    None of this is evidence, it’s just other people making the same dumbass claims

      Given Trotsky is a primary source and the Jacobin article cites a primary source what would constitute as evidence to you?

        Actual fucking evidence, duh. Trotsky telling a story is worth as much as you telling a story, fuck all.

            What I’m seeing here is that the USSR as a whole decided to make it their official position to advise against Chinese communists giving up on the effort to co-opt the Kuomintang as a movement/organization, and you’re saying that somehow equates to Joseph Stalin personally doing harm to the Chinese communist revolution. I can’t think of anything I could possibly say to discredit you that would do a better job than this, thank you.

              Stalin pushed the KMT, Trotsky pushed against it. As the two factions battled for control of the USSR I think your takeaway is disingenuous and shows not just a distain for Marxism but for dialectics as a whole.
