Wouldn'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.
Most communists understandably tend to have a very negative opinion of Ceaușescu and consider him to be among the worst socialist leaders of the Eastern bloc. Despite this, a 2014 poll showed that:
A 2018 study by polling institute Isogep showed that Nicolae Ceaușescu remains the most popular Romanian president. 64.3% had a good opinion of Ceaușescu, followed by current president Klaus Iohannis with 50.7%, the only other president with an approval rate over 50%.
Some history of Romania's socialist period from a socialist perspective.
