As long as human labor power, and, consequently, life itself, remain articles of sale and purchase, of exploitation and robbery, the principle of the “sacredness of human life” remains a shameful lie, uttered with the object of keeping the oppressed slaves in their chains.
Leon Trotsky
Image

Leon Trotsky
Image
From being a patriotic myth, the Russian people have become an awful reality.
Leon Trotsky
Image
There are no absolute rules of conduct, either in peace or war. Everything depends on circumstances.
Leon Trotsky
Image
It is also false that the revolution ripens and comes to development only in the national soil.
Leon Trotsky
Image
Let us not forget that revolutions are accomplished through people, although they be nameless. Materialism does not ignore the feeling, thinking, and acting man, but explains him.
Leon Trotsky
Image
You are pitiful isolated individuals you are bankrupts your role is played out. Go where you belong from now on - into the dustbin of history!
Leon Trotsky
Image
Is it possible to fulfill this task, is it possible to achieve the definite victory of Socialism in one country without the combined efforts of the proletarians of several advanced countries? No, it is impossible.
Leon Trotsky
