*From HistoMat- In Defense Of Leon Trotsky- A Guest Commentary

Click on title to link to HistoMat's entry. As I have noted before Leon Trotsky is in need of no revolutionary certificate of good conduct, his defiant record speaks for itself. However, we do have a duty to defend his name against the Stalinist, bourgeois and other slanderers who to this day stand in fear of his legacy. But, a more fitting way to defend the name of Leon Trotsky is to fight for and be victorious with more Octobers. That would be enough vindication for him, I am sure.
