It seems like people mostly use trotskyist as a stand in for "anti-communist leftism" or "ultra," but what are the actual thoughts he contributed? Is there anything that is useful today and can be separated from anti-communism and the legacy of trots?

No newspaper memes please. I genuinely want to know.

(Ice pick memes are acceptable)

Edit: thanks for the info everyone. I'm proud of you all.

    I love seeing alternative models of development like this that don't require ingratiating global capital.

    People praise Deng's plan for development because it largely worked, but it has come at quite a cost. I always wonder what an alternative path could have looked like.
