Tag yourself, I'm:
Convergent evolution/nature is healing
Wtf, there's no way this is a real attempt at understanding lol.
I am going to make a claim that I can't back up but am 99% sure of anyways. This many arrows can only be distinguished by idealism rampant. Any materialist analysis cannot have this many arrows
Well concider this: they're trots
A group of whales is a pod, a group of crows a murder, a group of trots a split.
permanent involution
I have found, WWP, DSA, ISO, PSL and SAlt. No RCA, FRSO or Socialist Horizon (or even SDS?). I'd guess SoHo is too new for this graph but they somehow managed to include Tempest Collective which AFAIK is just an internet publication.
RCA
International Marxist Tendency rebranded
FRSO
I'm guessing they only count pure trot lineages instead of maoist heel-turners which is why it's funny that DSA and PSL are included but the maoists aren't. I also just learned that FRSO was founded with former Avakianite splitters and former SDS ultras who all came together and said "damn we were wrong and were too ultra-left. Let's fix that"
And I'm guessing SoHo is like you said
The Boggs' were trots? (Column 9 around the middle)
All I've learned is that trots are their own ecosystem that embodies the whole left in its own sphere ranging from the most ultra of ultras to succdems
It's glorious, but it is missing one and only one thing: someone in the background dropping a baby into a boiling cauldron
There are certain people who seem to be unable to understand that their exact method is not the only viable option. Like they close their minds so tightly that nothing but this one exact thing is the 'real' thing.
Imagine someone being like, "This painting I created is the only beautiful piece of art ever made, every other painting is painted incorrectly by dumb, talentless artists, I am the one true painter."
