      I don’t quite feel like subjecting myself to the text itself (I’m on a workbreak, I’ll probably remember later and source it), but I’m almost certain Trotsky thought Afrikan-Amerikans spoke a different language lol.

      IIRC he was asked if black Amerikans constituted their own nation and deserved support in their self-determination thereof.

      Ah, nevermind. Here we are. Top ten Trotsky quote.

      Fair enough for a Soviet politician not to know every facet of Amerikan race issues, I suppose. Still… I can’t deny how silly this is, and knowing this little probably should have prevented him from speaking on the issue at all.
