More from Leon Trotsky
"The permanent revolution, in the sense which Marx attached to this concept, means a revolution which does not stop at the democratic stage, but which goes on to the socialist transformation of society…"
"If you cannot convince a Fascist, acquaint his head with the pavement."
"The working class has no alternative but to take power into its own hands."
"You are pitiful, isolated individuals! You are bankrupts. Your role is played out. Go where you belong from now on – into the dustbin of history!"
"The dictatorship of the proletariat is a bridge to socialism."
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.
