Nuno Geraldes’s Reviews > La Revolución Permanente > Status Update

Halfway through, the book is pulling the ground out from under a comfortable way of thinking. Trotsky doesn’t let you sit still in any easy stage-by-stage idea of history, everything becomes more interconnected, more unstable, more demanding to rethink. It’s the kind of text that doesn’t just inform you but unsettles the way you look at political change, like it’s quietly shaking the sofa you were trying to relax on.
