Background

Rating subject: YouTube video channel @revcomintern

• This is a Trotskyist theory channel.
• This channel's content is somewhere between popular level and academic level in difficulty.
• This channel speaks about Marxist history and world events, typically editorializing the former through Trotskyism.
• This channel holds to models of a global Marxist revolution. It does not necessarily give any clear guidance on the general structure of a world workers' state.
• This channel should be rated for accurate retellings of historical events, accurate facts about material reality and people's general experiences, and the clarity of its theories. Models which describe Trotskyist parties or interaction with workers' movements as distinguished from any conditions in the background should be evaluated for clarity and coherence, while anything that would apply outside of Trotskyism in mainstream Marxism-Leninism — including history — should be evaluated for factual accuracy. If history is a major theme of the talk but it gets history wrong, it can be marked NG.
