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?

anarchists actually build projects though and haven't really been directly antagonistic to other socialist orgs in the west for at least the past 50 years. It's more been an unsteady alliance, or outright neutrality from what I know. Whereas Trot and ultra orgs have been antagonistic, or they've been splitters, or they've just collaborated with feds. One of the first street level things I did was anti-war protests during the Iraq War, and we had a rival Trotskyite group that surprisingly endorsed the war, so they'd talk shit about us in their publications. I can't imagine an anarchist group trying to do anything like that.
So I don't think anarchists really have that same streak of "what if" that @Zuzak@hexbear.net means. Anarchists actually mean it and do something about it.
