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.)

    imagine a pile of dogshit

    That is your foundation of trotskyism

    For a serious answer I would refer you to two letters by Trotsky

    Two policies may now be applied: to destroy ideologically and organically the fractional walls which still exist, and thus destroy the very foundations of Leninism, which is incompatible with the organisation of workers into a political party, but which can perfectly grow on the manure of splits; or, on the contrary, to conduct a fractional selection of anti- Leninists (Mensheviks or liquidators) by a complete liquidation of the divergences on tactics.
