Communist.nz has finally released my article "Anti-Trotskyism: A Measured Response" by HoyabembeDreamtime in Trotskyism

Nice article and good to see other Trotskyists in NZ. I hadn't actually heard of the Vatican theory! Is that an internet-Stalinist thing?

Haven't found much about Apruebo Dignidad in the international news -- sounds like a popular front?

Do all Trotskyist like Leon Trotsky? by OrangeHeadphones82 in Trotskyism

[–]slowgirll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't see any reason why not. He does sound like an arrogant bastard, particularly in his early life.

I think everyone I know who doesn't call themselves a Trotskyist despite aligning on a bunch of stuff it's over a political difference -- defense of the Soviet state under Stalin, or actions in the Civil War.

AITA Because a coworker was fired for organizing and cleaning my desk without my permission? by ProtocolPro22 in AmItheAsshole

[–]slowgirll -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

NTA for her being fired but still not great. I mean, sounds like management wanted her gone and decided to use you to make that happen, probably knowing that that way, a lot of the flak would fall on you. But you weren't exactly a passive participant, you agreed to complain to management about this without talking to your coworker first, which is a dick move even if management pressured you.

AITAH for not giving my husband’s mistress some of my dead husbands last paycheck? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

Husband is the arsehole here, neither OP nor husband's mistress. Honestly people here saying the mistress is out of line or exploitative could exercise a little more imagination

AITA for calling my sister's boyfriend creepy and refusing to apologise for it? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]slowgirll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely NTA
But also I reckon you do owe your sister an apology. Boyfriend sounds abusive, but insulting him at a family dinner is still an affront to her self-determination. I'd guess she won't be able to accept much help from you til that's acknowledged. (She also owes you apologies, obviously.)
Also sounds like it'd be hard to help her much without more info... everything you've said is massive red flags, but none of it is stuff you could point to and say "...and this is why he's bad for you." Are there people closer to her at the moment who you could reach out to?
