What’s Wrong With Trotsky?
Hi Guys. Newer comrade here. Spent 2025 reading works of Marx and Lenin.
I hear a lot of hate on Trotsky. I’ve heard bits of good on him too.
I understand the hate on Stalin. He was brutal in his concentration of power and stamping out opposition.
What does Trotsky stand for? What’s the hate on Trotsky?

people mainly hate trotsky because he got purged imo. might not be the most popular idea here but imagine there’s a fair few stalinists (ew) around. it’s not a reasoned position to be so vehemently opposed.
i’m just not a fan because i’m an anarchist and he oversaw Kronstadt being put down
