Why would the Commissar of Military and Naval affairs under Lenin, who was instrumental in founding the red army and oversaw the purging of Mahknovists and other anarchist elements in the early USSR be less authoritarian than Stalin?
If you spent more time explaining things rather than "dunking on libs" maybe your movement would be less on the fringe. I don't have an opinion on who is more authoritarian, which is why it was obnoxious that you matter-of-factly made your point without any substance.
Genuine question, if you don't have a stance on Trotsky, and you don't know fuck all about him, why are you wading into this comment chain in the first place?
The fact that you think Trotsky would've been less authoritarian than Stalin betrays that you don't know shit about him yourself.
Even alternatehistoryhub, infamous youtuber known for his weird conservative takes, came to this conclusion
Even a stupid person known for their insane takes would agree with your conclusion?
Damn, that sounds like bullet proof reasoning. Sorry for doubting you.

Why post statements in the form of a question?
Because I wanted to know, why do you think Trotsky was less authoritarian than Stalin?

I took it for granted that people who had a stance on Trotsky would know who he is.
I don't have a stance on Trotsky. Maybe you should check who you are responding to before you automatically start "dunking on libs".
