I otoh welcome my Trotskyist overlords if they’re actually doing shit and not just being nerds.
I’ll take a Trot 10/10 times over a leftlib, demsuckkkdem, or wjatever the fuck we’ve got going on around us
never forget trotsky gave us armored tanks
Ngl I dunno if this is an unpopular opinion, maybe I’m just ignorant or an actual liability, but I find it kind of hard to get bent out of shape about Trots or Trotskyism. Leon was really annoying, and yeah he did undermine the USSR in the end and his theory became a federal op, but he also built and was the leader of the Red Army during the civil war. Enough said.
Trots are fine in theory but then they come out to every fucking event and ruin it by being the biggest UM ACKCHUALLY nerds on the planet while pretending they're the only real communists. If they would shut the fuck up and work together with everyone else nobody would have a problem with them
Uhm aktually tru com can only be achieved if a developed nation becomes communist
Yeah, that must get grating quick
The point is not to hate on Trotsky, the point is that trotskyist orgs are disconnected from the workers, irrelevant and incapable of any mass mobilization. Ideologically trots hate on every AES state because to them only a "global revolution" is valid socialism. So they don’t ever have to challenge western narratives about authoritarianism etc.
Thinking Trotsky is solely responsible for the successes of the Red Army is lib great man theory and erases the contributions of everyone else involved
if i were a trotskyist I'd call myself an armored tankie
I appreciate her confronting the dems directly
