Socialist Workers' Student Society
The Socialist Workers' Student Society, commonly known as SWSS (pronounced swizz), is the student section of the British revolutionary socialist group the SWP. It organises mainly in Universities and higher education colleges, and is an active faction in the National Union of Students. On campus, SWSS groups tend to organise what they describe as regular 'activist meetings' as well as more abstract discussions of Marxist ideas, claiming that ideas and activity 'go hand in hand'. On top of this they encourage their members to become involved in other campaign groups (as part of the tactic of united fronts). They have been particulary involved in setting up Stop the War Coalition university groups.
Website
Perhaps counterintuitively, SWSS have not registered www.swss.org.uk as their website – allowing, until recently, an unknown prankster to redirect that website to Conservative Future.
