    Of, course, only in Minecraft… we all love our Trotty boys, don’t we?

    Edit: on sec. thoughts, after hearing about Chinese Trots’ historical political stance on the alliance with Guomindang against Imperial Japan (tl;dr: preference of Japan rule than alliance), I think we ought to throw them last in the cuck pit…

    No amount of pickaxes can stop them…

    Edit 2: I’m a coward, and I just realized that Worldwide Socialist and Marxist.org are controlled by Trots, so I’ll give cred for a bit of that…

      Eh, Stalin wasn’t that great at the beginning either. He originally wanted the CPC to self-liquidate and join the KMT, which was also a terrible idea since the KMT already had a left wing and right wing with the right wing under Chiang Kai-Shek violently purging the left wing. The real answer is both Stalin and Trotsky had bad ideas on how to steer the course of the Chinese revolution and Mao was wise enough to ignore their terrible advice, even resorting to purging the pro-Soviet wing of the CPC and telling some German communist to gtfo.

      At the end of the day, Trotskyists are mostly contrarians. They are only right in the 30% times when Stalin was wrong, so if Stalin was 70% right 30% wrong, they are 70% wrong 30% right. And even when Stalin was wrong like how the Chinese revolution should be steered, the Trotskyists’ contrarian advice proved to be wrong as well.
