Reality is the people marching and the people in comments are both anti-Communists. Trotskyists are not Communists, they have more ideological similarities with Adolf Hitler than they do Lenin.

Trotsky himself admitted he wasn't a Bolshevik, Lenin affirmed he wasn't a Marxist.

If you needed any more confirmation, Hitler himself was a fan of Trotsky. Image

Given Donald Trump’s mugshot is released and he may try to run from prison, let us reflect on the fact that this would not be the first time.

In 1920, Eugene Debs ran for president from prison where he was serving a sentence for his anti-WWI activism. Image September 18, 1918 E. V. Debs
Statement to the Court
Upon Being Convicted of Violating the Sedition Act:

“Your Honor, years ago I recognized my kinship with all living beings, and I made up my mind that I was not one bit better than the meanest on earth.

I said then, and I say now, that while there is a lower class, I am in it, and while there is a criminal element I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free.

I listened to all that was said in this court in support and justification of this prosecution, but my mind remains unchanged.

I look upon the Espionage Law as a despotic enactment in flagrant conflict with democratic principles and with the spirit of free institutions…

Your Honor, I have stated in this court that I am opposed to the social system in which we live; that I believe in a fundamental change—but if possible by peaceable and orderly means…
Standing here this morning, I recall my boyhood. At fourteen I went to work in a railroad shop; at sixteen I was firing a freight engine on a railroad. I remember all the hardships and privations of that earlier day, and from that time until now my heart has been with the working class. I could have been in Congress long ago. I have preferred to go to prison…

I am thinking this morning of the men in the mills and the factories; of the men in the mines and on the railroads. I am thinking of the women who for a paltry wage are compelled to work out their barren lives; of the little children who in this system are robbed of their childhood and in their tender years are seized in the remorseless grasp of Mammon and forced into the industrial dungeons, there to feed the monster machines while they themselves are being starved and stunted, body and soul. I see them dwarfed and diseased and their little lives broken and blasted because in this high noon of Christian civilization money is still so much more important than the flesh and blood of childhood. In very truth gold is god today and rules with pitiless sway in the affairs of men.

In this country—the most favored beneath the bending skies—we have vast areas of the richest and most fertile soil, material resources in inexhaustible abundance, the most marvelous productive machinery on earth, and millions of eager workers ready to apply their labor to that machinery to produce in abundance for every man, woman, and child—and if there are still vast numbers of our people who are the victims of poverty and whose lives are an unceasing struggle all the way from youth to old age, until at last death comes to their rescue and lulls these hapless victims to dreamless sleep, it is not the fault of the Almighty: it cannot be charged to nature, but it is due entirely to the outgrown social system in which we live that ought to be abolished not only in the interest of the toiling masses but in the higher interest of all humanity…

I believe, Your Honor, in common with all Socialists, that this nation ought to own and control its own industries. I believe, as all Socialists do, that all things that are jointly needed and used ought to be jointly owned—that industry, the basis of our social life, instead of being the private property of a few and operated for their enrichment, ought to be the common property of all, democratically administered in the interest of all…

I am opposing a social order in which it is possible for one man who does absolutely nothing that is useful to amass a fortune of hundreds of millions of dollars, while millions of men and women who work all the days of their lives secure barely enough for a wretched existence.

Image Daily reminder that "PatSocs" and the discourse surrounding this phenomenon is fed shit. PatSocs aren't real and the phenomenon only exists in extremely online communities.

Patriotism of Socialists has always been inherent, international.

honestly i think @InfraHaz broke these peoples brains beyond repair. You can’t even discuss orthodox Marxism without someone crying about Haz, someone completely irrelevant to the conversation. Me: “Hey maybe a billionaire funded NGO isn’t real activism”

Radlibs: “Haz! Maupin! You’re a national socialist!!!”

The New Left COINTELPRO libs aren’t sending their best
