More from Leon Trotsky
"Life is beautiful. Let the future generations cleanse it of all evil, oppression and violence, and enjoy it to the full."
"The struggle for socialism is a struggle for human liberation."
"The working class must break the chains of capitalism."
"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."
"The revolution is merciless, not only toward those who lag behind, but toward those who run ahead."
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.
