More from Leon Trotsky
"The revolution demands all of a man; it does not tolerate half-measures."
"The bureaucracy is a cancer on the body of the workers' state."
"The Old Man (Lenin) made mistakes, but he was always honest."
"Where there is no revolutionary theory, there can be no revolutionary movement."
"The party that has an independent press has everything."
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.
