Trotsky was a wrecker through and through in his later years. Any claims of wanting “unity” are laughable when contrasted with his own anti-unity wrecker behavior within the soviet union. Trotksy himself was no “Marxist genius,” he believed the proletariat should attack the peasantry and hoped the developed countries would rebel and save the Russian proletariat from backlash. Social Democracy had sided with the fascists against the communists, and insodoing ruined Germany.
What Trotksy wanted happened: The SPD got what they wanted, and Hindenburg gave the seat to Hitler. Trotksy was wrong, just like the SPD was.

Anyway, like I said I don’t plan to have an extensive debate. I’ll leave you with this:

Edit: Fun fact, I’ve actually visited Trotsky’s house in exile in Mexico City.
