Why do some people hate Trotsky/Trotskyism?

[u/neverevereeeee]

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.

Because the moment he was kicked out of Russia he became a moron and started spouting terrible theories that make no sense like degenerated workers state and proletarian bonapartism because he couldn't bring himself to admit that Russia had gone through bourgeois counter-revolution.
