A reply to Edward Luce of the Financial Times on youth radicalization https://t.co/TDiM3MhyxO
[David North @davidnorthwsws]
David North replies on X to Financial Times columnist Edward Luce on the radicalization of youth and the rediscovery of Trotsky.
-But Mr. Luce correctly detects a process of radicalization among the world’s youth. The question is, at what point will this radicalization break beyond the bounds of the media-vetted pseudo-leftism of people like Sanders and Mamdani and reestablish contact with the genuine Marxian-socialist political perspective and culture that was exemplified in the October Revolution and figures like Lenin, Trotsky and Luxemburg. This break must and will occur, and the rediscovery of Trotsky’s extraordinary political legacy and writings will be a critical element of the reemergence of Marxism as a mass socialist movement based on the working class.
