Trot Watcher Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to announce the founding of the Reactionary Crusaders International. Our organisation alone maintains the ‘unbroken thread’ from the original Crusaders – Pope Urban, Raymond of Saint-Gilles, Godfrey of Bouillon, Bohemond of Otranto, and Robert of Flanders. Our mission is to create a cadre organisation of elite Crusaders who will lead the forces of … Read more
Apologists for the bloody disaster that was the October Revolution of 1917 feel the need to remind us regularly of the ‘gains’ of October. That is to say, the October Revolution made possible all the progress that Russia enjoyed in the twentieth century, and that without it, Russia would be a medieval backwater much like … Read more
The standard Trotskyist account points to the soviets (workers’ and soldiers’ councils) as the ultimate proof of the democratic legitimacy of the Russian Revolution of 1917. In his History of the Russian Revolution, Trotsky tells us that the Second Congress of Soviets was ‘the most democratic of all parliaments in the world’s history’. The system … Read more

Scott: One of the interesting ideas of this project (and also Allen’s work) is to explore different counterfactuals. What if, for example, the Bolsheviks had … Read more
Well, what is there to say? The RCI is a deeply sick organisation.
I have been inspired by the campaign taking place across the water to elect Kamala Harris the next President of the United States of America. The first thing I heard of her was when my ex-comrades back in 2019 were denouncing her angrily on social media, calling her ‘Copmala’ and ridiculing her background as a … Read more
The Revolutionary Communist International (RCI), formerly known as the International Marxist Tendency (IMT), is boasting of record-breaking growth. Let us see how ‘record-breaking’ this growth truly is. The easiest indication of how big the organisation generally is are the admittedly unreliable reports of membership attendance at the yearly international conventions that are put on their … Read more
Several members of the RCI/IMT’s Swedish section have recently broken their silence and spoken out about the covering up of rape and sexual assault in their former organisation. It is yet another blow to this satanic enterprise as its real nature becomes apparent to more and more people. For those still in it, there is … Read more
