    Belden is neither a socialist nor a democrat, but a highly disoriented petty-bourgeois radical.

    The campaign posters in support of Belden at the university featured him in the pose of Che Guevara—in military fatigues, sporting an AK-47 assault rifle and smoking a large cigar. The Cuban petty-bourgeois nationalist leader notoriously befriended and gave refuge to Ramón Mercader, the Stalinist assassin who murdered Leon Trotsky, the co-leader of the Russian revolution.

    Lmao who the fuck gets so mad about trivial shit like this. Aren't Trotskyists supposed to be concerned with the world revolution or something, why are you trying get a dirtbag podcaster cancelled

          World Socialist Website. Run by...i dunno, the ICFI? Or the ISFI? who cares. They're mainline trots, anyway.

          Have a lot of useful coverage and are a good source as long as you remember they're trots and oppose basically all socialism that exists.

      Shouldn't Trotskyists like Che? His whole thing was running around trying to start revolutions everywhere.

        Trotskyists often can barely stand Trotsky at times (Cliffites for example).
