* This is a Trotskyist theory channel.
* This channel's content is somewhere between popular level and academic level in difficulty.
* This channel attempts to analyze recent history in the sense of "the past 2-10 years" without fixating on weekly news events. It may be choosing to analyze history through models or hypotheses specific to Trotskyism, and as such should be rated for its ability to coherently explain a hypothetical Trotskyist future and the practical steps to get there rather than for its adherence to any particular [[E:mainstream Marxism-Leninism|mainstream Marxist-Leninist]] models. This does not absolve it from problems such as historical inaccuracies or inaccuracies to real-world observations.
* This channel mentions "Ted Grant"<ref name="unk" /> in the context of relevant theorists or sources.

== Motifs ==

<!-- {{HueCSS}} --><ol class="hue clean">
</li><li {{IS1/IV/class}} value="618">proletarian Bonapartism  <ref name="unk" />  ->  What is this? Does it even exist? - Fails [[Ontology:P214|Sunny test]].
</li><li {{IS2/IV/class}} value="618">During the India-Pakistan conflict the Communist Party of India supported the bourgeoisie {{YouTube|YqW8CXpVhNY}}  ->  I have no clue whether this is true but I have to doubt it. I think we've got a clash between Trotskyism and Maoism here?  <ref name="unk" />
</li><li {{IS2/IV/class}} value="618">The United States wanted to break up Russia / The United States wanted to break up Russia because it was too big as a countable Culture and thus overpowered in global conflicts  ->  this is a terrible thought but I'd believe it. the United States does some very messed-up things.  <ref name="unk" />
</li><li {{IS2/IV/class}} value="618">The U.S. petty-bourgeois layer has been whittled down substantially  <ref name="bm-c" />  ->  dubious. Ignores the role of geography in creating local Artisanal cesspools and disconnecting "consolidated" corporations in far-off cities from actual geographical settlements. Fails [[E:P207|question-begging test]].
</li></ol>

== Additional remarks ==

* Descriptions of world economic history were confusing and difficult to verify or falsify. At the same time, talk brought up an interesting point about countries chunk-competing over the world consumer base. <ref name="yq-y" />
* Recent talks did an excellent job of portraying Trotskyist theories of populations as composed of material objects. <ref name="bm-c" />
