Not long after I praised Left Voice and one of its editorial board
members Juan Cruz Ferre in an article titled “Marxist alternatives to
Jacobin
<https://louisproyect.org/2020/08/26/marxist-alternatives-to-jacobin/>”,
Juan asked for my opinions on a video that his comrades in Argentina
made titled “The Relevance of Trotsky’s Ideas Today”. What I am going to
write in this article might surprise Juan, who acknowledged that “we
have strong political differences, in particular with regards to the
‘Leninist’ organization.”
In fact, we don’t have “strong political differences” as far as I know,
except for my support for Howie Hawkins’s presidential campaign and
opposition to his fellow Left Voice editor Nathaniel Flakin’s belief in
the revolutionary potential of looting and arson, which is admittedly
widespread on the left. Most everything else that Left Voice publishes
is right on the money. For example, I just cross-posted Nathaniel’s
“Could Hitler Have Been Stopped by Voting for the ‘Lesser Evil’?
<https://www.leftvoice.org/could-hitler-have-been-stopped-by-voting-for-the-lesser-evil>”
to FB and Marxmail. He draws exactly the same conclusions that I drew in
a 2016 article titled “Misusing German history to scare up votes for
Hillary Clinton
<https://louisproyect.org/2016/07/14/misusing-german-history-to-scare-up-votes-for-hillary-clinton/>”.
