It has to be more than just internationalism vs socialism in one country.

    I'd disagree, the average Trotskyist group has maybe the most basic level of "its better than the imperialists alternative" solidarity for most socialist countries except maybe Cuba as the most usual exception, yet will often join in on legitimising ops and protests against the state by finding or conjuring forth some miniscule left opposition that represents the true spirit of the workers in that country.

    The Tiananmen Square students is a good example, they wouldnt support the broader pro-capitalist riots, but those dang students who bravely sang the internationale were the true spirit of socialism in China when it comes to a lot of trots Ive encountered.
