Some don't like that they're too communist
What do you mean "too Communist?"
Some people have affinities towards right-wing principles so that makes trots too much for them
What are these "right-wing principles" non-Trot Communists have an affinity for?
Lmao. https://taiyangyu.medium.com/trotskyists-dont-believe-anything-554a93dc2faa
Yep, that's a great article I love sharing.
I was reminded of it because of the other user
No no, not necessarily non-trot communists but anyone
So Trots are the "true leftists" in your opinion? So true and pure they haven't successfully had a single revolution, so they are untainted by reality?
Nah, purity tests or sectarianism aren't useful
@tiredturtle @Binette
No. What many Marxist-Leninists, at least, don't like about Trotskyist is their extremely flawed ideology.
I recommend you read this book that further explains the problems with Trotskyism: https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/stalin/works/1924/11_19.htm
Yea, Stalin's not a trustworthy authority on communism (all puns very much intended) but it's interesting anyway. There was a lot happening and affecting that falling out
@tiredturtle
I see no reason why Stalin would be an untrustworthy authority on communist ideology.
Ehh the joke is lost
@tiredturtle
There is no joke. I don't see why Stalin would be an untrustworthy authority on communist ideology. Based on the books I've read of his, he seems to be very trustworthy in his analysis and explanation of the ideology of communism and socialism.
