel” for “Jews,” and you are reading a rebranded Der Stürmer.
Institutional Betrayal: The Comrade Delta Scandal
And that neo‑Nazi logic doesn’t live in a vacuum. It lives inside a political culture that treats actual, real‑world rape and abuse as expendable collateral when committed by “comrades.” That is what we saw in the notorious “Comrade Delta” scandal at the Socialist Workers Party, the group behind Socialist Worker. A young woman accused a senior SWP leader—known as “Comrade Delta,” widely reported as Martin Smith—of rape and serious sexual misconduct. Instead of independent, transparent investigation, the leadership dragged it into a party disputes committee. The result was a grotesque parody of justice: a closed internal hearing, comrades “cross‑examining” the alleged victim, whispers about “feminist deviations” and “attacks on the party,” and a leadership far more interested in protecting its own than in protecting women.
The Hypocrisy of "Believe Women" within the Party Line
This is what happens when an organisation worships the Party line above human beings. The same people who spew endless articles about “rape culture” when it is useful as a weapon against capitalism suddenly become defence lawyers for an accused rapist the instant it’s one of their own. The same “anti‑patriarchy” blowhards who shriek about “toxic masculinity” in the IDF fall eerily silent when toxic, predatory masculinity wears an SWP membership card. All that righteous fury about “believe women” evaporates the moment the woman points her finger at the leadership.
A Culture of Smothering and Silence
The “Comrade Delta” case revealed a culture where the leadership used loyalty, ideology and group pressure to smother a rape allegation. You cannot call that anything but institutional betrayal. They did not merely mishandle a complaint; they demonstrated that their proclaimed feminism was a cheap costume to be ripped off the instant it obstructed the line. A party that lectures Israel on “human rights” while turning a rape allegation into an internal show trial has no moral ground left to stand on.
The Comrade Murch Saga: Protecting the Clique
And then there is the “Comrade Murch” saga—another ugly tale of a party structure more eager to close ranks than to confront alleged abuse. Mark “Murch” Abramson has been named in connection with child‑abuse allegations in disputes swirling around the SWP milieu. Even leaving aside what is still contested, you see the pattern: layers of denial, minimisation, and the same instinct to protect the clique first, the vulnerable last. This is the soul of the organisation behind Socialist Worker: a leadership that postures as guardians of the oppressed while circling the wagons around their own, including those accused of preying on the weakest.
Totalitarian Thinking Under a Red Shemagh
The thread tying all this together—the Hamas cheerleading, the obsession with “humiliating” Israel, the protection of accused rapists and abusers—is a worldview that divides humanity into “the righteous” (their camp) and “the enemy” (Jews, Israel, the West, anyone not marching under their banner). Once someone is in the righteous camp—whether a party apparatchik or a jihad militia—the usual moral rules are suspended. Rape allegations become “factional attacks.” Child victims become an inconvenience. Jewish civilians become “settlers” or “legitimate targets.” Mass murder of Jews becomes “resistance.” That is not left‑wing; that is classic totalitarian thinking with a red flag shemagh tied around it.
The Bleed into British "Anti-Racism" Fronts
This moral rot does not stop at the Socialist Workers Party. It bleeds straight into the “anti‑racist” and “Palestine solidarity” industry in Britain. Stand Up To Racism likes to market itself as a broad campaign against hatred, and the Palestine Solidarity Campaign wraps itself in the language of human rights. But look who sits at the core: SWP figures, old hands of the Socialist Worker milieu, the same ideological current that laundered “Comrade Delta,” that looked away when “Comrade Murch” was raised, that publishes articles rejoicing over “humiliations” inflicted on Jews.
Shared Leadership and the Infrastructure of Hate
The shared leadership, overlapping personnel and joint mobilisation between Stand Up To Racism and the Palestine Solidarity Campaign show precisely how this ecosystem functions. One front organises marches against “racism”; the other floods those marches with slogans delegitimising Jewish national existence in the Land of Israel, chants glorifying Muslim‑Arab insurgency against Jewish communities, and banners demanding the dismantling of Jewish national rights. The SWP current sits in both, ensuring the narrative is aligned: Jews as oppressors, Israel as a racialised evil, Islam’s jihadist proxies as the “oppressed,” and any Jew who insists on self‑defence as a “fascist.”
The Inversion of Anti-Racism
This is why both SUTR and PSC can share platforms with open supporters of Hamas and other Iranian proxy forces, why they will scream “Islamophobia” if anyone dares critique political Islam, but rarely summon an ounce of honest outrage when Jews are butchered or synagogues are attacked. The left, which allies with Iran’s network of global Jihad and political Islam, has turned “anti‑racism” into a shield to protect some of the most racist, Jew‑hating ideologies on earth. And SWP’s fingerprints—organisational, ideological, personal—are all over it.
Conclusion: A Moral Cautionary Tale
Put it all together and you get the full picture:
You have a party that handled rape allegations like a mafia family, trying to neutralise the problem in‑house to protect the boss. You have a surrounding culture that treated allegations associated with “Comrade Murch” and other scandals as factional headaches rather than existential alarms about predation and power. You have a newspaper that publishes neo‑Nazi‑style bile against Israel, celebrating Muslim‑Arab Jihad militants as they target Jewish civilians and calling it “resistance” and “humiliation.” You have front organisations like Stand Up To Racism and the Palestine Solidarity Campaign where these same cadres recycle their hatreds behind a thin veil of “equal rights” and “anti‑racism.”
This is not an unfortunate series of accidents. This is what happens when an organisation builds itself on hatred of Jews and worship of ideological purity. If you believe Israel is inherently “racist” and illegitimate, that Jews in their own homeland are a problem to be solved, that jihadist violence is “understandable,” that the left’s alliance with Iran’s network of global Jihad is “solidarity,” then of course you will start to look like the very Nazis and totalitarians you claim to oppose. Once you accept that the “cause” is everything, you will excuse anything—rape, abuse, murder, terrorism—so long as it serves the line.
The Socialist Worker
eco‑system has earned its place as a moral cautionary tale. It is not
anti‑racist; it is a vector for modernised antisemitism. It is not
feminist; it is a machine that crushed women who dared accuse its stars.
It is not anti‑fascist; it has metabolised fascist patterns of thought
and simply painted them red. Whenever you see their banners at a march,
or their articles shared as “progressive,” remember what stands behind
them: a movement that rejoiced when Jews were attacked, and closed ranks
when its own were accused of rape and abuse. That is the true
philosophy of Socialist Worker—neo‑Nazi in content, Trotskyist in
branding, and rotten to the core.
