>>Wants the Party to lead the revolution
Bureaucrat.
>>Wants to establish councils/re-establish multiparty elections within the scope of socialism once the revolution abolishes capitalism
It'd be contradictory to have one party leading the working class and to then have multiparty elections, that would defeat the party's purpose. Also political parties are bourgeois.
>>Wants to be worldwide so that the bourgeoisie can't establish itself somewhere else
Yeah but how does that actually happen?
>The ML actions don't seem to have been this excellent too
Which proves that they're both impotent.

I can't speak to historical divisions as I've never found Trotsky that worthwhile as a theorist. I still don't understand what permanent revolution would mean in a practical sense had Trotsky taken power in the 20s, and Stalin ended up siding with the left of the party by the end of the 20s anyway.

As an organiser in Britain, I have frequent contact with Trots. They vary depending on the party.

> Socialist Party
Honestly, these guys are fine. They're a key part of TUSC which is a worthwhile project. They tend to have good links with local councils and, in my limited experience, will engage with MLs in good faith. They're not very radical so this probably helps avoid pointless sectarian bickering, or maybe I've only spoken with the good ones.

> SWP
They're sort of okay, I guess. Some of the work they do, like the People's Assembly and Stop the War, is important and MLs work alongside them. Individually they're often fairly based older ladies who genuinely give a fuck and will work with you in good faith. As an org they're hopelessly committed to entryism and we've all heard the horror stories of how they lie and cheat and subvert collective movements to their organisational goals. The classic symbol of this is how they show up to broad left events with protest signs with their name plastered on it - just so lame and bad faith lol. They get a lot of work done but for little use - quite impressive how busy they are without their work going anywhere meaningful.

>RCP (formally Socialist Appeal)
Yeah, these guys suck really, really bad. Their political project is based on having the most radical and correct opinions, and then educating everyone to agree with these opinions. This is why they only sell newspapers and run internal educationals, because they think revolution entails convincing the working class to agree with their very limited and idealist interpretation of Marxism. They don't need to base their movement on the working class and their experiences because they already have the Correct Opinions TM. Any meaningful organisation within the working class is a waste of time and there's always an excuse to not do it - bureaucratic unions and such like.

Individually, they're almost always objectionable in their interactions with MLs. Just looking to pick a fight and bicker away. Actually, this is how they behaPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Trotsky is OK but trotskyists are not.
In my country, trotskyists just repeat the liberal's geopolitical positions. They're all "free ukraini", "down with Maduro!", "Cuba's a dictatorship", and on and on. All they care about is "being right" and selling newspapers. They don't have the slightest interest in taking power.

US regime change front funded Nepalese youth revolutionaries, leaks reveal

https://thegrayzone.com/2025/12/10/cia-front-funded-nepal-revolutionaries/

>Leaked files reviewed by The Grayzone show the US gov’t covertly funded Nepalese youth groups in the run-up to a violent coup. The “Gen Z” shadow army mobilized as the US sought to neutralize Chinese and Indian influence over Kathmandu – now controlled by a leader chosen by an informal social media poll.

>The US government’s National Endowment for Democracy (NED) spent hundreds of thousands of dollars tutoring dozens of Nepalese youth on “strategies and skills in organizing protests and demonstrations” prior to a violent coup which overthrew the government of Nepal in September 2025, leaked documents show.

>The documents reveal a clandestine campaign organized by an NED division known as the International Republican Institute (IRI) that sought to cultivate a Nepalese “network” of young political activists explicitly designed to “become an important force to support US interests.” The leaked documents note that the IRI’s program “connects vibrant youth… and political leaders” and “provides comprehensive trainings on how to launch advocacy campaigns and protests.”

>The demonstrations organized under the NED’s umbrella would relate to “issues selected” by the Institute and its local collaborators, thereby “ensuring the U.S. concerns with Nepal’s democracy [would] be resolved,” an IRI report stated. As The Grayzone reported, a similar effort by the IRI in Bangladesh helped generate a coup in August 2024.

The CIA really is the only secret service allowed to do actual work to further their country interests once again.

I don't use Telegram but I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter since they're channels and not groups, and I'd assume that only channel admins can post.

Good instinct though. Being security-conscious is important.

Really appreciate your work on KR, this is probably the most informative thread on /leftypol/ right now.
For now I have a question that's probably a bit funny, but I'm curious. There are a few pictures on the internet of alleged Pol Pot statues that are now stored in the Tuol Sleng Museum. Yet at the same time we are told that Angkar was 100% secretive and no one was allowed to know the identity of "Comrade One".
Do you know of any sources confirming that these statues were displayed in public?

>>2592432
thank you anon („• ֊ •„) i wouldn't consider this to be much work though, mostly copy-pasting random material i find somewhat interesting due to various reasons. thank you for paying attention♡
>There are a few pictures on the internet of alleged Pol Pot statues that are now stored in the Tuol Sleng Museum.
yes honestly i was also rather surprised by these (genuine) statues at S-21/Tuol Sleng, especially with the vietnamese Kampuchea Dossier 3: The Dark Years pamphlet stating this in particular:
<In the two workshops [at Tuol Sleng presumably just after the Vietnamese discovery], busts and portraits of Pol Pot are seen everywhere. One can imagine under what constraint painters and sculptors were made to do this work. (published by Vietnam Courier, Hanoi - 1979)

>Yet at the same time we are told that Angkar was 100% secretive and no one was allowed to know the identity of "Comrade One".
the secrecy (including initially) applied not only to the high leadership, but to all levels of the CPK organization, following stated by Nuon Chea (Brother No.2) in a speech to the visiting Communist Workers' Party of Denmark in July 1978:
<The Communist Party of Kampuchea has never before been legal. This is also true of other progressive organizations we created. We developed the tactic of secrecy, firstly, to defend ourselves, secondly, to mobilize more forces, and finally to serve our struggle, for example, in mobilizing intellectuals. We found they would not join us if we used semi-illegal forms, but with legal forms such as celebrations and visiting temples, they joined in. Thus, we made them join us step-by-step. Many semi-secret and semi-illegal and secret activities were organized so as to protect the wholly illegal and secret activities of the party centre. Thus, when the enemy attacked from outside, he struck semi-illegal and semi-secret activities only and we were able to defend our party and its leadership.

Fascinating, thanks. So they were probably looking forward to a more or less stable socialist society like in China where such depictions could be displayed?

>>2592506
yes; they did plan on the regime lasting a lot longer than it turned out to be and made plans spanning over multiple years, the first one and the only one that they could put to action before the invasion was a four-year plan (instead of the more "typical" five-year plans) presumably to have it finished by a "round date" of 1980
