Same energy as making it seem like Trotsky invented armored trains and the word racism
Doesn't it say in that letter where lenin made Trotsky the emperor of communism?
He loves to say perrrmanent revolution and (imo) downplays the roles of Lenin and especially Stalin before and during the October revolution, really seems intent on making Trotsky the protagonist, doesn't really deal with Lenin's writings or theories, and makes it seem like Marx formulated the original labor theory of value, but other than that it gives a decent account of the sequence of events and the interconnected movements that gave rise to the revolution. I also felt like he did a good job of explaining the motivations and necessity of the Bolshevik takeover, mainly the provisional government continuing to drag the country through WWI. I might give it another listen, see if I feel the same way about it.
Same and also there's COVID :|
Love how China just looks like The Future now
Give me a scruffy couchguy communist that wants to hang out and hug

Maybe there's a better metaphor but with lend-lease it's like, okay so if you loan a forklift to the workers who have to do the heavy lifting, you'll then try to take all the credit when they're done with the heavy lifting?
