He isn’t useless, he often makes good points. He isn’t as good as Lenin, or modern Marxist-Leninists, but his analysis in Super-Imperialism is useful, even with his biases.
madeline pendelton described trotskyism as effectively useless because they’ve never been successful historically and i guess i took that to mean that they were useless in general.
Trotskyism is often just Marxism-Leninism, but anti-AES for nonsense reasons IMO. Some Trotskyist critique of capitalism and imperialism is good still, and Hudson is one of the better ones, though not perfect by any stretch. Trotskyism isn’t a particularly coherent ideology at a theoretical level, and is mostly distinguished by what it opposes.
I really like his books, honestly just got my friend a copy of The Destiny of Civilization. I guess I should warn him it’s got some trot pov, kinda forgot that about Hudson

He isn’t as annoying about it as many Trots are.
