What is it with the left and never having succession plans? I feel like this Has happened a bunch in the last 5 years alone. Pre coup MAS didn’t Have a candidate popular enough to win Which is arguably why Morales ran again. Lula’s replacement was not popular in the slightest and just down right terrible. Labor now. Am I overthinking something or is there a legit issue with popular left leaders not really working on growing a popular successor.

Tito not having a succesor, Nasser not having a succesor, stalin kinda, etc etc
Tito and Stalin was the specific threat of a Popular (Or capable) successor Usurping them. Come to think of it Evo had a bit of that too.
Tankies don’t kill me but like, maybe we need to actually have a deep discussion about this.
stalin kinda stroked the fuck out and khrushchev basically couped his way to general secretary, shoulda been molotov feelsbad
Did Molotov have any chance? All I’ve read says no
i don't remember exactly but there were a few non revisionists who had a chance
