John Molyneux (politician)

John Molyneux is a British Trotskyist and a leading member of the Socialist Workers Party. He was a senior lecturer at the School of Art, Design and Media, University of Portsmouth, before retiring to Ireland, where he is active in the Irish SWP.

He is 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'.
