I talked to them and they were pretty nice. Tried to sell me a newspaper though! But I expected them to do that.

"Even though at one time Trotskyism represented an erroneous position, but a position in the field of political ideas, Trotskyism became during the following years a vulgar instrument of imperialism and reaction. This is the way these gentlemen think. For example, in relation to South Vietnam, where a broad revolutionary front has united the overwhelming majority of the people and various sectors of the population, has united them closely around the liberation movement in the struggle against imperialism. For the Trotskyists that is absurd; that is counterrevolutionary. Yet these gentlemen who serve imperialism have the gall to do such an unusual thing in the face of the facts and realities of history and against the revolutionary movement and to express themselves in this manner. "

-Fidel Castro, 1966

Trotskyists support Lenin but opposed the USSR. They also deny the existence of AES states. They oppose China, Vietnam, etc. They also oppose labor unions. They're known for selling newspapers.
