So it is three Trotsky---s who became open right-wing anti-communists ... plus one.

It is a mistake in political analysis to inflate one or another personality. Although, for example, Proyect demonized Grover Furr without presenting evidence ( https://www.counterpunch.org/2017/03/31/the-ukrainian-famine-only-evidence-can-disclose-the-truth/ ) , this was not simply because of Proyect's personality. As plenty of current members of this list have shown, the Trotsky--- ideology refuses to engage Furr's research. You just toss one or another insult. Nor is this because of Grover Furr's personality; it is because he is one of the honest scholars of Soviet history.
