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.

The local IMT adjacent org is running a defacto fraud scheme on easily impressionable young people where you have to give 60-120$ per month to be part of a 6 men local chapter of their party.

They ask specifically the new member to write them a void cheque so that the money can be transfered automatically monthly.

Also, they seem to believe that only imperial core countries can be the vanguard of world revolution. So i guess all i have to do is for these enlightened red mandarins and messiah to press the button any day now.
