arrested in Durham, North Carolina for pulling down a Confederate monument all belong to the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Workers_World_Party\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">World Workers Party<\/a>. It is a Communist party off-shoot. They broke away from the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Socialist_Workers_Party_(United_States)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Socialist Workers Party<\/a> in 1959 over doctrinal differences. It seems they considered themselves more Trotskyist than the SWP. The WWP later absorbed the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Spartacist_League_(US)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Spartacist League<\/a> which was itself a leading Trotskyist-influenced Communist party.<\/p>\n<p>The main thing to understand is that they are Communists regardless of whether they follow Stalin or Trotsky or whether they are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/topic\/Third-International\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">3rd Internationalists<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fourth_International\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">4th Internationalists<\/a>. The other thing to know about the World Workers Party is that they are very much <a href=\"http:\/\/www.workers.org\/2017\/08\/14\/self-defense-and-the-dprk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">supporters of the Democratic People&#8217;s Republic of Korea aka North Korea<\/a>. Indeed, they<a href=\"http:\/\/www.workers.org\/2017\/08\/14\/why-the-dprk-needs-a-nuclear-deterrent\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> strongly believe Kim Jong-Un and North Korea need<\/a> &#8220;The Bomb&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>You can read their tirade about the &#8220;freedom fighters&#8221; pulling down the monument <a href=\"http:\/\/www.workers.org\/2017\/08\/15\/freedom-fighters-topple-white-supremacy-statue\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Thus when I saw this tweet, I wondered if the PR whiz behind understands just who she is promoting and\/or aligning herself with.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<div dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">\n&#8220;I am Spartacus!&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/SLlj35dpeE\">https:\/\/t.co\/SLlj35dpeE<\/a><\/div>\n<p>\u2014 Shannon Watts (@shannonrwatts) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/shannonrwatts\/status\/898195206498951170\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">August 17, 2017<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\nThe Spartacist League was also known as the Spartacus League.
