    Grover Furr’s proof that Trotsky was a Nazi collaborator: if there was evidence it would have been destroyed, no evidence exists therefore he was a Nazi collaborator

      Never really understood all the hate that people have towards Trotsky. Just like any major political figure Trotsky had his glaring faults, but I haven’t really ever heard anyone verbalize an actual reason besides"he was annoying, or a political snake".

      It’s especially funny that Furr specifically calls him out as a collaborator of Nazi and imperial Japan, considering that there’s really no evidence supporting it. Even more so considering Stalin definitely collaborated with the Nazi and materially supported the KMT.
