I'm part of a smallish local trot organisation whose members are grounded in reality and bring interesting conversations to the table. I don't really understand why everyone here digs into trots, I assume it's all part of a years-long inside joke on the site and I interpret it as good faith joshing around.
...That is how I'm supposed to interpret it, right?
It probably depends on the trots you know. I hang out with an ex-Trot org that dropped the Trot label because Trots were generally way too harsh on smaller Marxist revolutions (e.g. Cuba, Vietnam, Laos etc). I also know a lot of SAlt members (both current and former) that I mention elsewhere in the thread. I think trots can vary quite wildly, both individually and as organisations.
It's like anti-italian racism, only instead of being illiterate like Italians, every trot aspires to run their own publishing house.
