Why do people here really not like Trotskyists? (hexbear.net)

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.

I like Trotsky as much as he believed in the conditional revolutionary character of the Russian peasantry.
