#Fascism and #Reaction versus #Trotskyism #Revolution #Socialism

What is fascism? with Trotskyist David North, Socialist Equality Party
(2019, 8.5 mins)
youtube.com/watch?v=GCSodSijB_

"...if the objective conditions are acted upon not only can fascism be defeated but we can establish a socialist society. That is our perspective and history proves that is correct.

Fascism doesn't just waltz into power. It's a punishment, to be blunt, for the failure of the working class to create that leadership."

I'm not trusting a Trotskyist. I'll stick to actual Marxism-Leninism, not Trotsky's anti-Leninist creation of an ideology.

@Radical_EgoCom It is good to have multiple angles of leftist analyses out there. It is good to have discourse about those perspectives so we can hone our ideas against each other's--even if a single agreed upon conclusion is not met, that discourse is mutually beneficial. Your comments here don't come across as thoughtful or constructive, they just feel overly petty and obsessive.

I won't act as if I know you, but as someone who has followed your account for a while, seeing your recent shift into the likes of Stalin apologia and support for Russia have been very concerning to see as an observer. It feels like the "I am the arbiter of rationality" debate lord attitudes from the new atheist movement applied to leftism.

I can't help it if that's how you view my comments and if you dislike my transition from Anarcho-Communism to Marxism-Leninism. The political choices have been based on studying political theory and aren't based on others' perceptions of them.

@Radical_EgoCom I met you after you'd already moved away from anarcho-communist positions, and I don't have any inherent issues with marxism-leninism.

If you can't see how your comments here aren't constructive, and just come off as petty, then I can't help you either. You'll have to figure things out yourself.

@facsimile_willows

What do you even mean by "not constructive" and "petty"? You keep saying these words to describe my comments, but using these undescriptive words doesn't say anything about what you find unconstructive and petty about my comments.
