So I posted over in the DSA thread and it looks like I opened a can of worms. A poster recommended that I ask my question over here, too. Can people break down Trotskyism for me? Can people also break down why a lot of leftists don't like Trotskyism? I've done a little reading myself and I dig some of their ideas but then I see them get decried on the internet and I don't entirely understand why.

Lasting Damage posted:dgcf already did a great job describing the who and the what, but it might also be helpful for you do describe some of these ideas they have that you like, to make sure other posters understand what you mean by Trotskyism. Flournival Dixon posted:I'd be interested to hear what specifics of it sound appealing, to me it feels like it appeals to countermaterialistic anarchist style moralizing but I'm far from like the average normal person when it comes to thinking about politics and how things should work as opposed to how they actually do according to my understanding of history and material reality. Sure thing. I'm mostly just curious about the term as I don't really know much about it - I don't consider myself a Trotskyist.... or any really kind of leftist. I read theory here and there but the vast majority of it goes over my head. I think Lenin had some good ideas. The big thing I understand about Trotskyism, which some of you have already pointed out, is the idea of permanent revolution (which I think is a cool idea on paper but who knows if it would ever be possible). The only other two ideas that I think are from Trotsky is getting working/poor people involved in revolution and that he was very anti-bourgeois revolution. Any all and info is greatly appreciated.
