A pun on __dunder__, for "double underscore", i.e. __init__() and dialectic, which was central to Trotsky's thought.
dialectic was in Marx, he actually got it from Hegel. https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/hegel-dialectics/
Excellent point, but not central to the paraphrase in view.
just wanted to add more to the history we were constructing! Didn't mean to imply that you implied that it was trotsky's idea.
Dialectic’s are ancient, Socrates used a dialectic method. A lot of theology is dialectical in nature, and is partly why communism rejects religious explanations of the world.
dialectic + dunders (double underscore, which signifies certain things in python)
