I'm not sure how strong Left Turn's ties are to the SWP, but they have proven to be easy to work with and free of the party-building mentality. They claim that anarchists are in their group and a few of my anarchist buddies have written articles for their magazine.

Oh yeah, SUSTAIN organized the anti-AIPAC demonstrations on 4.20.2001, although ANSWER has been taking credit for that demo recently.
