You believe in the establishment of a global socialist society through continuous revolution and workers' democracy.
Trotskyism is a Marxist political ideology named after Leon Trotsky, a Russian revolutionary and Marxist theorist. It is a form of communism that emphasizes the need for an international "permanent revolution" and promotes the idea that socialism cannot sustain itself in one country alone. Trotskyism is distinct from other Marxist theories, particularly Stalinism, with which it has been in a continuous struggle since the late 1920s.
Leon Trotsky was a key figure in the Bolshevik seizure of power in Russia during the October Revolution of 1917. He later served as the People&#…

When have you seen a group stand up against something they felt was wrong, and how did it impact you?
@9HYRLN42yrs2Y
Seeing a group of people standing up to their beliefs shows me the strength they have to fight. It impacted me by showing me to stand up for what’s wrong and make it right.
@9HYRKK9Republican2yrs2Y
I have seen it online before and it can be kind of inspiring.
@9J253NPRepublican2yrs2Y
I feel that sometimes you will see protesting and doing illegal things like stealing. i think most of it is childish.
@9HYS5Y4Republican2yrs2Y
BLM felt wronged by George Floyd's death along with others, and they let their anger out in an unacceptable manner. The downtown of where I live was burned and partially destroyed because of BLM riots.
@9HZR39C2yrs2Y
I don’t think it is appropriate to hold an entire movement accountable for the specific actions of few. Much like how all police are not bad because of Floyd’s death neither is BLM bad. I think greater understanding is needed on both sides
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What does true equality mean to you, and have you seen it in action?
@9HT2Q8S2yrs2Y
True equality is not giving certain races or gender certain right others don get. Equality is not hiring or giving scholarships to someone because of their skin color. Everyone should be given the same treatment.
@9HT2L8N2yrs2Y
everyone gets everything that they have from the sweat of their own brow and without any help from the government at all.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Have you ever helped someone who was unfairly treated, and how did that make you feel?
@9HYRKTTWomen’s Equality2yrs2Y
Yes, I try to make everyone feel equal and included, it made be feel better about myself because I helped somebody.
@9HYRQJXIndependent2yrs2Y
I have. It made me feel sorry for them that they had to go through that but I also felt good knowing they were safe
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How would you fight for something you believe in within your school or community?
@9HYS6CN2yrs2Y
Through many voices of people of different ethnic and racial backgrounds to expand and further my point and the extremes of the situation at hand.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What changes would you like to see in the current educational or political system that would reflect collective interests?
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How would you describe a fair leader, and have you met someone who fits this description?
@9J2PNRZConstitution2yrs2Y
My idea of a fair leader would have nothing to do with Trotskyism or Marxism.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
In a Trotskyist society, who do you think should lead the revolution, and why?
@9HFQ8MD2yrs2Y
In 1905, Trotsky formulated his theory of permanent revolution, which later became a defining characteristic of Trotskyism. The theory of permanent revolution addressed how such feudal regimes were to be overthrown and how socialism could establish itself
@9HFPLY52yrs2Y
The trotskyism is someone for the society from the revolution.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Have you ever been part of a community endeavor that made significant changes, and what role did you play?
@9L3FLS3Republican2yrs2Y
No. Protesting is not always good but it is an exercise in liberty and freedom. I have only seen negative things come from protesting in mobs.
I have not but I agree that they make a huge impact in our society
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Have you ever felt that a change in your community or school was necessary, and how would you initiate it?
@9JBHRQC2yrs2Y
Yes. I would go to the school board, create rallies and peaceful protests, and work with my community to spread awareness of the issue.
@9JB6VZ22yrs2Y
There was a recent school shooting in Iowa. I strongly believe we should allow retired veterans to safe guard schools while armed. This would go a long way in eliminating school shootings or at least decreasing the damage done if one would occur.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How do you perceive the concept of opposition within a political party or movement, and is it more beneficial or detrimental?
@9HK39KWRepublican2yrs2Y
It is beneficial without controversy there is no one to keep the people in charge in check.
@9PV9DXQ1yr1Y
It is beneficial, although extremist parties not supporting democracy should be banned.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Do you think continuous revolution is a sustainable approach for political and social change?
@9HCVY722yrs2Y
No, it isn't and there's a reason why Trotsky was laughed out of the Soviet assembly time and time again for his horrible ideas.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What kind of sacrifices are you willing to make for the greater good of your community?
@9HXCXQ92yrs2Y
Send food and shelter to help those who are in war.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Have you ever had to work in a group where the leadership was questioned, and how did that impact the group’s progress?
@9HJLQL32yrs2Y
Yes I have. In school, we worked in a lot of groups and one time the "leader" of the group was questioned. We came to the conclusion that someone else needed to be in charge of the group.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How do you think the ideal of 'workers of the world unite' could be realistically promoted in our current society?
@9HPDWRS2yrs2Y
hought, suggests solidarity among the working class across national boundaries. Promoting this idea in our current society requires addressing various challenges and adapting strategies to the contemporary context. Here are some ways in which the notion of global worker solidarity could be realistically promoted:
International Labor Movements: Encourage and support the formation of international labor unions and movements. Workers from different countries can collaborate to address common issues such as fair wages, working conditions, and workers' rights. Efforts like these can promote… Read more
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How would you personally respond if you felt a social change was necessary but risky?
@9LJ6XHP1yr1Y
If its necessary than it should be done no matter if its risky or not its necessary.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y

Would you support a worker's democracy in your current job or school, and why?

everyone should be treated with respect no matter weather i disagree or not
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What does a society that prioritizes human welfare over individual gain look like to you?
@9KM85NZ2yrs2Y
Following statistical evidence in economic policy to create a system which provides the most opportunity for the most people
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
How do you define fairness, and can a society truly achieve it?
@9KHCQMN2yrs2Y
Fairness is usually about ensuring that everyone in a country or territory has an ideal amount of resources being shared by one another; the impartial and just treatment without prioritizing one thing over another.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y

Improving issues will reach the MAJORITY of Americans.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
When you envision societal fairness, what elements are most crucial in achieving it?
@9JMDFNS2yrs2Y
I think It would be the Broader communist movement.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Do you think one person can initiate significant change in society, and can you give an example?
@9KHCWQV2yrs2Y
Those that embrace Trotskyism are manipulators and prey on people's insecurities. Trump has shown he's one of them. These type of people should never be allowed to serve in public office nor in leading corporations.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What does the phrase 'change starts with us' mean to you, and can you provide a personal example?
@9KS32M9Independent2yrs2Y
Meaning you have to start changing, no one will do the changing for you
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
Can you recall a time when you felt true equality was achieved in a group setting, and what made that possible?
@9JRDTZY2yrs2Y
True equality is most realistically attained in small groups of people where community is strong and greed is absent. People who want to work together and support one another can achieve equality and maintain it.
@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
What actions do you think could effectively bring together people from different backgrounds for a common cause?

Another country messing with the well being of the United States

@ISIDEWITH2yrs2Y
