You'd think for r/Marxism, they would adopt a more Classically Marxist stance, not an Ultraleft or Maoist one.

Trotskyists call themselves Marxists all the time. Ultras love to take that title for whatever reason.

it's the most general one and maybe they don't expect people to know what a trot is?

For an individual to call themselves that, this makes sense. But Trot groups identify their entire orgs as Marxist and don't say Trotskyist. I think they're really trying to do two things:

  1. Imply that they are the main inheritors of the label.

  2. Obfuscate their org as Trotskyist.

Similarly, marxists.org, which has many good materials, is actually a Trotskyist website. It alwways feels a little weird how cagey they are about openly identifying themselves.
