I think I just had a brilliant idea... What if we turned the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution into a Broadway musical as a way to radicalize liberals? (hexbear.net)

So, I guess sort of like Hamilton, but with Lenin, Trotsky, and Stalin.

This idea is either brilliant or incredibly terrible. You be the judge.

All the libs would sympathize with trotsky the most and none of the newly radicalized viewers will be in the same party

So many leftists have internalized the Liberal myth of Trotsky (he's just like Snowball from the farm animal book!!!), and in contrarianism now have an equally inaccurate view of the man. One formed almost entirely by memes, with no examination of his actual actions, and thought.

Like yeah, the guy who: led the Red army in the Russian Civil War, and supported the Chinese Communists when the Party (including Stalin) backed the Kuomintang) must've just been a huge Lib all that time.

Read "The Revolution Betrayed", its good and Trotsky's has only been vindicated in his belief that the USSR would fall as a result of a Capitalistic restoration led by the Bureaucracy.

Just because some shitty parties call themselves "Trotskyist" doesn't mean the man was bad, Euro-Communism was led by shitty parties who called themselves Marxist.
