Far from offering any insight into Trotsky’s immense legacy, the meeting represented a second political assassination of the great Russian revolutionary.
The meeting on Saturday November 18 at 1.30pm will be addressed by David North, Chairman of the International Editorial Board of the World Socialist Web Site and National Chairman of the Socialist Equality Party in the United States.
On October 15, 2023, the Young Guard of Bolshevik Leninists, a Trotskyist youth organization in the former Soviet Union, celebrated the centenary of the emergence of the Left Opposition with a meeting that was attended by David North, the chairperson of the Socialist Equality Party (US) and the international editorial board of the World Socialist Web Site.
The Declaration of the 46 is considered the founding document of the Left Opposition, which led the struggle by the Marxist and internationalist wing of the Russian Communist Party and the Communist International against the Stalinist betrayal of the October Revolution.
