Trot. Stalinist or campist? not trolling I genuinely want to understand. cheers
Most people here consider themselves Marxist Leninists
lmao no one calls themselves "campist", that's a term Trotsky made up to tar Soviet sympathizers with the same brush as fascist sympathizers, based on his completely bullshit analysis of the late interwar period that puts the Soviets and Nazis in the same bloc.
isn't 'stalinist' a trot thing too? like isn't that just ML
I suppose Trotsky might have coined it, but I don't know that he did and the term has a life in various facets outside of Trotskyism (though it is a stupid term in the vast majority of uses), but "campist" is not only a Trotsky coinage, but specifically an element within Trotsky's "third campism" ideology that only has a life therein and is rarely used otherwise.
