The marxism is much more sophisticated and deep; I think maybe trotsky could make a better socialism..

True revolutionaries are discredited, expelled, or purged: see the fates of Trotsky and Zinoviev, for example.

Yeah, it reminded me uncomfortably of Trotsky as well - not in how it works, but rather how it is supposed to work if you just ignore critical details.

Whenever I read these types of posts, I always feel like I'm listening to a lecture by Leon Trotsky on the theoretical perfection of Communism.
