More from Leon Trotsky
"Against my protests a mausoleum was built on the Red Square, a monument unbecoming and offensive to the revolutionary consciousness."
"The revolution is a struggle for the liberation of all oppressed peoples."
"The bureaucracy, which has become an end in itself, has been replaced by another bureaucracy, which has become an end in itself."
"The revolution is a merciless struggle."
"The working class needs a party, as a lever for the conquest of power, but it needs a party that is not afraid to lead it to power."
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.
