"The permanent revolution, in the Marxian sense, means the uninterrupted development of the revolution, the uninterrupted transformation of the old society."
"The fate of the world revolution depends on the fate of the Russian Revolution."
"The machine does not make the worker, but the worker makes the machine."
"If there is a war, we shall not sit on the fence."
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.
