It's a very offensive slang that stands for That Revisionist Over There.
Trotsky says:
-
Building up productive forces in a pseudo-capitalist model first, then communism proper later, is bad, and we should just do the whole thing in one go.
-
Stalin bad.
-
Internationalism good.
Trotskyists say:
-
Relitigating shit that happened 100 years ago is not a waste of time.
-
Let's form a splinter group.
-
Taking obsessive minutes of every meeting is vital to the revolution.
-
Read my newspaper.
I just realized like 75% of the people on my Twitter feed are trots without even knowing it.

never known a trot who didnt end up having some real kooky takes tbh
So. Trotsky was one of the big founderes of the russian revolurion and belived in waiting for the right time. So clealry since the USSR was couped he had some points. However the good the USSR did was both real and long lasting. So he was a man of contrasts.
Also he moved to latin america formed a polycule with fredia kalo so everone in latam regions that like comunism tends to call themself a trot.
The intellectual exports of Trotsky are numerous in amount. One thing he exported is corn, or as the Indians call it, "maize". Another famous Indian was "Crazy Horse". In conclusion, Trotsky is a man of contrasts. Thank you.
It's when all the other communism was wrong, but you're the good communism. Its more like a beleagured branch of of a splinter group of a larger branch of catholicism that claims the pope is illegitimate and the real pope was executed unfairly.
Trotsky is a complicated figure. I still consider him generally a positive influence on history, despite his fans' tendency to become neocons.
In his own historical context you can consider him something of an ultra. He criticized the Soviet Union's NEP and many of Stalin's actions.
If he were around today, he'd probably be one of those vaguely libsoc reddit posters that loves to point out that China isn't really socialist (yet).
all the trots think DSA is bad cause we're joining Sao Paulo Forum and met with Maduro
theres some tiny trot parties in Venezuela that hate PSUV and Maduro, even tho theres definitely Trotskyist influence in PSUV. trots are just professional contrarians tho, they keep saying we should be meeting with these random trot parties with 10 members instead of PSUV lol
E: fun fact theres a posadist party in Sao Paulo Forum
Trotsky is a man who is almost unique in history in that he managed to start a political intrigue battle as commander of the armed forces and lose.
do you want to be hated by everyone, including other trotskyists? well, we have just the ideology for you!
Trotskyism, also known as Marxism-Leninism is based on weird college students who read George Orwell's 1984.
It includes the Cuban Revolution, Hitler, Stalin, Mao Tse-tung and your mother.
Never ask them for money or anything. They're probably broke. Pretty sure he is the original "punk" (though not necessarily in the sense you would expect).
