Trots this and Trots that - sure, whatever, IMT has some cringe takes, but normalizing communist imagery and exposing people to even some of the most basic concepts is far superior to nothing. That the IMT can get 500 people out to an event proudly self-identifying as communists (whether you agree with their theory or not) is pretty impressive, and I think a hopeful development.
im only hopefuly if politically competent people go out and do it. Trotskyism is destined to crash and burn over its fucking obsession of hating stalinism
Honestly, it's not even about Stalin. Hate Stalin. Personally I like the guy the killed the Nazis, but their constant book licking for imperialists is fucking gross and makes me hate them with a passion.
You say trots are reactionary but they've been living in a commune inside Marxist-Leninists's heads for 100 years
