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.

    I don’t think many of us are engaging with Trotskyism in a shallow way in this post. We’re critiquing his Eurocentrism, wrong view of the peasantry being a reactionary class, and opposition to AES.

    I 100% agree that “dunk culture” and thought-terminating terms aren’t helpful, and we should elaborate why we think something is wrong.
