TrotskyLeon Trotsky was, next to Lenin, the main leader of the Russian Revolution
of 1917 and one of the greatest theoreticians of the workers’ movement.
His theory of the permanent revolution brilliantly anticipated the class
forces involved in the outcome of the Russian revolution, and still
conserves its clear validity for the struggle against capitalism and
landlordism in the neo-colonial world today. After the bureaucratic
degeneration of the Russian Revolution following the isolation of the 1917
revolution, Trotsky became the leading figure of the international Left
opposition, which organised the political struggle against Stalinism, and
upheld the methods of Marxism and internationalism. He was assassinated by
an agent of Stalin in 1940, just two years after having completed his
famous work, “Transitional Programme”, which served as the central
document for the founding conference of the 4th International, and from
which crucial lessons must be drawn for today’s worldwide struggle of the
working class against the capitalist crisis. |
