			{{li\|I=S2/MX\|Q=44,36\|Q2=4436}}Laws don't apply to Lev Sedov -> okay let's try this again. I think I was legitimately trying to describe something but, yeah, I totally fumbled what the actual claims of Trotskyism were.

			the idea here was supposed to be that early Trotskyism is taking a huge leap in declaring itself the only valid government, and it's worth asking how they can possibly know that. this isn't to say there aren't answers to the question. as well, if he successfully lands the argument that he {{em\|is}} the only valid proletarian revolution, well, as shocking as this claim might sound it's not even bad.

{{li|start=y||I=S2/IV|Q=44,36|Q2=4436|h4= Laws don't apply to Lev Sedov }} / No laws apply to Lev Sedov / Trotsky has exclusive privileges to kill people that nobody else has including Stalin, as long as nobody else ever finds out he did it; Trotsky or any other member of the 1930s Trotskyite conspiracy is {{em|radically}} innocent until proven guilty, to the point that as long as enough people subjectively think he's innocent he is entitled to dismantle entire legal systems and governments and definitions of treason and definitions of terrorism as long as nobody notices before he's finished / You are exempt from all laws and moral dictates if your name is [[E:Trotsky changed his name to Sedov for citizenship reasons|Lev Sedov]] (sense) -><br/>
it really disturbs me to what extent everything that happens in the United States is all about morality and holding every single individual to the same standards even across situations that really should be different, and yet somehow, Trotsky is the only exception to all of it, and he gets to do whatever he wants as long as most people across the world agree he never did it. that makes absolutely no logical sense in any way and the last tiny fragment of me that can comprehend Enlightenment rationalism on any level at all is furious about it.

	the specific charges might be wrong, but if Stalin got them they probably did {{em\|something}}. you know, as part of the underground Trotskyist operation. the potential revolution. I don't call it a conspiracy any more. but now that we're past about 1953, I do think people need to stop lying about it.		the specific charges might be wrong, but if Stalin got them they probably did {{em\|something}}. you know, as part of the underground Trotskyist operation. the potential revolution.

			{{li\|I=S2/IV\|tradition=\|Q=618\|Q2=618}}The very conception of truth and lie was born of social contradictions / ({{9k\|RD/Q19,04}}) -> yeah this is it. ... society dividing into groups of people including physical tribes, factions, clusters of businesses, and finally class populations are the real roots of the entire discussion about truth versus lies in the age of capitalism

			{{li\|I=S2/IV\|tradition=\|Q=618\|Q2=618}}It is impossible to create a revolutionary party of the proletariat without complete independence from the bourgeoisie and their morality / Whoever fawns before precepts established by the enemy will never vanquish that enemy! (Trotsky) / ({{9k\|RD/Q19,04}})

			{{li\|I=S2/IV\|tradition=\|Q=618\|Q2=618}}The lies and the violence of war will go away in proportion to how much class conflicts have vanished from society / ({{9k\|RD/Q19,04}})

			{{li\|I=S2/IV\|tradition=\|Q=618\|Q2=618}}Intentions alone cannot make you Progressive or Reactionary / The ends are not accessible without control over the effects of the means / Show not the goal but show also the path (Lassalle) / ({{9k\|RD/Q19,04}})

			{{li\|I=S2/IV\|tradition=\|Q=618\|Q2=618}}Deceive unions when necessary / "Maneuvers and subterfuge" are in this case only methods of valid self-defense against a perfidious reformist bureaucracy (trade union bureaucracy; Soviet bureaucracy) (Lenin, Trotsky) -> he specifically refers to the trade union bureaucracy here but the context makes it amply obvious he does mean either one

			{{li\|I=S2/IV\|tradition=\|Q=618\|Q2=618}}Permissible and obligatory are those and only those means which unite the revolutionary proletariat, fill their hearts with irreconcilable hostility to oppression, teach them contempt for official morality and its democratic echoers, imbue them with consciousness of their own historic mission, raise their courage and spirit of self-sacrifice in the struggle ... the great revolutionary end spurns those base means and ways which set one part of the working class against other parts, or attempt to make the masses happy without their participation; or lower the faith of the masses in themselves and their organization, replacing it by worship for the "leaders"
