Why do people here really not like Trotskyists? Is it just because of his beef with Stalin and not an actual criticism of his views? Do people really not think a global movement would be superior for the betterment of all people?

Edit: Thank you to everyone who provided context and history, y’all are a wealth of knowledge.

    if America became AES it would necessarily involve decolonization. What would remain would hopefully not resemble the current formation, culture, or arrangement of America. Hopefully it wouldn’t even be called the same thing, or perhaps wouldn’t be a single country but perhaps even a loose confederation of indigenous nations and whatever remains in-between

    It would be like saying we would also hate Israel if it became socialist. Yeah no shit, because Israel shouldn’t exist. So yea I’m always going to hate Amerikkka unless it’s stripped bare and the racism purged through decolonization, no matter how nominally socialist it gets

    Maybe you come from a place that isn’t a settler colony so maybe that sort of perspective is lost on you?
