Facebook "bowed to pressure" from "socialists, trade unionists and campaigners", and reinstated the party's main page after a short period, the SWP said in a statement.
The far-left party went on to complain that "dozens of SWP activists and local branch pages remain suspended", however, and called on the tech giant to reinstate their accounts "immediately".
Following the ban, Reform UK leader Nigel Farage remarked: "Maybe this will teach the radical left a lesson about censorship."
The SWP shot back: "Hey Nigel you racist bigot — we're back on Facebook. Another loss for you and your mate Trump. Now get back in your box."
The SWP went on to suggest that they are against big tech censorship, pointing to an article in the far-left newspaper the Socialist Worker — which is published in the United Kingdom by the SWP — in which they warned that Big Tech censorship may be turned against leftist activists.
The Trotskyist party seemingly backtracked on their alleged principled stance later, however, sharing a post on social media which said: "Far-right social media being shut down for inciting violence and hatred is not the same as [the SWP's Facebook] being shut down for just being far-left."
Unlike the prompt about-face from Facebook on the banning of the SWP, the Silicon Valley giant has said that it has "no plans to lift" the suspension of Donald Trump from their site. Executives at the site have also reportedly claimed that the blacklisting of Mr Trump stopped a "coup".
Counter-extremism campaigner Maajid Nawaz said of the action against the SWP: "Many cheered banning Trump while some of us screamed from the rooftops that this is where it was headed. Defending a principle is not defending the person. That's a basic tenet of human rights."
Earlier this week, Facebook announced that it would be expanding its censorship purge, barring advertisements for firearm accessories in the United States as well as removing any posts containing "Stop the Steal" rhetoric.
Following the inauguration of Joe Biden, the Big Tech giants have seemingly become more active in targeting far-left groups for censorship as well, with journalist Andy Ngo reporting that several high profile Antifa accounts were purged from Twitter following inauguration day riots in Portland by militant leftist groups.
Glenn Greenwald added, "Congrats to all who urged this system."
The Trotskyist party ... said: "Far-right social media being shut down for inciting violence and hatred is not the same as being shut down for just being far-left."Piss poor Trotskyites if they are not inciting violence
Permanent revolution is the strategy of a revolutionary class pursuing its own interests independently and without compromise or alliance with opposing sections of society. Trotsky's theory also argues that the bourgeoisie in late-developing capitalist countries are incapable of developing the productive forces in such a manner as to achieve the sort of advanced capitalism which will fully develop an industrial proletariat; and that the proletariat can and must therefore seize social, economic and political power,
In reality, they are complicit in the coup that installed the undead, unelected badun into the White House.
