Trot hate general

I thought the newspaper and entryism thing was just a meme. Never expected they'd be that obnoxious. What the fuck is wrong with Trots?

to be fair that lady was right, you shouls join PSL, I am a member. DSA is an anti Marxist Identity Politics organization literally ran by cops and mainly has pseudo socialists in the movement. 0/10 DSA is fucking garbage and should be left alone

If I wanted to spend my days selling papers I'd get a job at a newsstand.

Spoiler alert, your new job at Democratic Cops is selling Jacobin subscriptions.

btw PSL aren't Trots and they don't sell newspapers.

Not really entryism when they're open about it and not trying to get into positions of influence in the org though.

Could you tell us more about PSL in general?

yeah I know PSL aren't Trots I'm just saying join because PSL is actually a really solid political party

how so

actually I joined a while ago comrade.

PSL may not be Trots but fun fact, their lineage actually is Trotty. They are a split from the WWP who are in turn a split from the SWP.

Yeah, the history of the org is "Marcyite." Marcy was a Trot who basically looked at the evidence and was forced to admit that Stalin did a lot of good things. From there it was only a matter of time before the Marcyites stopped being Trots entirely.

There needs to be an infographic for all this trot splitting shit.

incredible, they somehow made trotskyism even worse

*better

That experience turned me off from activism. God damn trots. These fuckers are thinking of activism like a religioun. It doesn't matter that it doesn't help shit, it just matters that they do it. They have spent so many years doing this stupid shit that they have to keep believing that it's working and that thier bringing the proletarian revolution just around the corner. They'd always talk with that super positive vide, like NOW the proles are waking up when really it's the same old shit. How can anyone live like that

AROUND THE ROSE, HOLD YOUR NOSE

I hate all of you.

PSL is also a joke

become a Wobbly

Yeah, revolution isn't happening soon, but you won't know if it's possible unless you just try. That's why these old guys have stuck around in a party for so long. They're waiting for the real movement. That said, sure, this group sounds like it's out of touch. But can you blame them if they lived through the decadent 80's and 90's? Communists of all stripes have been at their weakest for decades in America.

IWW has some good local chapters, but it's not a party.

...

This is the cringiest fucking thing. Guys what is the best intro to Bordiga?

This, but with trots

...

Well yeah, truth can be pretty obnoxious.

Some trot organizations admittedly have shit praxis, but not all of them. I've rarely been disappointed with SAlt or ISO.

Dude SA is pushing it, but ISO is absolutely horrible. Google them, there is a ton of dirt on their imperialist, paranoid organization.

I guess I was beaten to it but I put four minutes worth of work into this so I'll post it anyway.

I'm just going off personal experience. Maybe their leadership is terrible, I'm not sure.

kek go put it in the OC thread anyway

Yes. It's not enough to go off of your experiences with local branches, because the whole idea is that these parties want to get way bigger. When they actually get big, the guys running the party will stay in charge, and that's when shit goes very wrong unless you make sure before hand that the party is correct at every level.

...

although that was a shitpost, I forgot to take off the ayncrap fag.

I suppose that's true. I'll look into it more and decide how I feel about them.

Politics begin where the masses are.

good trots:

PSL (crypto-trots)
WWP (slightly less crypto trots)
SA sometimes but bad lately

bad trots:

literally everyone else

We have to #resist DRUMPF!! DSA are social democrats! SAlt are the REAL REVOLUTIONARY VANGUARD
tHAT's why we need $15 minimum wage, healthcare, free college and an end to the war on drugs!
SOCIAL DEMOCRACY WOULD NEVER DO THAT!

Oh fuck off, you language policing SJW. He just typed 3 letters. What, will it summon Hitler from the dead?

lel SA does transitional demands. it's basic Trotskyism. they use all of this stuff to build the party for smashing capitalism. A $15 min wage is not their end goal.

It is super important that groundwork be done, and orgs be ready and waiting for when opportunities present themselves.

Being involved with orgs teaches members leadership as well which is a skill everyone needs, even those who will only ever want to be followers.

...

...

They're cultists and should be treated as such. I don't know how it's possible but this is how trots act in literally every country

No

Trots on Holla Forums I find are nice. Partially this is probably because there's about 3 of them, but whatever.

In real life however (where the standards of identification are much lower and it's generally "Blairite/Boring/"Trot"/Tankie")…

got my own back in a sense when i got drunk and started making tankie jokes and launching (unprompted) into praising the USSR and celebrating that "we" (i.e. the left) had delivered something like that. Think i genuinely pissed off a few of the Orwell-loving cataLARPers, but whatever. The real opinion formers of the day (the Blairites) had fucked off clubbing like the ponces they are by this stage.

Was slightly worried the next day as I was certain I'd be sick in my bin from drinking too much I wondered about the newspapers that they all wanted people to buy. Felt as though they're the kind of people who'd bully you into humiliating yourself selling newspapers for the profit of some inner circle if you got too close to 'em. Despite coming across like walking jokes there's still a vague sense some of the Trots could get you killed, or at least beat you up.

Labour - the opposition party.

hmm

it's literally true though. he filed to resign like three times and he repeatedly made attempts to enhance the democracy that was in place and reduce the bureaucracy. moreover, the party and the masses regularly got to vote against his personal stance on issues. Stalin was not a "dictator" in any meaningful sense.

That’s where you went wrong annon.

And this is why I’m just a regular socialist and not a communist.

lmao

...

What did he mean by this?

No, actually, what DID he mean by this? I've got no idea

did you just come from reddit?

ITT: Brainlets.

Learn the science of National Trotskyism before embarrassing yourselves. We rule you cockroaches.

I support worker ownership of the means of production, but I think a state will ALWAYS exist and that’s a good thing.

Leftcom-cat

a 9mm to the head

And why would the state be necessary when class antagonisms would no longer exist?

retard detected

What org?


I know you DemSuccs mistook the WWP for Trots in the last thread you made.

Why are you here

yeah, they basically think "Trot" is a magic word they can fling at their critics to get people to trust socdems.

sorta like Holla Forums thinks "socdem" is a magic word you can fling at groups to discredit them

To preserve law and order. To stop crime such as murder. Criminals have alwayse existed and getting rid of class antagonisms won’t change that. Also states are a useful form of political organization.

nobody else in the world use's that dumb fucking definition of a state

you are literally a socdem

If only suckdems didn't make their own label an epithet in the first place and continue to justify it as such.

I can only imagine what a hideous bunch of socially outcast degenerates showed up at this meeting.

dsa is a bougie club and most leftcoms and trots try to work in essential industries in order to strike or organize workers

also most democratic 'rights' are about do disappear in the word of the law, which werent 'upheld' in the previous form of bourgeois democracy (neolibs in power) but nonetheless witheld status, that pretty much spells fascism in the poltically minded. We dont want to organize whispering down the lanes at guantanamo, so excuse us for pushing a revolutionary agenda and not a netflix and chill based solution to relieve the current crisis.

what are the dsa doing to organize political action outside of voting?

leftcom & trot gets a lot of shit for airmchairing but if we're out there trying to fucking talk to people, 'oh he wasn't an aesthetic airmchairboy thicc🆖🅱🅱🅰' or whatever else. So which is it?

Good point, these socdems absolutely hate seeing people try to put across a communist message of any kind, and they will attack it on purely aesthetic grounds.

PSL is pretty sick honestly but DSA isn't bad. If I joined a party it'd probably be PSL but DSA is the most relevant socialist org in the US with genuine leftist members, even if some of the old succdem leadership is still clinging on for dear life and defending the cop that lied his way to the top.
