  • At least in my experience, trots are mainly opposed to AES and have to reframe everything AES does or might do as bad. I recently mentioned Cuba’s family code to a queer member of socialist alternative here (main trot group) and they were surprised that cuba did anything good. Their view was that cuba was a patriarchal chauvinist system but hadn’t even heard of this thing that been blaring over queer communist news networks for the past several months (at time of conversation).

    This idea that real communist revolutionary potential is found in rich western countries over any other revolutionary program alienates them from a lot of their political allies, and also makes them useful patsies for anyone wanting to throw a spanner in the works. It also explains why a bunch of trots became neo-cons, their separation from other leftists and their belief that revolutionary potential in the US is stronger there than in Vietnam means they wound up supporting US hegemony abroad
