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.

A lot of ultra left wing westerners since the 1968 would eventually become rightwingers not because of the nature of the project but what the project overpromise to do.

A lot of people can take that much disappointment before turning and joining the Machine.
