I met some who were very nice, seemed very rational, didn’t even come off as “culty” as their particular Trot party is “known” to be. I mean, yeah, ideologically they’re not quite right, but like, more people working against capitalism, who at least understand and agree with what Lenin said, is a good thing, right? Sectarianism is silly and left unity between Marxist tendencies is important to get to the point of revolution and then sorting out our differences, right?

It’s true that they agree with what Lenin said, but the problem is that class struggle has manifested and advanced in multiple ways since then, and they seem to regard these developments as unacceptable deviations rather than understandable progressions. It’s like doing lab work with someone who only agrees with scientists up to Curie or Darwin, but disavows anything that came after.
