    Yeah, the austrian trots actually have solid and good positions. They have been hard at work since 07.10 to educate people on Palestine, and have been solid in their solidarity the whole time. I disagree on other matters with thwm, but rn, they are doing good work in my opinion.

      was just about to say, i clown on trots a lot, but most of them that are serious, especially these folks, are still infinitely better than a bernie demsucc. facing state violence just for expressing solidarity with palestine is both an insane reality and also importantly consistent work.

        They are part of the IMT, which is the only Trot party that I read. Their internationalist line is pretty solid, since they consider the USA to be the biggest, most dangerous Imperialist power.

          my only beef is that they take every opportunity to demonise the USSR and suck off Trotsky, and I think it's really funny in the UK that it took them over 30 years and several additional succdem purges to get them to give up entryism like their former comrades in the CWI

          I still subscribe to the paper though cause you gotta support whatever Left media there is

            They are at least very well read, you can talk about the USSR with trots and have a productive and respectful discussion. Other groups that actually demonise the USSR(western rad libs), just insult you, and refuse to engage with any argument.
