I only came across this website recently. Just look at this article: http://wsws.org/articles/2012/jul2012/taxe-j11.shtml

or this: http://wsws.org/articles/2012/jul2012/bain-j17.shtml

I went to a lecture that the SEP sponsored at Cornell in April.. the site can lapse into standard Trot refrains, but the good stuff is good, and just by its nature it is better than ~99% of the 'political' websites out there.  "FS"

It's a bunch of trot vomit outside of it's A+ coverage on budget cuts and worker action. Read its articles on the success of SYRIZA in Greece for proof of this.

Who puts "web site" in the title of a web site?

Well, they seem to view socialism as a 'positive good', so HS by default.

I've never read any articles there before and am too lazy to set aside time for reading enough of them to develop an opinion, so yeah... I don't know. I haven't been a fan of Trots for quite a few years now but then again, maybe they run a great site. Whatever works for them. Tongue

I haven't seen the site, but I'm not a fan of hard-line socialism, and if they actually speak like stereotypical communists, even worse. Now, if there was a World Social Democracy website, I'd like that.

FS on foreign policy and civil liberties, HS on most other issues.

Often remarkably silly and lapses into self-parody at times (which clearly would be a first for Trots...) but can be useful if you know how to read it.

Horrible sight.  They think that the Syrian government is supported by its people.  They also think that Tsipras and Vendola are neo-liberal bank lovers.

Well to be fair, we won't know if he is until his party wins the elections.
