It's a blog; that is all.

A magical wizard, of course!

To answer the previous question, I'm not quite sure of the page where I'd gotten the information about Romania, but it was cited on Wikipedia so I probably should have known better anyway.

Kautsky before 1910, Guesde before WWI, a little bit of DeLeon, other minor figures, and not so much of Plekhanov.

Yes, the original Socialist International, not even the early Comintern.

He never explicitly talked about left communism, but he did mention how he read / really liked Luxemburg, De Leon, Pannekoek, etc admitted to them influencing him. I'll look for some decent links that talk about him and labor unions for you, too. And he did go through a period where he sympathized with Mao, Castro, and Che, but (to my knowledge) never accepted ML/Stalinism - ex, criticized the Soviet invasion of Hungary in 1956, supported Israel when the Soviets denounced it in 1967, and thought the French and Russian communist parties were "reactionary".

Welcome to RevLeft! Check out my profile, which "breaks with 'Communism'"

There are several things that he says that I don't agree with - his militancy, his sectarianism, etc

It's not mine, it's his. Although, I'll admit that he did waver on a few of his views and change them throughout his life, so not everything that's written there was subscribed to at the same time.

I'm back now, although i'm not sure if you're still on.

Well, the Trots that view the SU as state capitalist are a step up, for sure, but if they still hold on to the idea of forming united fronts with social democrats I really don't view them as "comrades" in any sense, or if they support building a "labor party" rather than a communist party, etc.
