The problem with the Trot mindset is that if they ever do a revolution, then the day after they will split and a part will denounce the other saying the socialist experience had degenerated. They can’t deal with the contradictions of building a new society from the previous one. That’s why their discourse is simply self-defeating.

We all know that Mao and Stalin did a lot of bad things, but that does not change the fact that both were trying to build something. And while they criticize the bureaucracy of the Soviet Union, that thing was there from the beginning, even when Trotsky was one of the party leaders.
