Question for the MLs - why do we dislike Trots so much? (hexbear.net)

I met some who were very nice, seemed very rational, didn't even come off as "culty" as their particular Trot party is "known" to be. I mean, yeah, ideologically they're not quite right, but like, more people working against capitalism, who at least understand and agree with what Lenin said, is a good thing, right? Sectarianism is silly and left unity between Marxist tendencies is important to get to the point of revolution and then sorting out our differences, right?

Avoid RCP like the plague.

Do you mind if I ask if you have more that you'd like to share about your experience? Or a previous comment/post where you did, if you've written about it before?

[–] sexywheat@hexbear.net 1 points 1 day ago

There have been a few /r/trueanon threads on the RCP that I commented on but I'm having trouble finding them at the moment.

When I have more time I'd be happy to give you a write up.
