Does anyone have any links to any of trotskys writings or ideas or a good overview of what trotskism is.

Thanks in advance.

Che-Lives Dictionary (http://www.che-lives.com/forum/index.php?act=ST&f=8&t=21255&st=0#entry332198)

There are a couple of links on Trotskyism under that title including a work by Stalin, which I havent read but could be interesting. There are also links to material under Trotksy's permenant revolution theory and state capitalism. You could also check out Tony Cliff in the Che-Lives Who's Who? (http://www.che-lives.com/forum/index.php?act=ST&f=8&t=21439) which has a view links to Cliffs book 'Trotskyism after Trotsky.' I have read it and it's interesting to learn about what it all means now etc etc. I also rate Cliff as a good easy writer. There is also an MP3 of him talking about state capitalism which might be helpful. Some Trots dont like Tony Cliff so be aware of that if you do decide to check it out.

Hi,

www.marxist.com is the best Trotskyist website in the world IMHO, updated daily with news from around the globe.

www.trotsky.net is really good too, and www.newyouth.com

Trotsky did not write State Capitalism, and his own theory of a deformed workers state was completely opposite to the rubbish Cliff wrote.

Im surprised someone of your own understanding has made such a mistake.

Cliff by the way was one of the leading theoreticians of the SWP :rolleyes: deary deary me...

I never claimed he did...I only mentioned it because I know Cliff claimed to be a trotskyist...i suppose it is a matter or opinion whether it was or wasnt...i dont really care. I apologize if I have mis led anyone...

I had the opporunity to meet during me lost years as an active member. He's actually a really sweet guy..or was at least...now he's probably a little more decomposed...
