Ayyyy

2017-12-06 20:08:40 UTC  

Finally another trot

2017-12-06 20:08:43 UTC  

i thought all the newcomers were tanks

2017-12-06 20:08:52 UTC  

@olev did we just become friends?

2017-12-06 20:09:01 UTC  

Stalin even credited Trotsky for leading the red army

2017-12-06 20:09:10 UTC  

well yeah

2017-12-06 20:09:10 UTC  

before removing it from his writing for his narrative

2017-12-06 20:09:16 UTC  

we cannot simply condemn him for everything

2017-12-06 20:09:18 UTC  

Newcomer? I have been for awhile

2017-12-06 20:09:19 UTC  

he did do some good things

2017-12-06 20:09:22 UTC  

like be a good strategist

2017-12-06 20:09:30 UTC  

and help lead the red army

2017-12-06 20:09:39 UTC  

then again, stalin did do some stuff too

2017-12-06 20:09:50 UTC  

Hmm

2017-12-06 20:09:51 UTC  

he was basically a smaller version of trotsky, but in the caucasian front

2017-12-06 20:09:54 UTC  

he took tsaritsin

2017-12-06 20:09:55 UTC  

Like kill people that disagreed with him

2017-12-06 20:10:02 UTC  

deport ethnic minorities

2017-12-06 20:10:21 UTC  

exploitation and manipulation to secure power

2017-12-06 20:10:27 UTC  

Purging the soviets

2017-12-06 20:10:31 UTC  

Basically, Stalin is not a cool guy

2017-12-06 20:10:34 UTC  

ect. ec.t ect.

2017-12-06 20:10:56 UTC  

is anyone here for left unity?

2017-12-06 20:11:12 UTC  

Depends with who

2017-12-06 20:11:20 UTC  

And for what

2017-12-06 20:11:26 UTC  

In the case of revolution, no

2017-12-06 20:11:31 UTC  

If it's against reactionaries then yes

2017-12-06 20:11:34 UTC  

Agreed

2017-12-06 20:11:49 UTC  

but full left unity?

2017-12-06 20:11:55 UTC  

Not gonna happen

2017-12-06 20:12:01 UTC  

damn that's rough

2017-12-06 20:12:06 UTC  

Anarchists won't unify with anyone, tankies won't unify with anyone

2017-12-06 20:12:25 UTC  

Tankies hate everyone else, everyone else hates tankies

2017-12-06 20:12:25 UTC  

i got this party in serbia where we have demsocs, tanks, trots and ancoms all with full left unity

2017-12-06 20:12:35 UTC  

Maybe we can unify trots and leftcoms though

2017-12-06 20:13:03 UTC  

Could happen

2017-12-06 20:13:18 UTC  

leftcoms are the best meme of the century tbh

2017-12-06 20:13:47 UTC  

Trotsky predicted that revolution, when isolated, would inevitably become a bureaucracy

2017-12-06 20:13:57 UTC  

This is because backwards places like Russia lack the productive forces

2017-12-06 20:14:04 UTC  

And a bureaucracy arises from this

2017-12-06 20:14:11 UTC  

wait i gotta get my trot bingo card out
