Justin Trudeau wants to prorogue Parliament to buy time before the election. Voters will punish him for it, says Prof James Allan, but it's a mistake he must be allowed to make without activist judges getting in the way.

The rehabilitation of Trotsky and his work in the Americas is perhaps naturally tied into the curiousity which followed his murder there. But for the most part his theories and any systematic approach to marxist application if not pure post priori justification played second place even in covert revolutionary struggle to adaptions of Anarchist theory and an evolution of the "platform".

There's a different reading material and food for thought to keep everyone awake late at night.

Of the wealth of material already published in print on the internet on the strands of socialist revolutionary practise and theory in the Americas little has been written on the latest rehabilitation of "Trotskyism" in Europe, most notably perhaps in the French Presidential Elections. Besancenot's use of Trotskyist sentiment with heavy quotation from Che Guevara seeming to be eclectic at the least. Though quite properly it was simply post-modernism under purist analysis. The eclectic use of icon, quotation, reference, precendent and revolutionary comparison being at times as sublimely thoughtful as the Zapatistas' other campaign fought during the Mexican Presidential campaign a little over a year before which saw Marcus argue anarchistic theory on stages with representations of Mao Tse Tung and Stalin.

I still insist Hugo needs a wife.

I thank you John for this article and link, it is very important that all socialists alive now and working on the challenges both practical and theoretical of the project be aware that though the crime of the past century still cry for absolution - the worst of our own bogeymen have been neutralised by our own forward thinking & understanding of our own thought.

We know where we are coming from & we know where we want to go.
