Right, Trotsky saw his role as promoting Leninism as he interpreted it. Trotsky would be relevant to this thread if someone took issue with Trotsky's interpretation of Leninism, rather than just Trotsky. He, did think that the removal of James P. Cannon and Jay Lovestone as leaders of the CPUSA demonstrated that the Comintern had abandoned Leninism. Much could be said about Trotsky's theory of organization and the many, many Trotskyist/Leninist organizations it has spawned in the same countries. And one of his favorite "Trotskyist" parties, the US SWP, evolved into a cult where the central leader eventually sold their Manhattan property and put the proceeds into his personal bank account, according to one study of the transaction. That would make Trotsky relevant to this thread. But the usual anti-Trotsky coprology is irrelevant. Mark -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
