Answer 1

lol

thugs?
non-philosophical?

have you even read Marx, Lenin, Trotsky's works?

I admittedly haven't read Lenin or Trosky-- and I wouldn't mind hearing WHY one is "better" than the other~ not because some guy on a website is still living in the McCarthy era.

From what I understand, by way of some friends, Trotsky is either a genius or a cop-out. When Lenin died Trotsky ditched the USSR, he formed theories that were more idealistic-- that centered on the necessity of advanced industrial capitalism (like 1st world countries) before a communist revolution.

Which means he distanced himself from Stalin's methods and has become more popular recently, due to both everyone's hatred of Stalin, and the desire to revolutionize the 1st world.

Gramsci has met with similar treatment by hardcore communists-- some don't think he is one.

The bias against Trotsky is that he excludes agrarian revolutions as viable-- as if peasants must be exploited even more than what they suffer in order to have a "true" and lasting proletarian revolution. This wasn't the case with Mao, not in Cuba, nor recently in Nepal.

Trotsky, would be critical of all these revolutions, I believe (again this is just BS heresay I think to be the case). Lenin was making the less-than-ideal work for Russia, when he died Trotsky fled. Stalin was a pig for hunting him down.

Answer 2

Karl Marx is German from the Western area close to France. I ignore which city his house is in yet I visited it on an identical time as in Germany. Lenin is actual Russian, from what area i'm uncertain of off of the proper of my head. Russia has continually been super with a mixture of cultures. i'm uncertain approximately Trotsky yet i might ought to assert from someplace in Russia additionally.

Answer 3

Finally, a question about the Motherland! Lenin's enthusiasm provided an outlet for many Trotsky's concepts, so to say that either was more significant is backward.

Answer 4

They're both just economically-illiterate thugs posing as grandiose political philosophers. Their writings and ideas have caused the world incalculable suffering and death. That people still give their ideas any credence at all is scary.
