The switch from class warfare to racism in the SWP occurred with the foundation of the Anti Nazi League (ANL) in 1977 to raise the profile of the vile National Front so that the racist/anti-racist dialectic would be prominent in British politics. The ANL was a publicity vehicle for the SWP and also served to publicise the National Front which went from being a virtually unknown party to, in its heyday in 1979, being supported by a miniscule 0.6% of the electorate.
Even the publicity provided by the Anti Nazi League could not breathe life into the National Front and it virtually disappeared from British politics in the 1980s. This lack of any identifiable opposition meant that the ANL had nothing to fight and was succeeded within the SWP by the acceptance of "cultural relativism"*. Cultural relativism is the classic stance of the modern, racist, socialist organisation (see Postmodernism-poststructuralism-postmarxism). It is also a philosophical position that lacks any morality because all moral beliefs are believed to be equivalent.
The postmarxist stirring up of racist antagonism is now the staple political activity of the Socialist Workers Party, the objective being to create a state of "revolution" - or social disruption. (see Postmodernism-poststructuralism-postmarxism). The SWP hope that this disruption will culminate in a world run like a giant secondary school. True rebels would want personal independence and individual responsibility but these childlike adults want conformity and compulsion, the SWP are suffering from some strange Stockholm Syndrome inflicted upon them by their education. A form of Stockholm Syndrome would be an expected side effect of any institutionalisation; and schools, especially private and boarding schools, would be expected to produce a few percent of deranged graduates who dream of returning to an institutional life. (see Communism and the education system).
It was the SWP that organised the street parties after Margaret Thatcher's death - any other group would have had a moral compass and have realised this was wrong.
The BBC is intensely fond of the SWP and covers the events, such as Thatcher Parties and the anti-racist marches that the SWP use to stir up racial tension with alacrity, providing what is a tiny, fringe organisation with a level of publicity that other parties can only dream about. This behaviour of the BBC may be due to the large numbers of old International Socialists, ex SWP members and fellow travellers in New Labour (see Roots of New Labour). These extreme socialists operate a sort of "freemasons", awarding jobs to each other (see When will governments react to discrimination in Sociology and Social Science Departments?). This behaviour is utterly illegal but no government has dared intervene.
The SWP sees the exacerbation of difference as a weapon against capitalism, as Jenkins(2011) said:
"The current assault on multiculturalism is an attempt to blame one section of the population for the failures of capitalist society to deliver on its promises." (International Socialism issue 131).
The use of difference and victim status as tools towards the objective of revolutionary change is especially devious, as Jenkins continues:
"...only the final destruction of class society by working class revolution will permit the emergence of a truly universal human culture, to which every progressive element within particular cultures will contribute."
The intention of the SWP is clear, come the revolution and they will end your religious and other socially backward cultures but until then they will exploit your race and nationality to promote racist/anti-racist conflict.
To support multiculturalism when your aim is "the emergence of a truly universal human culture" is pure subversion. To encourage ethnic groups to hate each other to further your own ends is racism.
