minus-squareGonzalothot [none/use name]hexbear13·3 years agoWouldn't be too surprised if the Cliffite Trots and third campists were. Movements and organizations Cliffite Trots (like the recently dissolved ISO) showed solidarity with (at least initially): The “mujahideen” in Afghanistan against the socialist government and the Soviet Union The “Velvet Revolution” in Czechoslovakia which brought neoliberal capitalism to power The pro-Western “Orange Revolution” in Ukraine The pro-Western “Rose Revolution” in Georgia The 1991 overthrow of the USSR (trumpeting Boris Yeltsin) The Kosovo Liberation Army (a fascist force) The middle-class and pro-Western Green movement in Iran The Libyan rebels that championed NATO intervention The Free Syrian Army that champions NATO intervention Movements and organizations Cliffite Trots refused to support, and attacked instead as “Stalinist”: The Cuban Revolution and the Communist Party of Cuba The United Socialist Party of Venezuela, Hugo Chávez and the Bolivarian Revolution The Chinese Revolution and the Communist Party of China including during the Mao era North Korea, even during the Korean War The Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia Many orthodox Trots (particularly the ones in Latin America) tend to be generally anti-imperialist though. link
