: : But look at most Trotskyist partys (and a lot of other revolutionary groups), this has already happened before the revolution, imagine life after with such organisation!: Yes, that is correct. However, most 'trotskist' parties have developed much in another direction than Trotskij's actual teachings, have they not? Very much like social democratic parties don't look like they did when the first one were founded by Marxists, Trotskij & Lenin, Martov, Stauning (Danish Soc.Dem. leader) and the rest. Parties evolve, but not always following their official ideology.
: Trotskij can't be put to blame for what 'Trotskist' parties say, like Marx can't for 'Communism' and Adam Smith not for Pinochet and Hitler.
Thats a good point, which i accept, but (there is always a but isn't there?) surely this shows that Trotskys theorys, as you interpret them (and has he laid them out) are unattainable.
