I just genuinely don’t get what attracts people to Trotskyism when it’s had nothing to show for itself nearly a century on.
It's "pure" of the hardships and stains that successful resolutions have to go through and endure. They get to live in an ideal world where their revolution would have been perfect and done with no flaws, if only they weren't betrayed by the traitorous Stalinists. Every leftcom gets to live in their fantasy world where they would have been the ones to do the revolution perfectly, with no flaws or difficulties. No compromises or mistakes.
Their martyrdom fetish lets them wash their hands of all sins that real revolutions have to face. In exchange, they have helped nobody and have inched us nowhere closer to socialism.
Every failed political project is just a goldmine for some PhD student's research paper
