I don't understand this scorn for Trotskyists that seems to be floating around. Is the scorn aimed at Trotsky himself or at Trotskyists? I've read a bit of Trotsky and it's not significantly different from Lenin or Marx as far as I can see. I've also spoken to other Trotskyists and haven't been able to discern any backwardsness in their arguments. I've talked to those not calling themselves Trotskyists and their arguments are equally valid for the most part. Most socialists I know have also read Trotsky and greatly respect and value his contributions. Understand I'm not including the Spartacists(I don't understand why they are called orthodox Trotskyists at all, they seem to have more in common with Mormons than anything.) Write back, Trotsky bashing just doesn't seem to make a lot of sense.
