"The revolution is impossible without a revolutionary theory."
"The revolution is a continuous process."
"The fate of the Russian Revolution depends entirely upon the course of the world revolution."
"The revolution is a great leap forward, but it is also a great leap into the unknown."
"The old society has been torn to shreds. Now a new society must be built. This is the task of the new man."
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.
