@ryler05 Im not big on Trotskyism,its a major mistake,but I have to say ;the low-level POUM fighter grunt did not support fascism..Dont tell me that the fighting men&woman was some kind of fascist in disguess.Its not true,the POUM regular inf.lived and died among all other Republican forces,they were true revolutionaires.We agree that being a Troskyist is a very wrong path but still---they were mis.lead,mistaken,but they did fight for freedom.Their leaders,however,is a total dif.matter.
@RebelSonBand It is a question of characterising a political trend and seeing its dangers. If persisted in, at critical times of struggle, minor errors can lead to the exact opposite of subjective intentions - and lead one even to the enemy's camp.
@ProletarianCPGBML So we agree,the private POUM fighters was not fascist..And about this guy Trotsky,its a miracle that he has soooo much influence even today,he was nothing then a paralel in history.All he was,was a dissedint refuge,he had nothing new to add,nothing but a opposition to USSR.
@RebelSonBand Yes, but opposition to the USSR had powerful backers - the imperialists and defeated white (bourgeois and tsarist) forces. Their overt anti-worker anti-bolshevik criticisms were powerless to overcome the wave of Bolshevism that was sweeping the world and undermining their class rule. How convenient to have Trotsky, whom they had regarded as one of the chief villains, to champion their cause for them in the name of "fighting Stalin" - That is why he plagues us still!
