	Trotskyism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		On the political spectrum of Marxism, Trotskyists are considered to be on the left.
		"Trotskyist" has been used by Stalinists to mean a traitor; in the Spanish Civil War, being called a "Trot", "Trotskyist" or "Trotskyite" by the USSR-supported elements implied that the person was some sort of fascist spy or agent provocateur.
		Trotskyists are mostly ignored by historians and politicians except when they faced police repression and slander.

	The Programmatic Principles of the Faction for the Trotskyist International
		Trotskyists reject as illusory the expectation of reaching socialism by a peaceful, gradual road as the result of a progressive development of democracy by the action of the proletariat within the framework of the bourgeois state.
		Trotskyists reject the revisionist conception according to which the creation of a "workers' and farmers' government" by the opportunist organizations is an inevitable stage in the development of the struggle for the socialist revolution.
		Trotskyists also reject the conception of the establishment of the united front as a positive achievement in itself, without regard to the objectives it is based upon.

	A Note on British Trotskyists and Spain
		It might have been possible to avoid it had the Trotskyists been their only critics, (except perhaps in the League of Youth where the centre of gravity of the debate was further left than elsewhere).
		Yet Trotskyists drew encouragement from the regroupment of revolutionary socialists through the Socialist Party and the Friends of Durrutti: a new party might be born out of this.
		Trotskyists and others at annual conferences urged the inconsistency of ILP-CPGB cooperation in the Unity Campaign, while the communists were suppressing the POUM.

	Trotskyism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Stalinist faction within the Bolshevik Party invented the theory "socialism in one country" in 1924 in order to justify making deals with imperialist countries and in order to advance their own position and conception of Marxism by attacking the theories of the current group of leaders, above all Trotsky.
		The was led by Michel Pablo, who argued that Trotskyists didn't need to fight for power as Trotsky had argued, but had to make deals with Stalinists and nationalists, whom Pablo's followers considered the 'real movement'.
		Each of the latter groups also maintain their own international tendencies as does the Socialist Workers Party, the largest Trotskyist group in Britain, which leads the International Socialist tendency from which the International Socialist Organization in the United States, the largest such group in that country, split some years ago.

	The Crisis of the Fourth International and the Tasks of Consistent Trotskyists
		For the orthodox Trotskyists to turn their backs on the advanced workers being drawn toward Trotskyist positions by the "Trotskyist-centrist" organizations and the militants fighting for Trotskyist positions within them, would be an act of sectarianism of historically tragic proportions.
		Rather, the main tactical orientation of such Trotskyist factions should be to fight in a disciplined way for their political ideas within the rules of these organizations and to make the centrist leaders clearly responsible for any administrative measures, such as expulsions.
		Trotskyists must be prepared to adjust their tactics to the concrete development of the struggle to regenerate the Fourth International and the concrete development of the international struggle of the working class -- on the sole condition that they maintain the absolute political independence of the international orthodox Trotskyist faction.

	In Defence of Marxism - The Trotskyists in Stalin's concentration camps - An eyewitness account of the strike at Vorkuta (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		During the middle and the end of the 1930s, the Trotskyists formed quite a disparate group at Vorkuta; one part of them kept its old name of “Bolshevik-Leninists.” There were almost 500 at the mine, close to 1,000 at the camp of Ukhta-Pechora, and certainly several thousand altogether around the Pechora district.
		Among these “Trotskyists” were also found people who had never formally belonged to the CP and did not join the Left Opposition, but who tied their own fate with it to the very end – even when the struggle of the Opposition was most acute.
		The Trotskyists were taken back to the mine, received food reserved for the sick and, after a period of time, they went back to work, but only above ground; certain of them worked in the office of the director of the mine, in the capacity of paid workers, book-keepers, economists, etc.

	Durgan: Spanish Trotskyists and the POUM (Part 9)
		Above all, Andrade’s claim that Maurín had “completely corrected his point of view” and adopted the positions of the ICE, [134] and Maurín’s intellectual and political domination of the BOC were central to the belief of the ICE that it could have a decisive influence over the new party.
		The most important group of former Trotskyists that still remained was in Madrid, but three-quarters of them died in the desperate defence of the capital in the autumn of 1936.
		Those former Trotskyist militants who survived the Civil War, the Stalinist terror and the Nazi terror in exile, were to be prominent in the left wing of the party during the 1940s.

	Durgan: Spanish Trotskyists and the POUM (Part 2)
		[22] Not surprisingly, the Trotskyists were scathing in their attacks on what they described as the FCC-B’s predilection for “separatist rather than class politics”, and even described it as “more Catalanist than the Catalan Republican Left”;, the principal petit-bourgeois nationalist party in Catalonia.
		By mid-1933 the Trotskyists recognised that some sections of the BOC’s rank and file believed that there was little between themselves and the ICE on most major issues.
		The BOC may have made similar criticisms to the Trotskyists of other sections of the workers’ movement, but there was “no continuity in their politics”.

	How the Trotskyists Led the ALP up the Free Trade Path
		Trotskyist organisations are small, but they have a lot of influence on the Labour Party.
		The Trotskyists are promoting Capitalism, because it leads to a polarisation of the country, which gives them the opportunity to lead a revolution.
		I suspect that most Communists are genuine, but that some of the Trotskyist organisations may be a vehicle used by Zionist finance to break down the nation state, just as Soros destroyed the Korean and ASEAN economies in the so-called "Asia crisis".

	A Letter to Trotskyists Throughout the World (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The Transitional Program, which remains the keystone of today's program of the world Trotskyist movement, was written by Trotsky in collaboration with the leaders of the SWP and at his request was submitted by them for adoption at the founding Congress.
		Even for the internal party education of the French Trotskyists Pablo refused to characterize the Stalinist role as a betrayal He noted "the role of brake played, to one degree or another, by the leadership of the traditional organizations" -— a betrayal is a mere "brake"!
		One of the principal aims of the Pabloite leaflet is to denounce French Trotskyists who conducted themselves in the Renault plant during the strike as genuine revolutionists.

	The Anti-Colonial Movement in Vietnam
		In this mood, two perspectives collided: that of the Trotskyists, who attempted to apply a policy of "permanent revolution," based on the workers and poor peasants, and that of the Stalinist ICP, now reconstituted as the Viet Minh, who believed, or at least said, that independence could be won through negotiations.
		The Vietnamese Trotskyists may well have been wrong to think that it was possible, in August-September 1945, to carry through "permanent revolution" against the combined force of the Allies, but the Vietnamese Stalinists were certainly wrong to think that they could negotiate independence with the French provisional government and its PCF ministers.
		Trotskyists also made a serious impact in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), Bolivia, and Argentina; prior to 1945, however, the case of Vietnam was unique, to my knowledge.

	Poland 1981: Acid Test for Trotskyists - Theses on Solidarnosc
		While Trotskyists took an attitude of critical support to the 13 December military suppression of the counterrevolutionary threat posed by Solidarnosc, it was necessary to maintain an attitude of irreconcilability toward Jaruzelski and the rest of the Stalinist bureaucracy.
		Had the USSR intervened (as was widely projected) in the fall of 1981, Trotskyists would have critically supported this for the same reason they critically supported the actions of the Polish Army in December of that year.
		We support the right to assemble and strike by workers in the deformed and degenerated workers states as preconditions for the political revolution because this would allow the Trotskyist vanguard to intervene and mobilize the workers against the bureaucracy in the direction of the political revolution.

	How Trotsky and the Trotskyists Confronted the Second World War, Pierre Broué
		We cannot undertake here a wide-ranging study of the policies of the Trotskyists during the war, or compare them with the policies which Trotsky outlined on the eve of his death and of which his comrades were generally unaware at the time.
		The lack of success of the 'Trotskyists was not essentially the result of tactical or other faults, but to their situation, swimming against the stream, and to the grip of Stalinism on the masses.
		But we may suppose, on the contrary, that the Trotskyist organisations, their members and their leaders, were involved, and that they have at least some responsibility for their own setbacks.

		He claims that his Trotskyist activities started in 1929, but, according to our sources, he joined the Trotskyists much earlier and in 1929 was expelled from the CPG as a Trotskyist.
		In 1928, he and the Trotskyist Frank from Vienna (originally also from Lithuania) offered their services to the CP Lithuania, but at that time Sobolevic’s friend, Glavatsky, was expelled from the CP Lithuania.
		In 1930, she was expelled from the CPA as a Trotskyist; she was readmitted in 1934.

	cubantrotskyism.net (v1.0) - Thesis, Chapter Seven (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		With various Trotskyist delegates from all over the Americas present,(24) the PSP resurrected the old baseless accusations that Trotskyists by using Left-wing phrases acted as provocateurs inciting U.S. aggression, and were instruments of the FBI and CIA.
		As the Trotskyists themselves suggested, the actions against their publications had the approval of various officials of the Revolutionary Government precisely because in recent months PSP cadres had consolidated their positions in the state apparatus, particularly in the trade unions and large sections of the media.
		The Trotskyists characterised the Cuban state as a 'Workers' State 'sui generis'',(106) arguing that over the long-term only reform and not a political revolution against the Revolutionary Leadership was required to direct the transformation of socialism.

	FrontPage magazine.com :: The Trotsky Two-Step by Greg Yardley
		In addition, Christopher Hitchens, another former Trotskyist, serves the White House as an "ad hoc consultant." Finally, Wolfowitz in particular worked with some former Trotskyists during the early 1970s, in the offices of Senator Henry Jackson.
		Jeet Heer makes great efforts to insinuate that these former Trotskyists served as a transmission belt for Trotskyist ideas, especially the idea of 'pre-emptive war,' which were then used by White House officials for their own conservative purposes.
		Secondly, they might ease up on their Trotskyist critique of Stalinism, and begin treating Stalinist regimes uncritically, out of the pure psychological need to have some revolution, any revolution, that can serve as a role model.

		Trotskyists, for all their talk of Indigenous self-determination, promote a single universal culture.
		And a few years later, another Trotskyist, handing out leaflets, admitted the same to me. The Trotskyists are promoting Capitalism, because it leads to a polarisation of the country, which gives them the opportunity to lead a revolution.

	Trotskyism and the Cuban Revolution
		The center of your argument, in which you lay the blame on the world Trotskyist movement in general and on the Cuban Trotskyists in particular, is that their "specialty" (by which I understand main or almost exclusive activity) consisted of proposing a march on Guantánamo.
		You assert that Trotskyism was "misrepresented" by the Cuban Trotskyists.
		The Trotskyists in Cuba resolved unanimously to confront the allegations, demand a judgment, and defeat the bureaucratic maneuver.

		The struggle against Trotskyists, especially after the trials started, has been especially accentuated in the press and in general during the whole six-month period.
		Although there is an understanding among party members that the Trotskyists and rotten liberals can not be party members, one notes doubts [among comrades] about how the Trotskyists managed to sink to fascism, and why they confessed at the trial the way they did.
		In the circles of the Jewish and Lithuanian intelligentsia, there is serious disbelief that the Trotskyists were able to do [what they were accused of] in the Soviet Union, and that they have confessed.

	Spartacist League Trotskyists on China: a Maoist Review
		The logical extension of this ideology is seen in the Trotskyists practice: call for revolution in the First World and pretty much ignore the Third World (the majority of the world's population).
		This is a big difference between Maoists and Trotskyists: Maoists believe that self-criticism and learning from mistakes is a part of changing the world, while Trotskyists believe it all has to be done perfectly the first time.
		Because the Trotskyists think that an alliance with the national bourgeoisie is unholy blasphemy, they can not understand how Maoists could use this class to their advantage in the anti-imperialist battle.

	CHNN, No 8, July 2000: Thesis Reports
		Hitherto, studies originating outside Cuba have generally argued that the Cuban Trotskyists were closer to Joaquín Maurín, the leader of the Bloque Obrero y Campesino in Spain, than to Trotsky.
		Indeed, in failing to discuss the crucial question of Trotskyists' attitude to the relationship between the democratic and socialist revolution, other than by bold unsupported statements of Stalinist 'truth', Soler fails to recognise that from the primary source material he himself cites the allegation of 'sectarianism' is largely baseless.
		In the mid- to late 1940s the much reduced Trotskyist group all but dissolved inside a number of dubious organisations which, though professing a continuity with Joven Cuba, largely focused on removing the official communists from leading positions in the labour movement by the use of various underhand, often violent, methods.
