It’s a fair point, though I think this meme is going after a very specific type of person: present day neoconservatives that say they used to be Trotskyites.

I’ve never seen a Trot on this site. I’m probably the closest thing in that “I think Stalin did a lot of good but also a lot of bad, but obviously not anything close to what anti-communists claim. Ultimately he and the party were faced with a multitude of impossible problems and I don’t know if the choices I would have made in his shoes would have been any better”.
