Some Trots are, but even traditionally sharply critical trots like Cliffites (who will call AES “State Capitalism”) will at least pay lip service to critical support. In practice…they’re often too far on the critical and too short on the support for that to hold
That said a lot of groups traditionally considered “ultra” like Councilcoms, Left-Maoists of the “Little Deng” type, even some An Syns have supported AES while also being sharply critical. It’s Mostly Bordigists and Gonzalists and individual groups that have gone to the “Bad Crazy”.
Trotsky himself was kinda all over the place with praxis from opportunist to ultra in different times, and various trot orgs are often doing the same. Not always, but often.

n00b question, but are Trots ultras?
