Because england was in competition with the SU post WWII and so they villanized stalin, so leftists turned to the largest left opposition which at the time was the 4th international. If it had been anarchists we'd be talking about the anarchist to neocon pipeline.
It's why the newly radicalizing US left is largely demsoc and anarchist. They're the strongest left opposition.
I think it's a result of "What You See Is All There Is" bias. Behavioral economics is pretty lib, but Kahneman's book "Thinking Fast and Slow" is certainly an interesting exploration of cognitive biases in our thought process. I think the Trot hate stems from a series of these biases working together.
The explanation above (and the similar comment in the most recent Trot struggle session) are super obvious in retrospect. Once that narrative is established it makes perfect sense. But before then people will jump to faulty conclusion based on heuristics and run with it more or less uncritically until corrected. Just the way we seem to be wired. They see a bunch of former Trots sell out- they identify the common factor- they assume it must be causal. End of process. Sampling errors/biases don't tend to immediately (if ever) jump to mind naturally. People have to train to look for it.
Anglos in the core will become every conceivable flavor of leftoid before they become communists. They just can’t bring themselves to be directly oppose the power, it always has to be a glancing blow
Why the fuck is everyone on TERF island a trot of some sort?
