Yoshie:
Who cares what Trotsky's attitude was? You have to think on your own, in each concrete case.
If thinking on your own means writing propaganda for a veteran of the Pasdaran goon squads that unleashed an Islamist reign of terror on the Iranian working class, I'll stick with repeating old formulas.
Whatever tendency in the Iranian ruling class Ahmadienjead represents, he's preferable to both the liberal formers and the hard-line clerics, and that's the opinion of the Iranian masses at this point in history, who could have made a different choice but didn't. You can't substitute your thinking for their thinking.
Mussolini was preferable to Hitler as well. -- www.marxmail.org
