It's a good tactic because it make people considering join the left look up and join trot groups.
This is beneficial to the bourgeoisie because trots are really fucking bad at revolution. I would wager attacking everyone as a tankie is actually in fact creating more tankies.
I know an older fellow (think mid fifties) who was leafleting for Corbyn's Labour in 2017 and had random passersby call him a Trot. The joke's on them because he used to be a Trot and once visited Frida Kahlo's house in Mexico.
Based on what I saw in the Labour leaks, it would seem "trot" is essentially used like "tankie" over there
