Me seeing other Communists giving out literature: ๐
Me after realizing that they're a part of the RCP (a.k.a Revolutionary Communist Party, a.k.a Trotskyists): ๐ฉ

I'm kinda new what's wrong with Trotskyists?
The concept of "Permanent Revolution" is failed theory to begin with, while Marxism-Leninism is not.
Secondly, the reason most Marxists have problems with Trots, is because Trots descend from the Menshevik "Left" Communists Lenin railed against in "Left"-Wing Communism, an Infantile Disorder. They tend to focus far more on purity than results, and thus are the source of countless splits and left-infighting.
Trots generally oppose AES as well, meaning they play into the hands of Western Imperialists, rather than supporting the Global South against Western Imperialism.
Trots are better than liberals, social democrats, and so forth, but there is good reason they are basically only found in the West, while Marxism-Leninism dominates most of the world outside the West, among Marxist strains.
Thanks! Do you have groups you recommend in Canada/Quebec?
Some don't like that they're too communist
No. What many Marxist-Leninists, at least, don't like about Trotskyist is their extremely flawed ideology.
I recommend you read this book that further explains the problems with Trotskyism: https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/stalin/works/1924/11/_19.htm
Yea, Stalin's not a trustworthy authority on communism (all puns very much intended) but it's interesting anyway. There was a lot happening and affecting that falling out
I see no reason why Stalin would be an untrustworthy authority on communist ideology.
Ehh the joke is lost
There is no joke. I don't see why Stalin would be an untrustworthy authority on communist ideology. Based on the books I've read of his, he seems to be very trustworthy in his analysis and explanation of the ideology of communism and socialism.
