User:RD/9k/ Trotskyists and anti-essentialism (Q51,44)

Prototype notes

Does anti-essentialism apply to Trotskyists? / Is it possible to identify "a regular Trotskyist, not an evil one"? / Can a trustworthy Trotskyist exist? / Are there Trotskyists who are safe? -> sub-case of: Trotskyism jamming proposition. I have been building this ontology project and book tentatively assuming the answer is yes — that Trotskyite conspirators and Trotskyists are in fact two different things and if you are in the position of Stalin's government it's theoretically possible to take any other countable instance of Marxism and sort out which people in it are going to give you trouble and which ones you need to pull out of it to help you form a Lattice across Marxisms and unify all the different named Marxisms into an International.
