    Definitely, but I’m somewhat numb to that since Stalin is an obviously controversial figure in the West anyway, so I’m also surprised at how viciously they denounce anyone trying to apply even Trotsky’s own theories to a real world reality as pseudo-leftist, let alone any existing union organization. Textbook ultra-leftism (although oddly many of their sects engage in electoralism).

    I remember the first time I came across an article of theirs, I was thinking it was decent and then out of nowhere, a hamfisted non-sequitur paragraph brings up Leon Trotsky who by the way did you know this was killed by Joeseph Joestarlin in 1940? Trotsky themself barely had any relevance, let alone their assassination.

    It’s almost like a vocal tic, or perhaps a quota.
