More quotes by Leon Trotsky
Tell me anyway--Maybe I can find the truth by comparing the lies.
Leon Trotsky
Simultaneously the Left Opposition in the course of several years carried on a struggle against the Stalinists in favor of collectivization.
Leon Trotsky
It is also false that the revolution ripens and comes to development only in the national soil.
Leon Trotsky
Fascism is nothing but capitalist reaction...
Leon Trotsky
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.
Leon Trotsky
Everything is relative in this world, where change alone endures.
Leon Trotsky
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.
Leon Trotsky
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

For the victory are necessary, not only certain objective conditions, internal as well as external, but also certain subjective factors - the Party, the leadership, the strategy.
Leon Trotsky
The fundamental flaw of vulgar thought lies in the fact that it wishes to content itself with motionless imprints of a reality which consists of eternal motion.
Leon Trotsky
Where the sole employer is the state, [opposition] means death by slow starvation.
Leon Trotsky
The party that leans upon the workers but serves the bourgeoisie, in the period of the greatest sharpening of the class struggle, cannot but sense the smells wafted from the waiting grave.
Leon Trotsky
The struggle against war and its social source, capitalism, presupposes direct, active, unequivocal support to the oppressed colonial peoples in their struggles and wars against imperialism. A 'neutral' position is tantamount to support of imperialism.
Leon Trotsky
Ideas that enter the mind under fire remain there securely and for ever.
Leon Trotsky
As for us, we were never concerned with the Kantian-priestly and vegetarian-Quaker prattle about the sacredness of human life. We were revolutionaries in opposition, and have remained revolutionaries in power. To make the individual sacred we must destroy the social order which crucifies him. And this problem can only be solved by blood and ir
Leon Trotsky
Insurrection is an art, and like all arts has its own laws.
Leon Trotsky
The people will have the right to elect their representatives from a list of candidates [who have been approved by the Party].
Leon Trotsky
Once again, he who ignores the problems of revolutionary strategy would do better not to talk about revolutions at all.
Leon Trotsky
