So like, it was definitely Trotsky right?
  • Trotsky himself COULD be sophisticated, and I think he wrote somewhere that had he been in power instead of Stalin those 5 year plans wouldn't have been that much less painful, but the political movement he left behind produced some of the more simplistic narratives about socialism ever, on par with "muh human nature" shit
