More from Leon Trotsky
"The creative activity of the masses is the fundamental factor of the revolution."
"The fate of the revolution depends on the international proletariat."
"Socialism needs democracy like the human body needs a nervous system."
"The old world will collapse, and the new world will be built on its ruins."
"The revolution is not a dinner party, not an essay, not a painting, not a embroidery; it cannot be so refined, so leisurely and gentle, so 'benign', 'courteous', 'restrained' and 'magnanimous'."
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.
