I think he kinda retired. I know he ran as the presidential candidate for
the SP on 2000 (Solidarity gave him 1/2 support - the other 1/2 went to
Nader).  He is still very active with his local in New York. He does
represent the social democrat wing of the Party.

And I don't it will do so unless it's Marxian wing has more say so on party
organizing.

Here an official statement on the 9/11 events and the invasion of

I think it's a blend of what's inside SP as far as the divide between the
Social Democrats and it's Marxist wing.
