I talked to them and they were pretty nice. Tried to sell me a newspaper though! But I expected them to do that.

why do they sell newspapers?

It's like an unwritten rule of Trotskyism. Every Trot org sells newspapers. I swear half those parties only exist to sell a newspaper. I think they only do it because it's the only thing the Bolsheviks did that Trots are any good at. They say they're less dogmatic than MLs and that a leftist group should never do anything they don't understand their own reasons for just because Lenin told us to do it, but I think Trots only put out newspapers because Lenin said a communist party needs a party newspaper.
