Featured Article: Trotskyism

Trotskyism is the theory of Marxism as advocated by Leon Trotsky. Trotsky considered himself an orthodox Marxist and Leninist, arguing for the establishment of a vanguard party which would use "any means necessary" to impose socialism. However, his politics differed sharply from those of Stalin by focusing on supporting the international communist revolution as opposed to building the industrial and military foundations of the Soviet Union itself. Trotskyism became synonymous with treason in the Soviet Union during the 1930s, when Trotsky declared the Soviet Union to be a "degenerated" socialist state whose bureaucracy had created a new ruling class which was exploiting its workers. Trotsky was murdered in 1940 in Mexico.
