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.

    They have a poor track record generally, and in the global north they're very splitty hedgy rather than ultra critical. I personally think of global movements like the old oxygen masks on an airplane example, if you don't get your own on its hard to help the person next to you. Two this is online and very vibes based.
