red flag over teeside

Today I felt the tug of the past.

Strange how things change and in the process I change. When I started this blog I considered myself to be a Trotskyist now things are not so simple. I still admire Trotsky as a writer but I now think that he got a lot of things wrong. In my mind Trotsky is a tragic hero who in the end was unable to rise above his weaknessess.

Hi I am an internationalist who looks for working class action to overthrow all currently existing states which I view as being in some way state capitalist/Bonapartist. They need replacing with workers states on a world level. To achieve this revolutionaries need to be able to work in some sort of united front with reformist workers and win them to a revoutionary perspective.
