More quotes by Leon Trotsky

Image
The history of a revolution is for us first of all a history of the forcible entrance of the masses into the realm of rulership over their own destiny.
Leon Trotsky
Image
Once again, he who ignores the problems of revolutionary strategy would do better not to talk about revolutions at all.
Leon Trotsky
Image
Insurrection is an art, and like all arts has its own laws.
Leon Trotsky
Image
Fascism is a caricature of Jacobinism.
Leon Trotsky
Image
Old age is the most unexpected of all things that happen to a man.
Leon Trotsky
Image
Where force is necessary, there it must be applied boldly, decisively and completely.
Leon Trotsky
Image
The Federated Republic of Europe-the United States of Europe-that is what must be. National autonomy no longer suffices. Economic evolution demands the abolition of national frontiers. If Europe is to remain split into national groups, then Imperialism will recommence its work. Only a Federated Republic of Europe can give peace to the world.

Only in the Fall of 1924 did [Joseph] Stalin discover that it is especially Russia, as distinguished from other countries, which can by its own forces build up a socialist society.
Leon Trotsky

Leon Trotsky
Image
England is nothing but the last ward of the European madhouse, and quite possibly it will prove to be the ward for particularly violent cases.
Leon Trotsky
Image
The task of the proletariat is to create a still more powerful fatherland with a far greater power of resistance, the Republican United States of Europe, as the foundation of the United States of the World.
Leon Trotsky
Image
You may not be interested in strategy, but strategy is interested in you.
Leon Trotsky
Image
Our planet is being turned into a filthy and evil-smelling imperialist barrack.
Leon Trotsky
Image
From being a patriotic myth, the Russian people have become an awful reality.
Leon Trotsky
Image
The Left Opposition declared that the new tempo of industrialization were above our forces, and that the liquidation of the kulaks as a class in the course of three years was a fantastic task, if one wishes to say so, we find ourselves this time less radical than the Stalinists.
Leon Trotsky
Image
The creative union of the conscious with the unconscious is what one usually calls 'inspiration.'
Leon Trotsky
Image
Life is beautiful. Let the future generations cleanse it of all evil, oppression, and violence, and enjoy it to the full.
Leon Trotsky
Image
Fascism is nothing but capitalist reaction...
Leon Trotsky
Image
In 1917 there was not a single Bolshevik who considered possible the realization of a socialist society in a single country, and least of all in Russia.
