What do you mean he didn't believe in anything? I get that his theory is kinda naive but he seemed to have a lot of conviction.
Menshevik, Bolshevik, aspiring HUAC-collaborator. He pounded the pulpit, but which pulpit varied wildly based on what direction the wind blew.
He had conviction yes, but not on anything specific. His conviction was literally just a mirror of the things he opposed. The “stalinists” were very convinced, so he had to be as well. Or his opposition would be (even more apparently) ideologically weak.
This is pure grade a baloney. Trotsky spent half his time denouncing various trotskyites for not believing in the right things, including denouncing anti soviet communists for not supporting the comintern (Althought tbf he did 180 on that once he got bitter enough). People really need to stop getting their info from like grover furr and hexbear posters.
Getting info from like Grover Furr and Hexbear posters is the best thing anyone can do
No Furr is bad.
I say this as someone who has no love for Trotsky and literally is looking at a picture of Lenin on my wall right now.
furr is a 2010s tankie meme, we shouldn't need him to defend stalin. i agree.
Like Catholics must genuflect before accepting the Eucharist, Hexbear users must declare their hatred of Grover Furr before defending the USSR. Questioning the orthodoxy is not tolerated. It is religious post-modern left communism at its finest.
I'd prefer it if we just ignore him.
but why is he bad
i have heard no criticism from any camp about him
You just said it yourself tho… he did a 180 on the Comintern because he got bitter. His politics followed his feelings. After a point it was all just spite. And before then it was all politicking.
