06:01 when u said that Trosky would didn't let anyone disagree with him,

Stalin did the same thing only he would kill or arrest you and your family

[RedNickII]

That is a lie made up by the Nazis.

Secondly, our Party would be a caste and not a revolutionary party if it did not permit different shades of opinion in its ranks. - Josef Stalin, Trotskyism or Leninism

b. at 04:10 ...arresting etc. of Red Army officers. The problem was that the Red Army still had many czarist officers in it. It could not have been otherwise.

[RedNickII]

Punishing and being strict with the officers is one thing, but to bring their families into the matter is just wrong. Their families had nothing to do with it, and should have been left alone. I was speaking out against actions taken against the families, not the officers themselves. Were you even paying attention?

[DrMerkwuerdichliebe]

I find it hard to believe that Leib Bronstein could be in the centre of power for quite a long time if he was THAT incompetent, or just another traitor or provocateur.

[RedNickII]

If you actually watched the video you'd know he wasn't in the center of power for long.

[BandOfBrothers25]

This guy is a terrible murderer.

[squathacker]

btw, Marx created the theory of permanent revolution. Trotsky just expanded it.

[mattandersonWSWS]

Robert Service and other leading British academics have launched a campaign of historical falsification, slandering Trotsky, and denying his historical significance. The purpose of the campaign is to prevent young people coming into political struggle from learning about Trotsky's political legacy. David North of the World Socialist Website has written a number of essays in defence of Trotsky - see "Political biography and the historical lie: An examination of Robert Service’s Trotsky" on wsws

[xoloboy]

Trotsky thought it correct to attack Mexico's President Lazaro Cardenas after Cardenas gave him asylum in Mexico. Cardenas who was the only Mexican President that implemented a real socialist agenda, was generous enough to allow Trotsky into Mexico. But Trotsky, who made secret alliances with the CIA. Rockefeller, Mussolini and Hitler, was far from graceful and attacked Cardenas socialist policies as burgeois acts. Trotsky was nothing more than a small and petty mouse in the house of lions.

[coquitlam30]

It would be funny if a Bavarian mountain climber killed Trotsky with an Ice Axe.

[MrCrazyCaveman]

I was him in a past life

[pulsatingremedy]

Trotsky we all know him. Most disagree with him, few agree with him.

But we must remember that he did help Lenin and the revolution.

I call for peace between all leftist ideologies be it anarchism, social democracy, Marxism, or Trotskyism.

There IS a bigger enemy. The ones who would like seeing us fight against eachother.

We need to start out peacefully. Remember we have justice on our side!

All it takes is organization. We CAN do this!
