    FFS why not just be ML and skip the pointless gymnastics? It shouldn't be controversial to anyone that no state is or will ever be perfect and that socialism is a transitional stage. I guess it still provides some cover (that apparently they still need having not grown out of their idealism) to be able to call AES states bad guy totalitarians that the good guy trots are better and purer than?

    Edit: I'm referring here to Marcyites, not PSL as an org.

      For all intents and purposes, they basically are MLs, as others responding to my comment have pointed out.

      They just ended up reinventing the wheel, through a really weird, round-about way, that I find interesting.

        Dialectics and understanding material reality goes a long way even if you don't know what dialectics means and haven't read any theory

          Bingo. Darwin wouldn't have had much, if any idea about dialectics or its minutia. But his theory of natural selection is an incredible work of dialectical materialism, that outlines all the same laws of motion, just in different terms.
