@Radical_EgoCom Why trotskism and 4th International are criticizied ?
Trotskyism is criticized primarily because of its impractical beliefs, particularly "permanent revolution," and its obsession with ideological purity and unwillingness to make compromises.
@Radical_EgoCom Ok, but what's the "permanent revolution" ? I didn't heard about this. And I misunderstand when you said "unwillingness to make compromises"

@Radical_EgoCom Hi. I’m new to reading communist theory. Is it worth my time to read Trotsky for the sake of historical context? What should I focus on the most as I develop in understanding?
For historical context, it's fine to read Trotsky's works. For actual knowledge about communist theory, avoid Trotsky like the plague and focus on reading from Marx, Engles, Lenin, Stalin, and Mao. Here are some good places to start from each of these people:
Marx: https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1848/communist-manifesto/
Engels: https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1880/soc-utop/
Lenin: https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1917/staterev/
Stalin: https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/stalin/works/1924/foundations-leninism/index.htm
Mao: https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/mao/selected-works/volume-1/mswv1_17.htm

@Radical_EgoCom If by this you mean "Trotskyism is a dumb cult that is promoted by Imperialist interests" I agree 10000%
