was Leon Trotsky bad?

Question

i can't understand if he's bad or not like Stalin was

Answer 1

Trotsky was not as bad as Lenin, who felt threatened by him, or Stalin, who had him murdered; perhaps he was not bad at all. The world would certainly have a different history had Trotsky succeeded Lenin, rather than Stalin, of whom Lenin did not approve, but who he was unable to deal with because of his incapacities in his later years.

Answer 2

Leon Trotsky was against the totalitarian regime of Stalin. He pursued a democratic system, based in the "soviets", a sort of working place council. The idea is to turn the working class into the ruling class, by overthrowing the capitalists from the government. As you can see, it couldn't have been any more different than stalinism.

For ignorant users: you could at least check at wiki, or something like that, before making a statement on an issue you do not know anything about. Think about it, you may be thinking with the wrong part of your body.

Answer 3

Of course he was. Don't let the naked revisionism by the Useful Idiots here fool you; Trotsky was no less a mass-murdering, powercrazed totalitarian tyrant than Lenin, Stalin and literally every other Communist dictator.

The only difference is, Trotsky was betrayed, and early on, so the Useful Idiots have attempted to fashion him into a Golden Calf, to go along with the flagrant revisionist lie that Stalin was not a "true" Communist, and that Communism would have been an amazing utopia if only the "right" people were in charge. But of course, like all "Top Men" fallacies, Trotsky was every bit the mass murdering tyrant.

Answer 5

Leon Trotsky destructive Joseph Stalin. With the cave in of the Soviet Union in 1991, info from the Soviet archives grew to alter into available. the government archives checklist that approximately 800,000 prisoners have been accomplished (for the two political or criminal offences) below Stalin, whilst yet another a million.7 million died of privation or different reasons in the Gulags and a few 389,000 perished for the period of kulak resettlement - a entire of roughly 3 million sufferers. So Trotsky became needed for opposing all that.

Answer 6

Leon Trotsky was bad at politics.

He could lead an army, he could rouse the people into angry mobs but he couldn't make the right political move if it killed him -and it did.

If Trotsky took power the USSR would never of formed, and Communist Russia would have been a LOT more aggressive. Stalin was actually an isolationist for a while and Trotsky would have been aggressively supporting communist revolutions everywhere he could.

Put it this way, Trotsky could lead, he was good at that, but he couldn't let his pride and arrogance stand aside.

Answer 7

I suggest you go to the library and ask for a biography of Leon Trotsky. Regardless of how 'bad' he might have been, he was a key player in the Russian Revolution and one of the most interesting political personages of the last century.

Answer 8

Trotsky was imprisoned in Mexico and lived very comfortably there. He was killed by a Soviet agent, an axe was buried in his head. Stalin could not abide a rival like Trotsky.

Answer 9

They say that Trotsky's ambition was every bit as towering as Stalin's,but Trotsky didn't have Stalin's cruel streak
