Stalin ordered the hit on Trotsky because of Stalin’s lust for power and because Trotsky dared to break ranks and remained critical of him.

Trotsky was writing his biography of Stalin when he was attacked. There was blood all over the manuscript.

The book had to be published by a small press in paperback because the big publishers in New York were so infested with Communists that they refused to publish it. The same thing happened to George Orwell’s Animal Farm.

A few years later, of course, the same people were screaming about “blacklists” and “censorship.”

So a minor mafia chief is killed on the orders of the big boss. A fitting end to such scum.

Socialism needs democracy like the human body needs oxygen.

The people who cast the votes decide nothing.
The people who count the votes decide everything.

No, this is all wrong- it is Bush’s fault (sarc).

He never saw his native Barcelona again, despite pleas for help to return made to Dolores Ibárrui – La Pasionaria – and to the then-leader of the Spanish Communist Party, Santiago Carrillo.


Typical libtard losers reaction for worldism. They also want Guantanamo terrorists to live free in America “just like the rest of us”.

They are delusional slaves going after “looks of freedom” while they carry out their subserviant Nazi orders.

Trotsky believed that communism was universal and needed to be exported beyond its birthplace. Stalin wanted to use it as a tool to govern Russia (and its satellites). Trotsky could have challenged Joe’s position as pater-familias, so he had to die.
