I see and hear from communists an anger towards Trotskyism. Can someone from an anti-Trotskyist position explain the reasons to avoid Trotskyism.

    The important historical reason is that Trotskyism is opposed to the worker-peasant alliance. That’s an untenable position now given the events that happened after Trotsky (in Vietnam, China, etc)

    The leftist squabble reason is that Stalinists and people aligned with them are mad at Trotskyists opposing them.
