I met some who were very nice, seemed very rational, didn’t even come off as “culty” as their particular Trot party is “known” to be. I mean, yeah, ideologically they’re not quite right, but like, more people working against capitalism, who at least understand and agree with what Lenin said, is a good thing, right? Sectarianism is silly and left unity between Marxist tendencies is important to get to the point of revolution and then sorting out our differences, right?

My personal dislikes:
Everything they write has a mandatory condemnation of Stalin.
Fuck off with the newspapers already.
(These are, of course, exaggerated)
The ones around here are literally always offering newspapers outside meetings of other orgs instead of going inside and participating.
My local ones do seem to actually participate in stuff… they do try to sell their newspaper at/after the events they participate in, but they’re Trots, it’d be weird if they weren’t selling newspapers. I don’t think I’ve ever met a Trotskyist who didn’t try to sell me a newspaper.
