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?

    I would then add, after learning more on marxism-leninsm, it may be worthwhile re-reading Trotsky with a dialectical materialist lens, with a perspective of the Global South who do not have the privileges of those from the imperial cores.

    I should heed my own advice.

    Added to my re-reading list. Thank you
