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.

    anarchists dont like trotsky cause he killed anarchists, mls dont like trotsky cause he was railing against the soviet union while nazis were at the gates. its almost left-unity-3 in action

      related to this I think anarchists have basically stolen trot thunder in the states now if you're looking for left-wing orgs that are opposed to AES

        Some Anarchists have even adopted trot talking points. Like this weird milieu of left-anticommunism congealed into a single mass of confused rhetoric.
