This could be a double definition.

'communist' is the first definition.
(short for Trotskyist)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for trot that I've seen before include "A slowish run, perhaps by horse" , "Fairly fast pace of a horse" , "Horse's steady pace" , "Gait between a walk and a canter" , "Fairly brisk pace" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
