/trot/ -- Trotskyism General

never ever u tank

Trotskyism makes more sense when contextualized, and for a while it was needed to counterweigh some tendencies of Stalinism that were being pushed around as established Marxist/Socialist dogma among people who didn't know any better. But other than that, you're right. He's one of my favorite 20th century Marxists but I don't like to call myself a Trotskyist either.

And Trotskyism is far from a personality cult. People in his faction disagreed with him all the time, and suffered no consequence but that of receiving a response in a newspaper. Trotskyism in the UK-US develop an antagonism to the Soviet Union that he himself warned against.

Trotsky?
More like….
Thotsky.

Reminder that Trots = neocons is a meme literally made up by right wingers and leftists should stop parroting this type of nonsense

Trots may not be NeoCons, but they certainly aren't people neither.

Impressive. Very nice.


I just started on The Revolution Betrayed. Is this the right pick to start with Trotsky, and what would you recommend afterwards?

Making a "general" is kinda stupid, but interacting with other leftists and making insightful effortposts will do more for people to understand and be more open to Trots than spamming pdfs and shitposting with trolls who come to this thread.

Read Posadas. Posadism is the logical conclusion to Trotskyism. Unironically read Posadas.

stalin and trotsky are pretty much the chad and beta meme irl when you think about it

why do trots love rape so much?
