More from Leon Trotsky
"The dialectic of history is more cunning than the cunning of any individual."
"The old society does not perish until it has exhausted all its creative possibilities."
"The bureaucracy is a cancer on the body of the workers' state."
"Ideas that enter the mind under fire remain there securely and forever."
"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."
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.
