Why do people here really not like Trotskyists? Is it just because of his beef with Stalin and not an actual criticism of his views? Do people really not think a global movement would be superior for the betterment of all people?
Edit: Thank you to everyone who provided context and history, y’all are a wealth of knowledge.
How does one make socialism “in tandem” with countries where socialist movements (if there are any at all) don’t hold state power? Trotsky’s solution was to make war on them. And this was directly after the devastation of the Russian civil war.
History has shown that the PRC’s model of non-interference is the correct one: build your own industrial base and material conditions, make friendly relations with all countries regardless of their leaders and their politics, build international socialisms by respecting other people’s autonomy.
