    This probably doesn’t deserve its own thread, so I’ll ask here.

    Why are Trotskyists obsessed with newspapers?

    • my guess: physical publications (e.g. newspapers) were very important for propaganda before the Internet, and Trotsky likely wrote about their importance, so contemporary Trotskyists dogmatically apply this to modern times, ignoring the fact that physical newspapers are now more or less obsolete (particularly among younger generations)
