Just got my mail in ballot and there are I think six different socialist parties on here. Who's who? (lemmy.crimedad.work)

We've got the following:

  • Socialism and Liberation
  • Vote Better
  • C4C 2024
  • Socialist Equality
  • All of Us!
  • Socialist Workers Party

I only remember Socialism and Liberation (PSL, right?) being on the ballot last time. Are the others I listed any more or less serious? The Socialist Workers Party rings a bell, but that's only because I vaguely recall them being mentioned when I looked up Trotskyism one time. No one seems to have anything nice to say about Trotskyists and I'm honestly not sure what the deal is there.

I'm just trying to figure this out because I like filling in bubbles and I might as well do it in the service of the socialist project.

In the West, Trotskyism is also seen as an acceptable alternative to “Stalinism” and the Soviet Union.

It’s the reason mindset behind why liberals idealise failed revolutions but despise those that succeed.
