This is the only problem with Trots, it's just a very big one
when you meet a trot theyre either a real trot or a neocon. and even the real trots still do the state departments job for them.
is this sectarian? idk if we have any trots on here. i think its possible to have left unity with trots, just very few of them
Yeah I mean I don't think we have a lot of Trots because basically the only thing we insist on is supporting anti-imperialist struggle and that is like the one thing they refuse to do
I go to a local trot group. I go to a couple of other local leftist groups too when the mood strikes me. I try to interact with a variety of spaces so I can be exposed to different positions and see how I feel about them.
I guess I'm a trot? I hardly think Russia or China are shining examples of communism, and also aren't great for LGBT rights. Only one way to find out though - it's a pipe dream but I'd like to travel to China at some point to experience what it's like over there. (Yes, I know it's a big country and there are a lot of different parts of China, blah blah blah.) At my core I believe millionaires shouldn't exist and then I expand my politics from there in any compatible way.
I'm not commenting here to debate my politics, I'm just letting you know that I exist and I continue to love all the comrades of Hexbear whether they be tankies or something else. And you've all definitely opened my mind to a brand of leftism that doesn't see any local representation!
I may be a trot or I may be the ultimate left unity enthusiast. So yay! Love you all.
I spent three weeks in China (Beijing area) about ten years ago on a school trip. Loved every minute of it and part of me wishes I could uproot everything and teach ESL over there or something, but I keep telling myself I need to actually learn mandarin first.
