Yeah I debated posting this or not, because it’s so extreme and I feel like posting the worst of some tendencies is uncomradely. But I think this particular quote is useful in showing how leftists (in this case Trots, but applies to everyone) can mix in good takes with bad, especially when it comes to global issues.
Laura Garza isn’t young. I have a strong suspicion that younger Trots (say under 40) as well as younger leftists of all tendencies probably have way better views. Because for older people, a lot of their ideology was developed before the internet took off, so their ideology developed in a silo, disconnected from other leftists who are more correct who can challenge their views.
