Louis: All you knucklehead Trotskyites are really good at disagreeing with
me. That's not the issue. 

I spend 3 months reading everything Lenin wrote prior to "What is to
Be Done" and make the case that all of today's "Marxist-Leninist" groups
are doing something completely at odds with the Bolsheviks. What is the
response? "How dare you, Menshevik, say such rotten things!" Trotskyism
lacks rigor, intellectual discipline and the ability to dig beneath the
surface. Whatever one thinks of the historical Trotsky, he was not
superficial.
