Just to clarify, the American SWP has nothing to do with the British SWP. It is the premier Orthodox Trotskyist sect there, i.e holds that the USSR was a "defenerate workers state" (while the SWP holds that for most of the time it was a form of state capitalism). Nowadays they have transferred their allegiance to Cuba. Their Brirish affiliate, the Communist League, stood against us in the recent London elections and got even less votes than us.
The Communist Party of the USA is celebrating the alliance between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. The main problem of the US is not to defeat Donald Trump, the main essential problem is capitalism, who ever win the presidential election will become the captain of the battleship and the representative of the capitalist economy The wife of Leon Trotsky known as Sedovia had a much better stand than her husband and the parties that supported him too,( she was aware that Russia had a state capitalist economy ) and she was thrown out from the Fourth International
Not particularly highlighted by the media but the US SWP have a candidate standing for Presidenthttp://www.themilitant.com/SWPCampaign2016/swpcampaign2016.htmlJust the re-hash of the usual leftist wish-lists of reforms
