"The dialectic is not a magical master key for all questions. It is not an algebra. It is a method of analysis, a method of investigation."
"Art, like science, does not seek to impose its will on life, but rather to reflect it, to understand it, and to reveal its inner laws."
"Socialism needs democracy like the human body needs a nervous system."
"The working class is the only truly international class."
"The working class can achieve its liberation only through its own efforts."
About Leon Trotsky (1879-1940)
Russian revolutionary, Red Army organizer, and theorist of permanent revolution who lost the post-Lenin succession struggle and was assassinated in Mexico in 1940. Closely associated with Vladimir Lenin (revolutionary partner and 1917 ally). For an intellectual contrast, see Joseph Stalin, Soviet leader (1924-1953) — Stalin exiled Trotsky in 1929, expunged him from Soviet history, and ordered his Mexico City ice-pick assassination in 1940. Their Permanent Revolution vs Socialism in One Country debate decided the Soviet 1920s succession — and Stalinist orthodoxy was defined by the loser's elimination.
