THE TROUBLE WITH TROTSKYITES

 

 In Britain today there are a number of political organizations which base themselves on the teachings of Leon Trotsky, the counter-revolutionary renegade who defected from and opposed the Soviet Union.  These include the Socialist Workers Party, the Socialist Party, the Alliance for Workers Liberty and a multitude of splinters from these organizations. 

 

Although the Trotskyite groups are slowly dying they still have the capacity to put a lot of people off the struggle for socialist revolution.  Some of the ways they do this are:

 

 

·                           They are underhand, devious and undemocratic in their approach  to other people in political activity.

 

 

·                     They see no need for engaging with the people in formulating political policies but arrogantly think that they already know all the answers.

 

 

·                           They talk a lot about the working class but in practice base  themselves on the middle strata.

 

 

·                               They talk of revolution but in reality engage in reformist  politics such as supporting the Labour Party.

 

 

·                               They see trade unions as potentially revolutionary   organizations -  when in fact they are not – and reject  forceful, revolutionary  struggle.

 

 

·                               They usually refrain from engaging in illegal political actions   which challenge the authority of the capitalist state.

 

 

·                               They attack the past achievements of socialist transformation   made in Russia and China in the past while they have never made any revolutionary breakthroughs anywhere.

 

 

·                               They dismiss the revolutionary struggles of peasants and other non-working class elements in less developed countries while   claiming that revolution must come first in the imperialist

  c                countries.

 

 Trotskyites participate in popular movements – such as the struggles against racism and public spending cuts – with the aims of steering them in a harmless, reformist direction and to recruit members to their organizations. They give revolution a bad name and everything they get their dead hands on turns to dust.

 

 THE NECESSITY OF REVOLUTION

 

 It is more than ever before necessary to overthrow capitalism.  The periodic economic crashes, murderous imperialist wars and environmental devastation caused by this system of oppression and exploitation mean that either we destroy capitalism or it will destroy us.  In Britain the need to build a genuine revolutionary movement to overthrow capitalism is very urgent.  Trotskyites around the world have shown themselves to be incapable of doing so.

 

Join with us in the struggle to create a real, Marxist-Leninist-Maoist revolutionary party!
