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.
yeah you’re right. Throughout the 90s there was also the anti-globalist movement, there were the “post-leftists” on college campuses, various ecological movements too.
I realized I forgot to mention that. Younger people throughout the 90s and onwards had anarchist tendencies if they wanted to do something real. The Trotskyites I mentioned became increasingly older, more weird, secluded and bitter. Whereas the anarchist types were the ones continuing the work on the ground.
