We can all work together to better the world. We were all misguided liberals at first, who wanted the world to be better but didn’t know how. We all now approach our destination in different ways but we can work together.

I see a lot of anarchists who distrust MLs for similar reasons, but we both must get past that. History is history. We learn from it and get better. If MLs and anarchists can work together, then so can everyone else.
Trots are wayyy different though. Anarchists and MLs are like political rivals who keep falling in love. Trots are just those bastards who keep turning out to be neocons and armchair only socialists
I guess I’m trying to draw a line in the sand between the “bad” trots and the “good” trots defined by who turns neocon and who’s willing to work with other leftists despite ideological differences.
I think there were some conditions that drove a fraction of a particular generation of trots into neocons around the dissolution of the USSR (bad time for leftists in general obviously). Every current trot I've spoken to has been cool.
:pika-pickaxe:
100%
Damn maybe we can actually win some of them back to the broader left? It seems like any trot i've seen who still wont cooperate with other communists is doing so deliberately and performatively. But the rest seem to at least mean well and, you know, kinda want communism at some point
the only good trot is an ex-trot
