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 get a bad name, particularly UK Trots, on the basis of they tend to get weird as they age. Like, Spike magazine taking money from the Koch brothers weird. Or in general when some conservative ghoul claims to be a former Marxist, they were a Trot.

      Is it like a statistical thing because most anglo marxists were trots at some point?
