:desolate:

I don't think I have to explain why this doesn't represent the majority of anarchists but if you say it does you're just being insufferable on purpose

    this reminds me of the Trotsky quote I saw yesterday where the only anarchist he ever met in prison was a complete sicko hanging out with the robbers and murderers and he did not want to talk about theory

      I probably wouldn’t want to talk theory with Trotsky either.

      I’d get drunk with him, but I’m pretty sure he’d immediately try to debate me if we talked politics and that’s boring.

        You know, what the hell was wrong with Trotsky anyway? I don't really know the history behind him, but some of his writings seem reasonable but obviously he was fucking up somehow, otherwise he would not have gotten merc'd....by Mercader

          My take: Extremely contrarian and insecure to the point he sabotaged a lot of relationships. Also very dogmatic and resulted in him attempting to undermine AES projects he split from.

          Any Trotskyite buds on here, feel free to correct me. I’m sure this is a biased understanding!

          Dude they were all nerds. But Trotsky was a badass, too. He ran the Red Army for a while. Don't sell him short, he was very competent.
