I regularly see trots being memed about because “they do nothing apart from writing newspapers”, but to me from their viewpoint (and as an anarchist) it totally makes sense and is a sympathetic view how it should be the workers leading the fight towards a revolution and the vanguard should stand aside and take the role of advisors (hence the newspapers) rather than leaders.
I feel like i’m missing something but i don’t know what.
How does the newspaper obsession advance this idea?
Well from what i get it’s a way to spread revolutionary ideas and then the workers will surely do something, huh.
And how has that been working out? Does literally anyone even read these publications?
