Trotskyism is inferior to Third universal Theory

So what exactly is Trotskyism? I. Well, Trotskyism (as you might have guessed) was founded by Leon Trotsky. For those of you who are unaware of who Leon Trotsky is, he was one of the major faces of the Bolshevik Revolution (1917) of the Russian Empire, a prolific writer, and a Communist theorist. Moving back to the subject of Trotskyism; Trotskyists believe in the “Permanent Revolution” theory (Also theorized by Leon Trotsky). Many theories fit under the category of this topic of Permanent Revolution, one of these being that a Socialist revolution can occur in a Feudalistic society. After this revolution had taken place in this society, the Socialist traits would have to slowly ease themselves into the Government, this first stage would be a Capitalistic-Democratic society, then from that stage to full Socialism. Trotsky also believed in a rewriting of Lenin’s (pre-1917) idea of a "democratic dictatorship of the proletariat and the peasantry”. I have also chosen the following two videos because I believe that they cover a lot Trotskyism fairly well: http://www.youtube.com... http://www.youtube.com... Trotskyism is one of the two main branches of Leninism. Trotsky also emphasized that the imortance of indpedent councils of work (soviets) to bring about a new era of a workers democracy. This concept is also a very important aspect of Trotskyism."The Soviet degenerated workers state was more progressive than Western capitalism and therefore worthy of defense against American imperialism; however, another revolution of the workers was necessary to unseat the Stalinist bureaucracy, who Trotsky believed would continue to destroy the workers state until it became fully capitalist." The main difficulty with Trotskyist organizations, groups, and parties is that they have been unable to become mass parties like the Bolsheviks or even become inspiring to the workers movement of any country during any period in the past 80 years or so. The reason why Trotskyist groups have been failing to cause this mass "Socialist Revolution" so far is becuase Trotskyist groups require an extremely high level of political agreement.
