I see people who are left-liberal anticommunists getting called Tr*ts sometimes but I don’t know what exactly it means.
What characterises a Trotskyist?
The only things I know are that Trotsky:
- was opposed to Stalin.
- wanted international revolutions.
- perished because of an ice-pick attack. (Not sure about this.)
In meme form:
No seriously tho, my main objection is that its west/euro-centric. This vid by Taimur Rahman, who spent a ton of years in trotskyist orgs in the US, outlines the theoretical underpinnings for this and why trotskyism (despite a few of his texts being not bad), has been a complete historical failure, and ignored by the global south.
