This point here, that from what I understand of Trotskyist theory, one of the longest standing trotskyist-communist newspapers in the U.S, with a history of being mostly based, becoming targeted by COINTELPRO itself, that this swing to a pro zionist stance is especially contrarian to their interpretation of theory. As a matter of fact, from what I’ve seen, it seems counter to the very most central parts of their theory. This is what strikes me as especially strange.
The book I’m working on is unrelated, and yes, there has been a stark change in rhetoric from this paper. The reason I am intrigued is because it seems recent, and the behind the scenes story seems elusive. I have found some pages on the people behind this, but no, being curious as to how this change happened is not any more conspiratorial than trying to find out why a writer left a show or sold it out to another company.
