This IS arcana, but in England the ISO is the forerunner organisation to the SWP (which is a different organisation in the US). Or perhaps it would be mroe accurate to say 'the international socialists' since they were entrists in the Labour Party at the time, and so denying their existence as a distinct organisation. The name already being patented across the waters, the sister organisation of the SWP is called the ISO.
