The United States is not only the strongest, but also the most terrified country.
Leon Trotsky
Image
Man will become immeasurably stronger, wiser, and subtler his body will become more harmonious, his movements more rhythmic, his voice more musical.

Leon Trotsky
Image
Terror, as the demonstration of the will and strength of the working class, is historically justified, precisely because the proletariat was able thereby to break the political will of the intelligentsia, pacify the professional man of various categories and work, and gradually subordinate them to its own aims within the field of their specialties.
Leon Trotsky
Image
There is no justice in bureaucracy for the individual, for bureaucracy caters only to itself. One cannot practice the same bureaucracy as one is fighting against.
Leon Trotsky
Image
Insurrection is an art, and like all arts has its own laws.
Leon Trotsky
Image
If you cannot convince a Fascist, acquaint his head with the pavement.
Leon Trotsky
Image
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
Image
Ideas that enter the mind under fire remain there securely and for ever.
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

Workers – men and women – of all countries, place yourselves under the banner of the Fourth International. It is the banner of your approaching victory!
