as long as they are not overly sectarian or overly critical of states actually attempting to build socialism.

i sure would like to meet those Trots in person cause I sure haven't.

I don't think I've ever met any kind of trot in person

ill admit i only know of two, but one of them gifted me Fascism what it is and how to fight it, and it was filled with so much whining about "Stalinism" i couldnt help but laugh, mostly because the Trots I know are firmly against any AES. Modern day Trots want the revolution, but also every revolution that has happened has been bad. They are like anarchists when it comes to saying "red fascism" way too fucking much.

I have only spoken at any length to one, but he was very quick to tell me that China was not socialist, and that it is state capitalist and ccp evil.

it would appear that it's impossible for them to agree with any successful revolutions. Trotsky was the first commie edgelord who got BTFO and then kept screaming "i would have done it better!" while he does shit like tour fascist Italy.

Michael Hudson, who is the godson of Trotsky for those who don’t know. Hudson is an exception to all those stereotypes (to be fair, he’s probably not so much ideologically a Trotskyist apart from his family background, but he sure likes to throw shade at the “Stalinists”)
