A “cliffite”, also known as a “Neo-Trotskyist” is a type of Trotskyist who follows the tradition of politics understood by Tony Cliff. This primarily includes the nature of the Soviet Union and other “socialist states” (Cuba, North Korea, etc.) to be state capitalist, not degenerated workers’ states as Leon Trotsky outlined in his book The Revolution Betrayed.
