In this period of nationalist movements, that argue that everything can be solved from inside the country, Trotskyism is the only one that says that the only possible solution exists at the level of the world economy, through instituting a new world order – socialism. For this, it is necessary to return to the socialist tradition of the existence of a Socialist International. This International addresses the strategy and tactics to succeed in defeating the huge transnational corporations that dominate the entire world, to establish international socialism, which would have to be worldwide to exist.
If the economy is global, we must have a global policy and an international workers’ organization for the whole revolution, on the one hand, so that every country that makes a revolution spreads it on an international scale, and on the other hand, so that the revolution brings each time more democratic rights to the working class, so that, through democracy, it is the working class itself that takes into its own hands its destiny.
Socialism cannot be anything else but worldwide. All of the attempts to build socialism in one country have failed, because the economy is global and therefore we cannot provide a socio-economic solution to the problems within the borders of one country.
The ones we must defeat on a global scale are the transnational corporations in order to enter into socialism on an international scale

How is trotskyism doing internationally?
Cameron Bell
we try
For this reason, the synthesis of Trotskyism today is that the Trotskyists are the only ones in the entire world with an international organization. You may say that we are small, weak, whatever you want, but we are the only International in existence. The Fourth International is returning to the entire tradition of the previous Internationals and updating it to face new phenomena, but with a Marxist vision: that a worldwide struggle is necessary.

are you the op to give you a serious answer

Trotskyism has naturally degraded into opportunism, idpol, and social democracy. Trotsky's theories, such as permanent revolution or the question of "should the upcoming revolution be bourgeois or proletarian?", largely don't apply anymore as there no longer is any peasantry, and capitalism has developed massively.
All socialists believe this.
This is empirically false. The USSR achieved early socialism. Socialism can be built in a single country and when faced with military threat on all fronts, that is often the only option.
A lot of what you said here isn't exactly clear (what is meant by "failed", the "socio-economic problems", one country could be referring to Luxembourg or the USSR, etc.). The USSR was massively successful in beginning socialist construction while Trotsky's theory of permanent revolution would've lead to the utter ruin of the Soviet Union.
You try by having a historio-victim complex, churning out news papers, practicing trash tactics like entryism, and let yourselves be derided and crushed by idpol.
