Q: Who here is opposed to, and who supportive of, Trotsky-ism?

A) OPPOSED
B) SUPPORTIVE

-----------------------------------------

NOTE: This consensus deals only with the phenomenon of Trotsky-ism.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Again, neither supportive nor opposed

Points for Trotskysm
1-Trotskysm makes no concession to chauvinism and antisemitism
2-Trotskysm, correctly, points to isolation and backwardness of USSR as a important factor in the rise of bureacracy that eventually destroyed the revolution
3-Trotskysm has few illusions on reformism
4-Trotskysm call for international revolution

Points against Trotskysm
1-Trostkysm don´t identifies the one party system as being a main factor in the failure of Soviet revolution
2-Trotsky offered no real alternative to overcome the backwardeness and isolation of USSR. His suggested policies were an invitation to agression
3-Trotskyst are unable to cooperate with other socialist tendencies (btw, they are unable to cooperate between themselves)
4-Trotskysts are always seeing revolutionary situations where the is nothing....they must understand that the "October paradigm" was valid only in a very special situation.
