"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."

  • When Stalinist repression started the widow of Lenin said that if her husband was still alive he would be in jail.

    That shows the nature of Stalinist repression.

  • With the collapse of USSR nomenclatura transformed itself into a bourgeoisie but didn't disappear. What disappeared are the social achievements of the October revolution, that is a big step backwards for the working class and for all humanity

    The bureaucracy first expropriated politically the proletariat by taking the control of the state and party, with the USSR collapse the bureaucracy expropriated socially the proletariat by becoming a possessing class, thus completing the expropriation

  • 'Stalin is too rude, and this fault, entirely supportable in relations among us Communists, becomes insupportable in the office of General Secretary. Therefore, I propose to the comrades to find a way to remove Stalin from that position and appoint to it another man who in all respects differs from Stalin only in superiority -- namely, more patient, more loyal, more polite and more attentive to comrades, less capricious, etc.'

  • Me cago en Stalin, burgués, y la concha de su traición reaccionaria, que adoptó el modelo de producción fordista.

    Viva Liev Davídovich Bronstein!

  • Traducción:

    "El juicio de Stalin contra mí se basa en confesiones falsas, arrancadas por los modernos métodos de la Inquisición, según intereses de la camarilla gobernante. No hay crímenes en la historia más terrible en la intención o ejecución de los procesos de Moscú contra Zinoviev-Kamenev y Radek, Piatakov . Estos ensayos no se desarrollan a partir del comunismo, no del socialismo, sino del estalinismo, es decir, desde el despotismo irresponsable de la burocracia sobre el pueblo

  • The lessons from Marx, Engels, Lenin and Trotsky are still needed by ordinary people.

    Socialism is needed now more than ever.

    All power to the soviets!

  • Me comprometo a presentar a dicha comisión a todos mis archivos, miles de cartas personales en que el desarrollo de mi pensamiento y mi acción se refleja día por día, sin lagunas. No tengo nada que ocultar! docenas de testigos que están en el extranjero poseen los hechos y documentos de valor incalculable que arrojan luz sobre los procesos de Moscú

  • ¿Cuál es ahora mi principal tarea? Para revelar la verdad. Para mostrar y demostrar que los verdaderos criminales se esconden bajo el manto de los acusadores. ¿Cuál será el siguiente paso en esta dirección? La creación de un estadounidense, un Europeo y, posteriormente, , una comisión internacional de investigación, integrado por personas que sin duda disfrutar de la autoridad y la confianza del público.
