On December 2, the Institute of Historical Research in London sponsored an online seminar titled “Gerry Healy and the WRP: Violence, Gender, and the Perils of Trotskyism.” The principal speaker was Aidan Beatty, author of The Party is Always Right: The Untold Story of Gerry Healy and British Trotskyism, an exercise in historical falsification.

Beatty opened the seminar with a lengthy diatribe against Healy, the Socialist Equality Party and the World Socialist Web Site. The seminar was then addressed by veteran Trotskyist Barbara Slaughter; WSWS International Editorial Board Chairman David North; and Eric London, a member of the SEP in the US.

The audio of the remarks by Slaughter, North and London is embedded in the post below.
