It seems someone has created a /c/trotskyists community. I believe this community should be removed for what I think are obvious reasons.

I’m on the fence. On the one hand, deeply committed Trots are wreckers and ultimately reactionary, but I was brought into Marxism by well-intentioned but poorly informed Trots: there is hope for some of them. Maybe we leave it there but make it more of a community to try to pull online Trots out of their ideological dead end. I don’t know what that process would be, maybe forcing them to allow historically accurate content to contrast their claims.
Just fill it with all the arguments against Trotsky, his crimes, etc. Use it to show everyone what a piece of shit he was.
That’s an interesting idea.
You know I see people posting WSWS all the time and they manage to catch a lot of people who don’t notice them like, denouncing the party doing a strike they’re covering positively as “deceiving the workers” in the article they shared, don’t know about their anti-“cancel culture” shit where they root for Harvey Weinstein and shit.
/c/Trotskyism could just become a repository of deranged and COINTELPRO trot behavior, history, etcetera.
