Why do people here really not like Trotskyists? Is it just because of his beef with Stalin and not an actual criticism of his views? Do people really not think a global movement would be superior for the betterment of all people?

Edit: Thank you to everyone who provided context and history, y’all are a wealth of knowledge.

Even I don’t totally agree, these are all reasonable critiques that we shouldn’t be afraid to investigate further.

I mostly agree, except for the parts that aren’t true, like wealth inequality rising. It reflects a very principled person, at the least, so hopefully with more knowledge, they’d be willing to reexamine their belief.
