I live in the UK and nearly every older Communist you meet is a Trot and all the protests that I've been to that have had communists at them were mostly Trot orgs but online everyone just seems to shit on them for no clear reason. Am I missing something? Or is it just regular leftist infighting

Trots aren't ultra left, what?
In most interactions with them I find that they occupy a space inbetween ultras and MLs, mega-leftists perhaps?
Ultra leftists are those who take the positions appropriate for when the working class has achieved class consciousness and is the revolution is nigh or already happening, it's more how we should ideally structure things, and it is not what you talk about when you're talking to working people, and not taking ultra left positions is rather important, because you have to meet people where they are
The job of an org is to build a bridge for the working class from where their consciousness is to where you need it to be, ultraleftists just stand on the far end of the gap yelling at people for not being across it yet
