I see people who are left-liberal anticommunists getting called Tr*ts sometimes but I don’t know what exactly it means.

What characterises a Trotskyist?

The only things I know are that Trotsky:

  • was opposed to Stalin.
  • wanted international revolutions.
  • perished because of an ice-pick attack. (Not sure about this.)

    I asked that to a comrade in my party once. In his opinion, they are people who want to be communists (and Marxists) but can’t see themselves supporting the USSR.

    This, in my opinion, leads to an immature ideology. You can’t be Marxist-Leninist and not support the USSR, it’s incompatible (with all necessary caveats but bear with me here). So at some point your growth has to stop and this leads Trotskyists to adopt some reactionary viewpoints, for example forming the Leon Sedov brigade.
