I am fairly certain Marxists.org is run by trotskyites, unfortunately.

Evidence dumpNote how Trotsky is presented here.

Compare it to how they present Stalin.

In their Library, here are but a few examples of them using "Stalinist" this same way.

Everybody's favorite anti-Stalinist hero...

They offer such an invaluable service. They are also, unfortunately, insufferable.

Their line on Hungary 1956 is very wack and full of empire lies

Pièce de résistance, here they are not only being obnoxious Trotsky stans, but also racist.

Racism goes with the Troskyite territory. Take this, for example, from Trotsky's "If America Should Go Communist" (1934):

I don't quite feel like subjecting myself to the text itself (I'm on a workbreak, I'll probably remember later and source it), but I'm almost certain Trotsky thought Afrikan-Amerikans spoke a different language lol.

IIRC he was asked if black Amerikans constituted their own nation and deserved support in their self-determination thereof.

Ah, nevermind. Here we are. Top ten Trotsky quote.

Fair enough for a Soviet politician not to know every facet of Amerikan race issues, I suppose. Still... I can't deny how silly this is, and knowing this little probably should have prevented him from speaking on the issue at all.

That is a wild read of Lukacs lol

is run by trotskyites

Their web design is the first thing that tipped me off.

Damn, didn’t realize Khrushchev was a dirty Stalinist./s

[-] SovereignState@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 year ago

I guess Stalin's corpse was responsible for the crushing of the Hungarian revolt. Khruschev was a good little anti-Stalinist, the bravest of the USSR's leadership in fact!

They offer such an invaluable service

It just makes me trust it less knowing that they’re editing stuff like this without making it clear they’re doing this to people who are looking for a Marxist text and stumble across a copy there.

[-] SovereignState@lemmygrad.ml 21 points 1 year ago

mfw you're so anti-dogmatic you literally just edit the parts of history and theory you don't like out

[-] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago

how stalinist of them joker-troll

[-] usernamesaredifficul@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

it's really weird how Trotskyists will complain about the USSR not being liberal enough. Secret police was one of Trotsky's ideas

Trotsky was a lot of things he was not liberal

[-] SovereignState@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Trotsky sought to organize the proletariat along military lines. Trotsky gave the order to crush the Kronstadt rebellion.

His "anti-Stalinism" makes him a romantic lil anti-authoritarian bean in the eyes of imperial "communists", though.
