Because people tend to go to Trotskyism because they percieve that it's somehow more morally sound and anti-authoritarian than traditional Marxism-Leninism. What it produces is a liberal-mindset that leads to leniency toward reformism, an advancement of petty-bourgeois intellectualism, and as Hitchens showed, a tendency to puppet imperialism.

All of this, of course, ignores that Trotsky himself would have never argued for such things, ironically.
