He was a Trotskyist, and he's still one.

And thank God for contrarians who generate the 'opposition' point of view that keeps a democracy vibrant. Without freedom to be contrary, ours would fall into some monolithic state governed by an unopposed oligarchy. Give Hitch his due, he is an honest and vocal opposition with whom debate may occur, to resolve our own shortcomings while building our resolve. Labeling Hitchens as a Trotskyite is wasted rhetoric. He agrees with that characterization as his foundation, but he has evolved even as he has maintained a contrarian perspective which exposes the perfidy of our leaders. Do you doubt his proofs of the Kissinger/Nixononian cabals against, for instance, Chile?
