"The October Revolution was a democratic revolution, carried out by the working class."
"Life is not an easy matter... You cannot live through it without falling into a state of despair and cynicism unless you have an ideal to cling to."
"The bureaucracy, which by its very nature is conservative, is the principal obstacle to social progress."
"The proletariat, having taken power, is obliged to carry out the most radical democratic measures."
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.
