What do we know about this group?
Trots this and Trots that - sure, whatever, IMT has some cringe takes, but normalizing communist imagery and exposing people to even some of the most basic concepts is far superior to nothing. That the IMT can get 500 people out to an event proudly self-identifying as communists (whether you agree with their theory or not) is pretty impressive, and I think a hopeful development.
You say trots are reactionary but they’ve been living in a commune inside Marxist-Leninists’s heads for 100 years
im only hopefuly if politically competent people go out and do it. Trotskyism is destined to crash and burn over its fucking obsession of hating stalinism
Honestly, it’s not even about Stalin. Hate Stalin. Personally I like the guy the killed the Nazis, but their constant book licking for imperialists is fucking gross and makes me hate them with a passion.
you say this now but wait until the US falls into a trotskyist regime and then China has to intervene.
I think its the trots of the IMT, i read they recently started forming new communist parties, they go by Revolutionary Communist Internacional now
Saw someone else on twitter positing that they’re trots, but with nothing to back it up and I’m too tired to check into it myself.
their local branch announced their formation with a post hashtagged #marx #engels #lenin #trotsky and had a ton of Alan Woods books for sale. they’re trots.
It is 100% the IMT after their rebrand
what does IMT stand for?
International Marxist Tendency. They are trots
I ran with the IMT for a hot minute. I can’t divulge details but they have made a trans comrade of mine, who was a member for a long time, feel unsafe with the group. There is also some sex pest shit being covered up in their Canadian chapters.
Sorry to make it sound like I’m digging up drama, but these are things that happened a few years ago, to a friend whom I trust - I didn’t ask for details then out of respect. That being the case, because of it, I literally have nothing else to say about it.
I haven’t checked it out yet but here is their website
As others have said, IMT, ie Trots.
Particularly cultish Trots according to the ex-members I know.
Why is it always the fucking trots doing the real world organizing?
PSL, DSA (not the leadership), and many others are not trotskyist. Also the US only goes after actual threats, trots historically have been the useful idiots for america in every instance.

What the fuck is “opportunistic identity politics” supposed to mean?
I guess critique of PSL counts as wrecker behavior on this site, but I’m thinking of when Gloria La Riva tried to brush aside accusations of transphobia and was all “how dare you call me cis, I’m a woman of color”
Do you have a clip of this I can’t find it? Not that it would change my opinion of an entire party obviously.

Lol, why the fuck does anyone in the west bother trying to organize?

real world organizing =/= a bunch of internet dogmatists getting together to march
I don’t think I can join them after I mistook them for the RCP, asked them about Chairman Bob, and stole one of their newspapers at a local event. Sorry trots.
