About
SF (Socialist Front) is a faction created by user SF_RedPlebian in early 2015, due to a split in LU between those who advocated violent means to secure power and those who advocated more peaceful means. It is widely held that the main split happened around the time of the Freddie Grey riots, where many who supported the rioters joined SF and those who didn't stayed in LU. There remain people in SF, however, that do support parliamentary or peaceful means of securing power, and therefore it is often considered by outside observers and especially right wing ones, as merely a rebirthing of LU.
Controversy
Not much "controversy" surrounds the group externally, other than notably being a designated terror organization and various instances of internal conflict, resolved with suppression of quarrels or democratic decisions.
