	Trotsky - Search View - MSN Encarta
		A classical Marxist, Trotsky was deeply committed to the main tenet of Marxism—the theory of world revolution—and he saw social upheaval as global, rather than local or national, in scope.
		For Trotsky, the success of the Bolshevik revolution was a necessary part of the process of world revolution, and thus he did not shy away from the use of violence against the Bolsheviks’ opponents.
		Trotsky and his colleagues in the Communist Party leadership failed to realize the implications of Stalin's control over the party apparatus until it was too late, and by 1929 Stalin was close to assuming absolute power.

	Leon Trotsky
		Trotsky and the Soviets challenged the power of Nicholas II and attempted to enforce promises made in the October Manifesto such as the freedom of the press, assembly and association.
		Trotsky was now seen as one of the most important figures in the Russian revolutionary movement and Vladimir Lenin asked Lev Kamenev to try and persuade him to join the Bolsheviks.
		Trotsky himself believed that his greatest significance, his greatest value, consisted not in his physical life, not in his epic deeds, which overshadow those of all heroic figures in history in their sweep and their grandeur-but in what he would leave behind him after the assassins had done their work.

		Trotsky organized the Red Army during Russia's Civil War (he was previously given credit for organizing the October Revolution). He managed to bring many Tsarist officers into the Red Army, giving them much needed military experience. His excellent strategies proved successful.

		Trotsky's role, although important, was primarily to give motivational speeches to the troops and party cadres and to be the liaison with the government in Moscow.
		The life of Trotsky is a tragedy, the story of a man with great potential, who used it to create one of the most evil regimes in human history, and in the end he is consumed by it.

		Trotsky, aware of the fact that in 19th century Europe the solution of the national question in a heterogeneous nation had led to truncation and the setting up of small independent states, still held the opinion that in South Africa likewise the foundation of separate white and fl states might be a possibility.
		This basic attitude of Trotsky’s was in keeping with Lenin’s viewpoint that the right of peoples to self-determination leading to national independence had to be supported by Socialists as a stepping-stone to proletarian internationalism.
		(11) Trotsky did not realize that the fls were in no position to call for the foundation of an independent national state since the destruction of their traditional societies had not left them with any option to evolve new economic, political, and cultural institutions of their own.
