Why would the Commissar of Military and Naval affairs under Lenin, who was instrumental in founding the red army and oversaw the purging of Mahknovists and other anarchist elements in the early USSR be less authoritarian than Stalin?
If you spent more time explaining things rather than "dunking on libs" maybe your movement would be less on the fringe. I don't have an opinion on who is more authoritarian, which is why it was obnoxious that you matter-of-factly made your point without any substance.
Genuine question, if you don't have a stance on Trotsky, and you don't know fuck all about him, why are you wading into this comment chain in the first place?
You see, the comment sections of divisive posts are a place that you can learn about opinions different than your own or to learn new things. If you want, I can go back to the neoliberal echo chambers where people are actually engaged in discussing things in good faith.
I'm glad you could enlighten us with a post that doesn't bother to explain anything.

I took it for granted that people who had a stance on Trotsky would know who he is.
I don't have a stance on Trotsky. Maybe you should check who you are responding to before you automatically start "dunking on libs".
