Trotskyists value themselves on the amounts of "newspapers" they have sold.
- Trotskyists spend more time discussing policy that actually doing
groundwork.
- Trotskyists would rather die than have a kind word for somebody who
has left the movement.
Uh, as to the count/newspaper criticism: Many editors are vehemenentely against editcountitis; there is a whole page about it, as well as a userbox that says "this user does not think an editor's edit count reflects the quality of their contributions". And a healthy minority of longstanding editors don't ever check their count.
As to the policy to contributing ratio, there is no evidence supporting any math on how much talk or writing is done comparatively. Also, wouldn't it make perfect sense that an organization based on a collaborative process would spend a large amount of time discussing? If people didn't talk, then it would just be a constant mass edit war and nothing would get done.
Lastly, for evidence to contrary of the "no kind words for those who have left in anger or protest" check out User:Phadriel's (aka Sharon K.) WikiLove homage to those who have left or been forced to leave...

Who are these people who respond well to criticism from outsiders? And what's wrong with them?
How do I find my edit count, by the way? I tried doing that thing that's over at RfA, the math tool at the bottom of the nomination, and I swear I saw an edit count once before using it, and a way to see my own, but it just says I don't have authorization to access it (yeah, I won't ask why or what, I wouldn't want anyone to have to kill me).
