  • Why can’t we set up another international?

  • Ok, so, what I'm understanding of your position is that Trotskyism is inherently racist and uses "critique" to detail conversation? Is this a correct assesment? Or are you saying that the ideas and modes of thought are being used to forward racism?

    I'm also interested in your comment about how critiquing the CPC (not sure of the acronym, I'm assuming the Chinese communist party?) is inherently racist. I understand that, especially now given China's rise on the global economy, that sinophobia is for sure on the rise but I don't see why we can't say "the CPC has its faults and those exist for x,y,z reason and therefore we should try and mitigate those in our own context". I think that if we don't take the stance of critical support, you run into issues with dogmatism.

    If I've misunderstood or misrepresented what you've said, I'm happy to be wrong.

  • I'm curious, then, as to what kind of critique you're referring to when you call it "cancer" because I grew up basically surrounded by trotskyist librarian types who have been in and around labour struggles their whole adult lives and I've never heard any critique that didn't have at least 3 citations from history and philosophy. Do I always agree with their interpretation? No, but that doesn't diminish the value of said critique.

  • Being critical and supportive is not a bad thing. If there is no critique you can't improve. Be selective about the critiques you value of course, but to just say that any critique is "Trotskyist cancer" is absurd and dangerous.

  • The entire right, center, and the libertarian left (anarkiddies) have united to celebrate the Ban of r/TheDeprogram because they hate tankies.

  • Rosa Talks about it in Reform or Revolution in a way I always quote at social democrats because it's both funny and true:

    Fourier’s scheme of changing, by means of a system of phalansteries, the water of all the seas into tasty lemonade was surely a fantastic idea. But Bernstein, proposing to change the sea of capitalist bitterness into a sea of socialist sweetness, by progressively pouring into it bottles of social reformist lemonade, presents an idea that is merely more insipid but no less fantastic.

    It's still true a century later and SocDems (I include DemSocs in this category too) are no more radical.

  • This is the economy she wanted. I'm sure wherever she is she's fucking giddy the old hag. What's worse is that these people treat the situation like an act of God, as if they have no ability to change anything. As such "Managed Decline" rolls on- right next to its pal Social Murder
