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?

The interview Odd Lots did with him went into this a bit. He helped organize a strike or something and then after it was over management fucked the strikers and his takeaway was that socialism doesn't work. Guy saw one loss and gave up lol
