What do we know about this group?

Trots this and Trots that - sure, whatever, IMT has some cringe takes, but normalizing communist imagery and exposing people to even some of the most basic concepts is far superior to nothing. That the IMT can get 500 people out to an event proudly self-identifying as communists (whether you agree with their theory or not) is pretty impressive, and I think a hopeful development.

You say trots are reactionary but they’ve been living in a commune inside Marxist-Leninists’s heads for 100 years

im only hopefuly if politically competent people go out and do it. Trotskyism is destined to crash and burn over its fucking obsession of hating stalinism

Honestly, it’s not even about Stalin. Hate Stalin. Personally I like the guy the killed the Nazis, but their constant book licking for imperialists is fucking gross and makes me hate them with a passion.

Saw someone else on twitter positing that they’re trots, but with nothing to back it up and I’m too tired to check into it myself.

I ran with the IMT for a hot minute. I can’t divulge details but they have made a trans comrade of mine, who was a member for a long time, feel unsafe with the group. There is also some sex pest shit being covered up in their Canadian chapters.

Sorry to make it sound like I’m digging up drama, but these are things that happened a few years ago, to a friend whom I trust - I didn’t ask for details then out of respect. That being the case, because of it, I literally have nothing else to say about it.
