Trotsky's Speech in Mexico (about the Moscow trials)

Trotsky was assassinated in Mexico in August 1940.
This film dates from between 1937 and then.
Trotsky is holding a copy of his book 'Behind The Moscow Trial'.

"Stalin's trial against me is built upon false confessions, extorted by modern Inquisitorial methods, in the interests of the ruling clique. There are no crimes in history more terrible in intention or execution than the Moscow trials of Zinoviev-Kamenev and of Radek-Piatakov. These trials develop not from communism, not from socialism, but from Stalinism, that is, from the irresponsible despotism of the bureaucracy over the people!

"What is now my principal task? To reveal the truth. To show and to demonstrate that the true criminals hide under the cloak of the accusers. What will be the next step in this direction? The creation of an American, a European and subsequently, an international commission of inquiry, composed of people who incontestably enjoy authority and public confidence. I will undertake to present to such a commission all my files, thousands of personal and open letters in which the development of my thought and my action is reflected day by day, without any gaps. I have nothing to hide! Dozens of witnesses who are abroad possess invaluable facts and documents which will shed light on the Moscow frame-ups. The work of the commission of inquiry must terminate in a great countertrial. A countertrial is necessary to cleanse the atmosphere of the germs of deceit, slander, falsification and frame-ups, whose source is Stalin's police, the GPU, which has fallen to the level of the Nazi Gestapo."

 It was Stalin the one who betrayed the communism, not Trotzky

[LevTrotsky1917]

Thank you very much for sending me this video!

[andymlcn2009]

@radurambo of course man Stalin was not a socialist he was a tyrant, Trosky was a marxist

I think that Trotsky and Stalin both had flaws in their thinking, and i believe that the USSR needed a brutal power such as Stalin to survive, but they needed a forgiving leader like Trotsky afterward... Lenin needed to stay in power, unfortunately he died, and may we all remember him, Trotsky was an Internationalist, and that is what the USSR needed after WWII

Trotsky lives on in spirit.If he had won control of the bolsheviks instead of stalin the world would look very different.At the very least he would have helped the republic in Spain defeat the fascist uprising,therefore stopping the appeasement policy towards fascism and nazism and winning the peoples struggle against hitler,mussolini and franco without the huge death toll of the war

Long live Trotsky!

Long live revolution!

death to fascists and reactionaries everywhere!

It's too bad he's speaking in English. He was a great orator. Still even in broken English this is a fantastic speech.
