Party members organized within these unions form factions within the party. The SWP asserts that this course follows the continuity of the communist movement from Marx and Engels to Lenin's time, which stresses a party based in the working class.

Barnes repudiated the traditional Trotskyist understanding of <a href="/wiki/Permanent_revolution" title="Permanent revolution">Permanent Revolution</a> in favor of Lenin's pre-World War I position of "democratic-dictatorship of the proletariat and peasantry", and a highly sympathetic view of the governments of <a href="/wiki/Cuba" title="Cuba">Cuba</a>, <a href="/wiki/Nicaragua" title="Nicaragua">Nicaragua</a> and <a href="/wiki/Grenada" title="Grenada">Grenada</a>. </p><p>The change prefaced the expulsion of more than a third of the party's members in 1983 and 1984, and was regarded by the opposition as a complete break with the party's traditions.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> As national secretary, Barnes played a key role in the expulsion those who supported the USFI. In 1990, he wrote on behalf of the SWP to withdraw it from close relations with the Fourth International and to recognize the reality that it was now part of a "<a href="/wiki/Pathfinder_tendency" title="Pathfinder tendency">Pathfinder tendency</a>" consisting of the SWP and several <a href="/wiki/Communist_League_(disambiguation)" class="mw-disambig" title="Communist League (disambiguation)">Communist Leagues</a> in other countries.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Orientation_to_the_Cuban_CP">Orientation to the Cuban CP</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Jack_Barnes_(politician)&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Orientation to the Cuban CP"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Barnes has encouraged the SWP's growing interest in the Cuban Communist Party. In the 1960s he was a leader of the <a href="/wiki/Fair_Play_for_Cuba_Committee" title="Fair Play for Cuba Committee">Fair Play for Cuba</a> movement. This interest continues, and he wrote a 2001 book titled <i>Cuba and the Coming American Revolution</i>. The SWP views the Cuban Revolution and the Cuban Communist Party more sympathetically than do some other currents of the Trotskyist tradition, stressing the alleged vanguard role of Cuba's foreign policy and what socialists can learn from Cuba about building a socialist society. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Works">Works</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Jack_Barnes_(politician)&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Works"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Jack Barnes is the author of political books and articles including: </p> <ul><li><i>Capitalism's World Disorder</i></li> <li><i>Cuba and the Coming American Revolution</i></li> <li><i>Their Trotsky and Ours</i></li> <li><i>U.S. Imperialism Has Lost the Cold War</i></li> <li><i>Capitalism's Long Hot Winter Has Begun</i></li> <li><i>The Lesser Evil?
