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.

The showing up everywhere thing really is the Trot special ability. I don't know if they have moles or Minority report precognition or what, but Trots have been at literally every left wing event I've ever been to, even ones that weren't announced to the general public.

The Trots are even better than the Avakians at being everywhere
