prominent Marxist theorist or organizer / notable Marxist theorist or organizer -> this is the colloquial usage of "very notable", not the Wikipedia usage of "notable"

Karl Marx
Friedrich Engels
Vladimir Lenin -> note: there are Properties for "believed to be within ideology" allowing the separation of "believed to be associated with Trotskyism" from "believed to be associated with Stalin Thought" and the two statements to coexist at once

prominent mainstream-Marxist-Leninist theorist or organizer / prominent Marxist theorist or organizer associated with ~~Stalin Thought~~ Stalin's Marxism
Joseph Stalin
Mao Zedong / Mao Tse-tung -> remember. theorists aren't inherently interesting just for being theorists. they're interesting either for being associated with historical events where they represented particular perspectives or having authored specific texts
Enver Hoxha -> yes, he has his own subset ideology, but it still falls under this tradition
Ho Chi Minh

notable Trotskyite resistance leader or advocate / notable Zinovievist advocate or leader / ~~notable Trotskyite conspiracy member~~ / notable Left Opposition ally
Grigori Zinoviev -> he became my arbitrary example of Trotskyite conspiracies versus what Trotskyism claims it is, after a few modern-day Trotskyites called him a hero just for wrecking the Soviet Union

George Orwell -> by some definitions of Trotskyite, the most famous one ever
Slavoj Žižek / Slavoj Zizek (searchable) -> may sound surprising to call him a "Zinovievist" or Trotskyite, but after much analysis of his rhetorical patterns and motifs he truly belongs here
