If you want a much deeper discussion of this, I encourage you to take it to the Marxism thread. But in brief: Trotsky was right imo. But he was such an obnoxious goon about it that he managed to get himself killed. Early Trotskyists saw this not as a political failure on Trotsky's part to learn from but rather an indictment of the Soviet system entirely and Stalin personally as excessively authoritarian. In the decades since, the Trotskyist movement has been an ideological shelter for very annoying contrarians (like Trotsky), which Marxist movements already attract in spades. In my personal experience, a lot of the Trotskyists around where I'm at end up there either because they have an anti-Stalinist view (irrelevant but like Trotsky himself they can't shut up about it), or (more commonly) because they can't hack it in the social circles of other Marxists.

This has made them a very attractive current for various global anti-communist interests, because all you need to do it pay a pittance to keep their newspaper running and they'll act as irritating wreckers for you.

That said, not all Trotskyist groups are like this, of course. In my view Socialist Alternative is one of the more effective anti-capitalist groups in the United States, in that they've had any effect at all, anywhere. My personal interactions with SA members have generally been productive and they generally demonstrate some kind of internal discipline, which is woefully short supply in the anti-capitalist movement generally.
