I think you're conflating Trotskyism, thought based on the works of Trotsky, with Trots. Regardless of what Trotsky wrote and believed, Trots generally oppose AES and are generally defined by that and bringing up Stalin and Stalinists to bash at every opportunity, even when it doesn't have anything to do with the topic at hand.
EDIT: Also I swear to god they fucking read What is to Be Done and come to the conclusion "We gotta start a newspaper in 2024!"
The printing press is a compelling new technology that will let us spread our ideas to the people!
That just sounds like being a lib with extra steps
But yeah they sound pretty bad from the general consensus.
this is an incredible read of the IMT in England
idk, Trots seem to follow Trotsky's example pretty well from what I know of the former: https://www.revolutionarydemocracy.org/archive/trotsky.htm
