This video is an explanation of the ideology of Trotskyism. I go into all major aspects of the ideology while remaining as brief as possible. I explain Marxi...
Viki makes the argument that it’s basically the same as Leninism. Is it just because he hated Stalin?
Hmmm. Communists should at some point study the Moscow trials enough to have an opinion on the matter. Trotsky was found to have been actively conspiring against the government of the USSR. Decades earlier he played a crucial role as a Bolshevik leader in the October revolution. From where I sit Trotskyism is the leftist faction that says the quiet part out loud. The quiet part of course being antistalinism. An even more interesting question is: is antistalinism/antisovietism the same as anticommunism?
While the cold war was still going on it absolutely was functionally the same as anticommunism, and now its basically obsolete and only serves to occupy people with trying to win moral victories in decades to century old conflicts, pretty much all of which has no side being more moral.
