John Molyneux (politician)

For other people named John Molyneux, see John Molyneux (disambiguation).

John Molyneux is a British Trotskyist and a leading member of the Socialist Workers Party. He was a senior lecturer in Historical and Theoretical Studies at the School of Art, Design and Media, University of Portsmouth.

He has been noted for writing a bulletin headed "Democracy in the SWP", which argued that, though the SWP is democratic, it needs to be more so, prompting the Communist Party of Great Britain to call him a "loyal rebel". In 2006 he set up a blog where he 'writes mainly about Marxist theory and art'.
