Why is Trotsky usually hated around socialist circles of all sorts? Permanent Revolution and International Revolution sounds pretty based to me.

Jack Johnson
"Permanent revolution" literally meant perpetual warfare. It was incredibly unpopular with the Soviet masses.
Trotsky was a whiny lying cunt. He couldn't get any popular support for his crazy ideas, so he resorted to smears and a coup attempt. He got kicked out and still kept whining constantly until he forced Stalin to shut him up.

anarchists and leftcoms hate Trotsky because of his role in putting down kronstadt

Because there was the soviet equivalent of a red scare accusing anyone and everyone of being trotskyist, blaming every problem under the sun on trotskyist wreckers and using the comintern to extend this smear campaign and purge internationally so that within every comintern affiliated communist party there could be a purge of 'trotskyists' and anyone could be accused of being one giving the leadership the excuse to shout down, intimidate and in some cases outright murder party members.
Anarkiddies literally just know him as 'le ebil anarchy destroyer'
Anyway we have this thread every week and no one comes away any smarter because no one reads trotsky anyway, people know the words 'permanent revolution' and extrapolate their own meaning from it and that is for them enough, see here
Lincoln Edwards
It doesn't
lol @ the idea that the soviet masses knew about theoretical in-fightings of the Communist Party
The army loved him and that's why Stalin had to go purge everyone

Wikipedia is Trotskyite propaganda, Trotsky's concept of it was to constantly try to expand the USSR through warfare without taking any breaks.
