It's written by a Trot, so of course it is, anything that succeeds must be denounced.
I didn't realize this was controversial. Are you intending to educate with a sufficiently sourced counter narrative, or are you trying to appear as a wretched, intellectually dishonest sectarian? At this moment I see a lot from the second category and nothing from the first.
I didn't think you'd take it quite so gravely. It looks like it's fine enough when it's not talking about trot factions, where is conspicuously takes up much more florid language to describe the eternal tragedy of victimized trots, as is tradition.
I asked for education, I got whatever weird non-marxist trip you are on.

If you weren't such a goofball, you'd have heard of uneven and combined development. Sectarian is the opposite of revolutionary.
I haven't got to it myself but I hear good things about Wen Teijun's Ten Crises: The Political Economy of China's Development (1949-2020)
