I know people love to turn him into a meme, but it's pretty tone-deaf.

      the guy who made this isnt a trot, he is a self proclaimed "anarchist" that believes all violence is bad and you should give fascists free speech and not punch them, he is also anti-revolution and he is super into electoralism and during the election went super pro biden, you would think most of his comics are calling ML tankies but the guys criticizes other anarchists more than MLs

      I always see that term and wonder about its ambiguous meaning.

      Urban dictionary:

      trotskyist: A socialist (not a communist) who follows the political ideas of intellectual Soviet Revolutionary and writer Leon Trotsky. Trotsky belived that democracy can not survive in a capitalist system (because it will be overtaken by the oppressive elite, sound familiar?), and that socialism can not exist without regular democratic elections (because it will be overtaken by a egomaniacal fascist piece of shit like Stalin, Lenin, or Mao). They also belive that the ultimate goal of socialism is to bring about world peace and create a global community where all people are equal. Naturally, Trotskyists (or trots) are hated by both right wing AND left wing fascists.
