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?

I did get into a bit of an argument with one about "great man" theory of history and the importance of Lenin's works and historical role. They are pretty dogmatic while insisting MLs are the dogmatists.
