Even if coordinatorism in Eastern Europe, China, and the Soviet Union entirely collapses, this would indicate nothing about socialism other than that we still ought to give it a try. Our productions would be as many mirrors from which our natures would shine forth. My labor would be the free expression and hence the enjoyment of life. This sentiment is socialist. It rejects regimented central planning and competitive markets.
Man is a lazy animal.
In other words, Trotsky didn't gravitate toward coordinator structures out of Civil War-compelled necessity, as apologists maintain, but because he preferred it. These elitist sentiments defined Trotsky's agenda for society. I think that is happiness for all, and covers all the difference of capacity from the most energetic to the laziest. By thousands subordinating their will to the will of one. It is difficult to find words to describe this folly.
