it really puts its finger on exactly why I struggle reading Trotsky. or Trotskyist articles, because they seem to have a doctrinal requirement that every 3rd paragraph they need to do what Lenin says but on Trotsky’s behalf, either that or shoe in a rant about STALINIST STALINITE STALINOID BUREAUCRACY removedD WORKERS STATE STALIN. I once read an article from a Trot org on Ukraine and they were talking about the (CIA-adjoined) SBU doing gestapo shit and made sure to pause to let us, the readers, know that THIS IS A LEGACY OF THE STALINIST BUREAUCRACY STALINIST NKVD yea ok buddy.
I also love the last Che quote “And also your friend trotsky, who existed and apparently wrote something” so catty lmao
