- Trotsky is your new hero / Trotsky is a petty-bourgeois hero, not a proletarian enemy / Socialism is stronger with the fusion of culturally-defined "socialists" into workers' movements than if each of the two stands alone (brought up in relation to theorist types such as Trotsky and Gramsci; framed as urging the theorists to not divide themselves out of the movement, so that every bourgeois progressive can then follow behind them; academics, intellectuals, philosophers) [1] -> could be spun as violet or orange. never let Trotskyists get too carried away with it by themselves though. keep them in check.
