Top 10 most inspiring quotes by Leon Trotsky
- The end may justify the means as long as there is something that justifies the end.
- Everything is relative in this world, where change alone endures.
- Let a man find himself, in distinction from others, on top of two wheels with a chain – at least in a poor country like Russia – and his vanity begins to swell out like his tires. In America it takes an automobile to produce this effect.
- Everyone has the right to be stupid on occasion, but Comrade Macdonald abuses the privilege.
- There are no absolute rules of conduct, either in peace or war. Everything depends on circumstances.
- If we had more time for discussion we should probably have made a great many more mistakes.
- England is nothing but the last ward of the European madhouse, and quite possibly it will prove to be the ward for particularly violent cases.
- Where force is necessary, there it must be applied boldly, decisively and completely. But one must know the limitations of force; one must know when to blend force with a maneuver, a blow with an agreement.
- In a country where the sole employer is the State, opposition means death by slow starvation. The old principle: who does not work shall not eat, has been replaced by a new one: who does not obey shall not eat.
- Abusive language and swearing are a legacy of slavery, humiliation, and disrespect for human dignity, one’s own and that of other people.
Leon Trotsky was a Russian Marxist revolutionary and theorist, who played a pivotal role in the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917. Born Lev Davidovich Bronstein on November 7, 1879, in Yanovka, Ukraine, he joined the Social Democratic Labor Party in 1898 and became a leading figure in the Bolshevik faction.
In 1917, Trotsky played a key role in the Bolshevik seizure of power and was appointed Commissar of Foreign Affairs in the new government. He later became the founder and commander of the Red Army, which helped to secure the Bolshevik victory in the Russian Civil War.
Despite his contributions to the revolution, Trotsky was eventually expelled from the Communist Party by Joseph Stalin in 1927 and later exiled from the Soviet Union. He continued to write and advocate for the overthrow of Stalin and the spread of socialism, and was assassinated by a Stalinist agent in Mexico City in 1940. Trotsky’s ideas and writings continue to be influential in left-wing politics around the world.
