The Revolution Betrayed and Other Works by Leon Trotsky
Leon Trotsky (1879-1940) was a Soviet revolutionary and one of the key figures in the October revolution. In "The Revolution Betrayed," Leon Trotsky critiques the Soviet Union under Stalin, asserting that the 1917 October Revolution's aims for a workers' state were compromised. He argues that socialism and democracy were abandoned as Stalin's bureaucratic elite suppressed dissent and consolidated control. Trotsky highlights the USSR's isolation and failure to spread international revolution, portraying the regime as totalitarian and prioritizing state control over proletarian needs. This disenfranchised the working class and persecuted real revolutionaries. Trotsky also discusses bureaucracy's negative impact on innovation and genuine socialist democracy, urging a return to true Marxist principles.
