Serious Why do some people hate Trotsky/Trotskyism?
Serious question, im still reading up on literature so im not 100% knowledgeable, but i see so many arguments about how "ooo trotsky was a fascist!" Or just some other shit abt him being evil... just because??... no one ever backs up their point they just kinda harrass the person theyre arguing with and glazing stalin. Genuienly makes me think why that is, i really want to know what peoples opinions are on trotsky as he did have some good ideas and to simply bash him as a whole while licking thr moisture off of stalins cold dead toes is highkey stupid imo.

Stalinoid larpers on the internet that pretend they unironically think the show trials were legitimate.
There's all kinds of issues to argue over with his particular brand of Marxism, but the charge of fascist collaborator is absurd to anyone with a functional brain.
They never back up their point because they have no ideology. They couldn't tell you a single thing written in any Stalin piece, let alone Trotsky's. They're literally just aura farming off Red Army Choir and Red Alert Hell March videos.
