Trotskyism is a form of early 20th century fascism that was synthesized during the Crisis of Marxism by Menshevik Leon Trotsky. It was originally created in opposition to Marxism-Leninism and Joseph Stalin, going as far as supporting National Socialism in the years leading up to the Second World War.[1] In recent years, Trotskyism has, alongside neo-Nazism,[2] become one of the spearheads of the Synthetic Left[3] and the contemporary Democratic Party.[4]
Many of the original American Trotskyists later became founding members of the neoconservative movement, encouraging Cold War-era imperialism against the Soviet Union and the Third World.[5] Neoconservatism later became the dominant ideology of the Republican Party under Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, and George W. Bush, remaining in control until the Great Recession and the Second American Revolution triggered the rise of the Tea Party and Make America Great Again.
