This is really very consistent with the SWP position in the past on this. I well remember its dogmatic rigidity over this during the Nazi marches in Skokie and downtown. And that was uniformed Nazis not just a media blowhard.
When I joined the SWP, it was a time of militancy often colored by ultraleft adventurism. As such, it was not surprising that an SWP-led demonstration at a fascist rally in Madison Square Garden in 1939 was depicted as an attempt to shut it down.
But this article departs somewhat from that interpretation and makes the case that there was a confrontation with the cops over the right to picket outside MSG. It makes for an interesting sidebar on the Chicago thread:
