I’m new to communism and when I read about Trotsky and Trotskyism I see there’s many heavy criticism about him like “being a Menshevik”, “Nazi collaborator”. I think, Trotsky’s works like “History of the Russian Revolution to Brest-Litovsk”, “The Permanent Revolution” are should to read to deepen knowledge of communism and its history. I’m not a Trotskyist or Stalinist just trying to learn.
Why Trotskyist parties are seeing as traitors or divise? Why his books are denounced in communist communities?
Hmm, it works for me still. Could you try this other link and then let me know if it works? -> https://www.marxists.org/history/usa/parties/cpusa/anti-trotsky/Trotsky the Traitor - Bittleman.pdf
