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.

    Yeah, I mean I understand that the only realistic way is revolution, which is kind of hard to advocate for in public spaces, which I understand.

      i’m another commenter but to me it’s not that it’s hard to advocate revolution, it’s that i can’t picture realistically happening in any meaningful and lasting way here

              Educating us is incredibly challenging. The anti communist immune response built into almost every adult is immediate and severe. But the contradictions are always heightening which makes the soil more fertile. No I cannot stick to just one metaphor!
