Thought this would be fun since this is one of the few political spaces where you don't have to pretend you've always been an infallible commissar.
Palled around with a trot organisation when I was 14 (I know, I went trot-an syn-ML so I'm better these days). Here's a couple highlights:
Constantly interrupted organisers talking about class structure to ask about legalising weed (appending my question with "that would be pretty cool for me" so they knew I was a cool guy that smoked weed).
Confidently telling a friend that "Stalin actually a hit put out on Lenin" a fact which bears no relationship to reality
I wrote honest to God fan fiction about the 4th international leading to a global revolution. Like somewhere between Turtle dove and NarutoXSasuke AU in terms of literary value.
Being majorly psyched for Obama...and then François Hollande (I am neither French nor american)
I'll lob some more in the comments!

Eh I'm mostly just taking the piss. The trots I know are good folks as an ML I just have some broader disagreement with aspects of their theory and don't feel the organising it lends itself to is likely to lead to success in the areas it puts it's emphasis on.
I'm left unity gang though

Yeah...that sure sounds like Trots.
But yeah they're sincerely leftists and I've worked with loads of good trots so you can do a hell of a lot worse
Trot reporting in, but at least our branch led a 500 person blm march :D
