I mainly see a constant and generational stream of trotskyists becoming conservatives.

A few examples: James Turnham, Irvine Kristol Max Shachtman, Spiked Magazine, Claire FoxFrank Furedi, Christopher Hitchens, and even to this day you still see trotskyists like Chris Cutrone (one my favorite thinkers, who’s really teetering on becoming conservative), Arash Azizi, I can keep going on and on.

There is something within trotskyism that is at its core extremely counterrevolutionary.

I’m not a stalinist btw. I share many of the same critiques of stalin with the trotskyists. I believe Stalin betrayed the revolution so I have no love for him.

But why does this trend exist? There is something “there there” to put it in a way.
