Is this guy a revisionist or what? I like his explanation of Marxist concepts but his analysis of existing socialism consistently falls short

Hes a trotskyist but his main focus is on worker coops
I am convinced anyone in academia claiming to be a Marxist, as a condition, has to be basically spouting nonsense 24\7 to not be fired
? Explain please.
He released a video about Trotsky where he pours adoration on him
Doesn’t make him a trotskyist though. If we followed that line of logic, we may as well just call ourselves stalinists instead of MLs.
Yeah, Trotsky was an admirable military strategist at the times of the Bolshevik Revolution. It just happens he turned out to be a counter-revolutionary in the later stages of his life. Reality is contradictory, why wouldn’t humans also be, right?
There was a mass purge of actual marxist thinkers from education & news institutions in the cold war era and I have not seen any evidence of the dominant outlets of news & education have changed their approaches towards marxism. Anyone making direct, unconditional assertion that labor creates all value is discouraged heavily from doing so no matter how much the org would stand to benefit from their work.
I have no doubt that the smart, effective capitalists study Marx tho
