This is an archive of the former website of the Maoist Internationalist Movement, which was run by the now defunct Maoist Internationalist Party - Amerika. The MIM now consists of many independent cells, many of which have their own indendendent organs both online and off. MIM(Prisons) serves these documents as a service to and reference for the anti-imperialist movement worldwide.

Trotskyists

Without exception, Trotskyism is idealism. It fails to recognize in historical retrospect that it has failed to lead or spur the proletariat to successful revolution--not just in one country but globally for 75 years. Hence, Trotskyism has become the phony Marxism of the Christian-minded--people who see justice as a purely verbal or mental state. Trotskyists are happy to judge Stalin and his ideological descendants by purely mental constructs that they do not apply to Trotsky or his followers. Trotskyists fail to realize that as long as there is capitalism as the status quo, "crimes of omission" are far greater than "crimes of commission" that they accuse us of. Every act of "commission" by "Stalinists" usually involves Trotskyist complicity in failure to generate revolution.

Internationalist Group

Self-description: An expelled (1996) faction of the Spartacist League and its International Communist League (ICL). The Internationalist Group's global organization is "League for the Fourth International."

Comments: The Spartacist League (SL) long held that "only bloody civil war" could end what they called the "deformed workers' state" in the Soviet Union. When the Soviet Union finally became obviously mainstream capitalist, the SL was in trouble for not understanding basic things--like the difference between capitalism and socialism. The ICL--largely in the name of the Brazilian class struggle--was inevitable not for reasons of SL bureaucracy as the Internationalist Group says, but simply because eventually, some people will notice that history is passing them by. The Internationalist Group represents a last gasp attempt to straighten out the hopelessly confused Trotskyist house on the most basic questions--capitalism versus socialism and revolution versus counter-revolution.

The usual Trotskyist splintering explanations by the Internationalist Group are here

The Internationalist Group's attack on its former comrades concerning basic questions is Trotskyist confusion about China and the USSR
