Joanna: "Trotsky and Lenin were keenly aware of this, and a good deal of
organizing went on to make sure that they would have the support of the
military."

[WS:] My point exactly.  Whether they called themselves "Marxist" is
irrelevant to my argument which pertains to Marxist theory explaining
historical event purely in terms of broadly defined classes.

To use an example - if I believe that astrological signs influence world
events, and pursuant to those beliefs I start mobilizing people in the
military who were born under certain astrological signs and those people
eventually back me up and support my revolutionary effort and defeat my
enemies - does this vindicate my original belief linking astrological signs
to a successful revolutionary outcome?  I don't think so.
