Leon Trotsky
Everything is relative in this world, where change alone endures.
Leon Trotsky
He who slanders the victim aids the executioner.
Leon Trotsky
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
