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.

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