Why all the hate for trots?

Why all the hate for trots?

What do they really stand for?

They're just stalinists with a different label. They are hated because stalinists are hated.

They split so much we'll never know.

They have mostly degenerated into being liberal college students, see

Theyre just less centralized Stalinists

This shit is worse than putting ketchup on your steak's

wtf i hate muke now

There's a ton of them at my uni, and from personal experience a lot of them are cringy id-polers. Like the other day I saw someone in the computer lab with a baggy shirt with a big red star on it, and a buddy of mine told me they were printing out fliers about trans/queer revolution or something that mentioned Trotsky.

Not to mention the whole "everything I don't like is Stalinism xd" thing. This one Trot girl I talked to told me both Maoist and modern China were Stalinist, and the USSR was still Stalinist even after Stalin's death. Trots put way too much time and effort into finding new ways to whine about Stalin.

MLs hate Trots because Trotsky shittalked Stalin, anarchists hate them because of Kronstadt and Makhno. That's like 90% of communists right there.

They're arch-sectarian. I'm voting for a Trot party this year but I understand how the constant overblown attacks on every other party as psuedo-left alienate other socialists.

Even when (as is sadly way too often the case) they're correct on a particular party or political line, they don't have an ounce of tact about it and wind up alienating half the people they'd otherwise pick off.
