I think I'm the loudest person on this instance in terms of saying "Trotsky should have been assassinated sooner, or else left in a dungeon to rot at the outset of his expulsion" and I just want to offer that not having an official position on Stalin/Trotsky in the year of our lord 2024 should not be a dealbreaker for a party that you think otherwise holds up. Being trot? Fine, fuck 'em. But just abstaining? That's really not such a horrendous thing even if I do disagree with it.
