On Standing Army - Lenin vs. Trotsky - Paperback

by Erdogan A (Author)

Lenin vs Trotsky on Standing Army, The fact is that Trotsky never believed in the possibility of Socialism, not only in one country, but socialism in general since there is no possibility of a world revolution at one leap, at one strike. Trotsky believed in Military dictatorship of an elite group, not as much different than that of Mussolini's or Hitler's with exporting "revolutions" in mind. For Trotsky working class is a means to the military dictatorship of elite not the dictatorship of working class.
