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.

More from Leon Trotsky
"The revolution is a process of class struggle, not a conspiracy."
"The proletariat must seize power and smash the old state machine."
"The working class must learn to fight, and it must learn to win."
"Life is not an easy matter... You cannot live through it without falling into a rut every now and then. And then you must hoist yourself out of the rut by your own bootstraps."
"The revolution is a continuous process."
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.
