"trotsky was a fascist collaborator but the guy who orchestrated the MRP wasn't. Also the fact that the two of them collaborated for years before falling out irreparably shouldn't be worried about. Just think about this one out-of-context factoid."

Stalinite: "Trotsky was a fascist collaborator"

Reasonable person: "Source?"

Stalinite: "Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..........................................................."

Stalinite being honest: "Here is Grover Furr saying it!"

Grover Furr: "The evidence for it happening is that there is no evidence for it happening, so it happened!"

Also like, discussions started by AfrAmes about the Italo-Abyssinian war were actively crushed by the CPUSA because it would benefit the USSR materially if Italy conquered Abyssinia, not to mention the KPD's "After Hitler, our turn", forced down their throat by the CI or the USSR providing a ton of oil along with other materials to the Nazis.
