Trotsky literally wrote a book advocating terrorism, a rebuke to socialists who deplored terrorism.

- mjburgess 6y agoA "criminal or terrorist organisation" is one which commits crimes or acts of terror. Your own reasoning, ie., guilt by ideological association, no doubt implicates everyone -- including you.
- jjgreen 6y agoTrotskists oppose terrorism (generally called "individual terrorism") not on moral grounds but due to efficacy. The book you're linking to is Trotsky's argument against individual terrorism and in favour of mass workers' action.
