I regularly see trots being memed about because "they do nothing apart from writing newspapers", but to me from their viewpoint (and as an anarchist) it totally makes sense and is a sympathetic view how it should be the workers leading the fight towards a revolution and the vanguard should stand aside and take the role of advisors (hence the newspapers) rather than leaders.

I feel like i'm missing something but i don't know what.

Poland wasn't ruled by trots.

Poland however had unions that weren't party-controlled, which allowed them to be infiltrated by western agents and utilized as a tool to subvert the Polish Socialist Republic, with the largest of the bunch, known as Solidarność, spearheading the reactionary counter-revolution and plunged Poland into the socio-economic and political abyss that is today's Poland.
