I know that SWP types exist but they're gadflies whose raison d'etre is to short-circuit public meetings.

He said "the communists" couldn't take him out and neither would the spider bite.

How that got twisted into blaming "the commies" for the bite is beyond me but it's very clearly neither what he said nor what he meant.

And it seems a lot of people didn't bother to read the article and just uncritically accepted the framing in the OP even though it made zero sense. There's a lesson there but alas, it's a very depressing one...

Whether the OP was intentionally misleading or not I will leave to others to decide.

No, I misread it - it’s called a mistake - perhaps you never made one, but I’m human.

Sorry to EVERYONE ELSE. For my error.

Brown recluse bites are supposed to be pretty painful.
Good.
I hope that little punk suffers and then loses his trigger finger.

I fully expect it to be acquitted of all charges.

I just would encourage it to ham it up a bit while on the stand for good measure.
