Martin Smith was active in a socialist party in England for a number of years, and his rape of two underage girls was covered by the very same party.
He raped and orally raped two, one 16 the other 17, girls. They (him, the party) used excuses such as him being in a relationship with her/them, and no rape happened etc. they insisted and tried to cover what happened, for years.
Martin James Smith (born October 1963[1]) is a British political activist, and a former National Secretary of the Socialist Workers Party (SWP); a position he held from 2004 until January 2011.[2] He is reported to have left the SWP in 2013, following accusations of the rape of a much younger female member of the party.[3]
Smith has been named as "Comrade Delta", accused of sexual assault and rape of women who were members of the SWP.[10][11][12] According to Alex Callinicos and Dave Renton, disagreement within the party following this incident led to the resignation of 700 SWP members.
The “disagreement” in the party was mostly abt how they saw the issues revolving around him as “moralistic”— tldr these “socialist” men do not value women and couldn’t give two shits as long as they can POSE as being political and activists.
I’ll never stop warning women to STAY AWAY from socialist parties.
It took them 3 years to basically half heartedly kick him out. He still had meeting and events where the members gave him standing ovations.
The recurring phenomenon of men being the majority in socialist parties (whatever denomination)— which they are majority, regardless of numbers because they are the “commanding power” in these groups, and how they blatantly ignore sexual politics is so detrimental and spreads anti intellectualism and the delusions people have today.
It is not a coincidence that MOST of these TRA, gender theorists are also “socialists” (“communists”, “anarchists”, etc.)
The absolute mind virus that the liberals have today is insane.
Getting back Martin Smith, let’s keep this in mind: this man, Martin Smith, faced NO consequences.
He is free!
He got a reprimand from the police in 2010s for being aggressive during one of their (the parties) bs protests but nothing serious. He’s living his life. He got an honorary PhD from a university.
Why? Because he’s a man.
Womyn, we need to start becoming ACTIVE with our praxis and make real differences, not let these things be forgotten and make them fuel for CHANGE.
