Introduction to the work "Soviet: The Road to Trotskyism"
When the flames of the 20th century are raging around the world, and the shadows of capitalism and bureaucracy are shrouding the flames of revolution, a shoemaker from the slums of Buenos Aires, Argentina, is using his Trotskyist faith as a torch to walk a lonely and radical path through the cracks of history. He is Julio Posadas, a thinker and actor who was regarded as a "heretic" by the mainstream left but who ignited the spark of Trotskyism in Latin America.
This epic, which spans half a century, takes Posadas' real life trajectory as its bones and the revolutionary narrative from a Trotskyist perspective as its soul. It unfolds a magnificent picture from trade union agitation to international debates, from the split of the Fourth International to the birth of Posadasism. From organizing a shoemaker's strike in his youth and spreading the flames of class struggle in the streets of Argentina; to joining the Latin American Bureau of the Fourth International and quarreling with colleagues around the world to defend Trotskyist principles; to breaking with the old school in 1963 and forming his own "Fourth International". He has always stood up against the encirclement and suppression of capitalism and the "betrayal" of Stalinism.
There are real historical moments here: the wave of Latin American national liberation movements, the Iron Curtain of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, and the international left-wing shock during the Cultural Revolution, all became the soil for his theoretical construction; here is his unique radical cry - nuclear war is not the end of the world, but a catalyst to destroy the old order; the communist practice of alien civilizations will inject ultimate power into the earth's revolution. This book will be created along the Trotskyist path, which greatly deviates from the original history.
