More from Leon Trotsky

"The working class is the only truly international class."
"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."
"We are concerned here with either real traitors or complete imbeciles. But imbecility, raised to this level, is equal to treason."
"War is the locomotive of history, but the revolution is its engineer."
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.
