1,072 books805 followersSee also Лев Троцкий
Russian theoretician Leon Trotsky or Leon Trotski, originally Lev Davidovitch Bronstein, led the Bolshevik of 1917, wrote Literature and Revolution in 1924, opposed the authoritarianism of Joseph Stalin, and emphasized world; therefore later, the Communist party in 1927 expelled him and in 1929 banished him, but he included the autobiographical My Life in 1930, and the behest murdered him in exile in Mexico.
The exile of Leon Trotsky in 1929 marked rule of Joseph Stalin.
People better know this Marxist. In October 1917, he ranked second only to Vladimir Lenin. During the early days of the Soviet Union, he served first as commissar of people for foreign affairs and as the founder and commander of the Red Army and of war. He also ranked among the first members of the Politburo.
After a failed struggle of the left against the policies and rise in the 1920s, the increasing role of bureaucracy in the Soviet Union deported Trotsky. An early advocate of intervention of Army of Red against European fascism, Trotsky also agreed on peace with Adolf Hitler in the 1930s. As the head of the fourth International, Trotsky continued to the bureaucracy in the Soviet Union, and Ramón Mercader, a Soviet agent, eventually assassinated him. From Marxism, his separate ideas form the basis of Trotskyism, a term, coined as early as 1905. Ideas of Trotsky constitute a major school of Marxist. The Soviet administration never rehabilitated him and few other political figures.

This is a collection of articles written between 1934 and 1938. Capitalism was in crisis and hurtling towards war once again, nazism was moving to power in Germany, and the working class was moving towards revolution and fascism was trying to appeal to the petty-bourgeoisie (that was probably the last time the petty-bourgeoisie had considerable political influence in France).
These articles were meant to arm the French trotskyists faced with the degeneration of the 3rd international and the creeping remains of the 2nd. Stalinism and reformism, which at that time were effectively one tendency, through the popular front policy in France and internationally, collaborated to lead the workers' movement to defeat by subduing it to one of the representatives of the French financial bourgeoisie, the so-called Parti Radical. The trotskyists were far too inexperienced and far too small in numbers to actually present themselves as a viable alternative to these tendencies. These articles are the closest thing to a digested guide of policy in a revolutionary period, against the rise of fascism, and against stalinism/reformism. The lessons in then are still very much relevant to revolutionary activity today.
The decrepit leadership of the movement in France choked it and forced it to move slowly (or rather repeatedly through similar phases), so there is quite a bit of repetition across the articles that can make reading them tedious. The extra effort to stay alert and catch the subtle changes in where Trotsky put emphasis depending on where the movement was and where it was headed is definitely worth it though. This is an underrated text imo.
