#Trotskyism has been one of the most persistent and damaging opportunist ideological opponents of #Marxism-#Leninism within the left. In the next several articles, we’re going to look at the origin and development of this ideology, what it is and what it seeks to accomplish. But first, who was #Trotsky, and what is Trotskyism?

From 1981, a special issue of Workers Republic after the death of Bobby Sands.

Published by the League for a Workers' Republic, a Trotskyist organisation active from 1968 until the late 80s.

Anyone want to be in a reading group about #Trotskyism? I started it a year ago, and it's been going pretty much every week.

These are good thoughts but they are really the work product of an organization with a history of #tankie errors so I am not linking. I find it troubling that #theleft is so divided but #Stalinism is ugly and #Trotskyism is hardly an improvement. Hence, #anarchism is popular w #millenials #zoomers & #DIY crowd. But, yeah, I like this perspective # #laborsolidarity

One problem I have with the country is that it was very authoritarian from the beginning on. The Communist Party of Vietnam was always notorious to crack down on opponents of its party line, even when those people where communists too.
An example from this is the repression of the Trostkyites during the Vietnam Civil War.

Anyways, it was interesting to watch.
