In my experience Red Fightback are too sectarian. They won’t even agree to meeting representatives of other communist parties.
I recently tried to get all the various organisations in my area to come together around a monthly forum to discuss areas where we could all co-align and they didn’t even entertain the idea. The leadership in CPB, Workers Party, CPG, CPGBML etc at least approached the issue seriously and put forward proposals.
Half the reason why there are so many splinter groups in UK radical politics is because there is no intercourse between the various organisations. A radical political alternative will never coalesce around Britain’s labour movement if its active political organisations aren’t even open to communicating with each other. It’s precisely this kind of thing that has driven the stagnancy of British communism and the tendency towards squabbling little sects.
Red Fightback are never sectarian because of party line or other such things - we’re sectarian towards organisations guilty of transphobia and sexual assault coverup
The SWP had the awful comrade delta thing yes, the WRP had 20 cases of the leader raping party members, the YCL refused to expel a sexual abuser who still remains in the party and the RCG had a similar instance to the YCL

Are you referring to the SWP affair with Comrade Delta when you talk about sexual assault cover ups here or something else?

Can I be annoying and ask for some more details on this? I’m really interested in learning more about the YCL case in particular.
The reason you haven’t heard about the YCL case is because they tried to cover it up
YCL: https://redfightback.org/ycl-must-expel-abusers/ https://twitter.com/jessfem_/status/1354758422487572482
There’s also what perceive as a general aggressive, toxic “lads culture” within the YCL and a general misogynistic outlook.
