After Trotskyism, what? Some personal thoughts

Ideas for the struggle #12 - Do not confuse desires with reality
1. Unfortunately, there tends to be a lot of subjectivism in our analysis of the political situation. What tends to occur is that leaders, driven by their revolutionary passion, tend to confuse desires with reality.
1. I have previously argued the case for the need to create a large social bloc against neoliberalism that can unite all those affected by the system.
Ideas for the struggle #10 - A strategy for building the unity of the left
1. I have previously referred to the necessity of building unity among all left forces and actors in order to be able to cohere a broad anti-neoliberal bloc around them.
Ideas for the struggle #9 - Respect differences and be flexible in regards to activism
1. There continues to be a difficulty within the left to deal with differences.
Ideas for the struggle #8 - The left should avoid allowing the right to set its agenda for struggle
1. In the previous article, I stated that a large section of the political left has found it very difficult to work with social movements and develop ties with the new social forces in recent decades.
