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?

If you said this about anarchist here you'd probably get the comment removed for sectarianism.

Trots appear to be exempt from the anti infighting rules. I take no issue with it whatsoever, it is deserved.

Kinda wish I could slag off anarchists too tbh but whatever. Water under the bridge.

Perhaps the leadership here should issue everyone an icepick. Really take ownership of our collective hate for Trotsky and his ongoing cult of personality. Lol.
