More from Leon Trotsky
"The fate of the revolution depends on the international proletariat."
"The bureaucracy, which has taken over the leadership of the party and the state, has become an obstacle to the further development of the revolution."
"The revolution is the only way out of the crisis."
"Old age is the most unexpected of all things that can happen to a man."
"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."
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.
