eagerly awaiting the troll comments in 3…2…1…

I don’t really envision myself as one of those troll personages, deviate, so we’ll have to assume a rational middle-ground.
As evil as the fascists were, Trotsky et al represented the opposite side of the same murderous coin. Please don’t imagine him as a Utopian saviour, anymore than Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot or Mao were.
Thanks all the same, enigma.

My two cents;
A better read would have to be “The Devil in History: Communism, Fascism, and Some Lessons of the Twentieth Century” by Vladimir Tismaneanu.
I find it hard to read a book from Trotsky about the evils of Fascism. It would like reading a book on the evils of Wal-Mart written by Jeff Bezos.

I’ll just leave this here…

Trotsky was a notorious murderous fascist.
Together with Lenin he killed millions of people.
If he wanted to fight fascism it would be enough to commit suicide.

That technically isn’t true… since there wasn’t ‘millions’ dead in the revolution. Then there’s the civil wars, which in what universe did you think the hands of opposing side was light? If you consider the atrocities… that’s Stalin.

A far more interesting read would be to do a search on how old Leon Trotsky was killed…
Stalin was a real bastard but he sure got that one right!

Any political idealism that lacks the basis for–and leaves no room for–human dignity is doomed to the radicalization of its adherents, manifested in bloody atrocities and ultimately ending in disillusionment. Realizing that other people have rights, being willing to respect their rights, and recognizing that there is such a thing as inherent natural rights to begin with, speaks of a self-representative Democratic Republican Federalism.

No political movement believes itself to not respect human dignity. They define human dignity in different ways. Fascism defines dignity in relation to nationalism and submission to a leader who has the best interests of the nation at its focus. Fascism usually rises out of varoius crises and fear, where people long to regain some dignity the perceive as lost. Communism focuses on the dignity of the working class, and the joint ownership of business by the people who work in/at that business. It is dangerous to look at some political movement we don’t like and ascribe to them all the evil motives, or claim their outcome is inevitable due to some existential flaw. All these movements make some sense to people at the time. We need to better understand the reasons for these things and seek to channel the good elements in them all.

@Jiminy Cricket - Agreed. Such Utopian thinkers had nothing but contempt for “ordinary” people even though they wielded absolute power in their name. The individual and indiviual human lives had no value for ideological purists like Trotsky. He anticipated that the enemies of the regime would have to be thrown to the wolves in a ceaseless process of permanent revolution. And convenient enemies were to be found everywhere, to serve as examples for the laggards.
Whether you’re murdered by a fascist or a communist the outcome is still the same, you’re just as dead.
Fascism merely had a lower body count.
With the abandonment of objective moral values and the nihilistic ethical vacuum which remained, it was quickly filled with stupid, homicidal ideology. If everything is based on this empty materialism then human life has no value and can be discarded in the name of “progress”. Put these disgusting fanatics where they belong, in the cesspit of history.
(Thanks for the recommendation, ralphdmann).

Odd that one of the most notorious fascists in history would point the finger. However you dress them up, no matter what “ideology” they espouse, it’s all the same totalitarian lust for control and power over other that always ends in genocide and failure

How to prevent government control through government control. Sounds promising.
July 10th, 2018
No Keithmh, you misunderstand. Trotsky was for “benign” governmental control, for which the many millions were thankful. And, in due course, very, very dead.

“How to prevent government control through government control. Sounds promising.”
Hurrdurrrrr.
Government (in the case of many of us, democratic government) control, or corporate control. Pick one. Power vacuums are always filled. You can take leadership that you have a stake and part in (and work to improve that aspects of it which you do not like), or leadership by profiteers who see you as a slave. Hmm, such a dilemma…
Enjoy the midterms. Mueller sends his regards. :)

Say what you will about the evils of fascism, but if it were me? Id be more interested in fighting the thing thats most likely to get me stabbed in the head with an ice pick. I guess I am weird like that…

I’d suggest reading Wikipedia page about Trotsky first, because some comm enters are commenting from propaganda perspectives in their heads:
For example:
“After leading a failed struggle of the Left Opposition against the policies and rise of Joseph Stalin in the 1920s and against the increasing role of bureaucracy in the Soviet Union.”
“Trotsky’s ideas formed the basis of Trotskyism, a major school of Marxist thought that opposes the theories of Stalinism. (…) Advocating political revolution, and arguing that socialism cannot sustain itself without democracy.”

It’s fascinating that on a site devoted to offering free knowledge you still end up with people making incredibly belligerent comments that demonstrate complete ignorance towards the subject matter based entirely upon previously held biases.
Fascinating.
