Trotsky really the Tobias Funke of communism. Like, I hold no resentment towards him, he just comes across as such an aloof guy whose biggest problem was how much of an annoying nerd he was.
the more I read about him, he strikes me not as an aloof guy, but a smartass prick that thinks he's the hottest shit since marx, while also being very skilled and rhetorically eloquent (Personally I don't like his writing style because it's filled with way too much fluff and nerd shit, and doesn't get to the fuuuucking point). He seemed like he'd be a pain in the ass to work with in a collective, but probably would be alright to work under.
I agree, I have a lot of respect for Trotsky as a revolutionary. There is an incredible compelling human story to be told about him and his relationships with the other Soviet leaders. It's just funny imagining him as a dork being dunked on.

The difference is that unlike Tobias, Trotsky did basically do all the work.
