>>50087381Nah, you read something into what I said that wrong, I'm not making a martyr out of Trotsky. I detest communists and communism, especially the Soviets.
It was a statement of agreement with you, Stalin wanted to build up Russia and the Soviet Republics, not go on this big marry chase of creating communism around the world like Trotsky wanted. That's part of why Trotsky created the Red Army.
Yes, I'm aware, Trotsky had a hand in collectivization and it was an idea of his that was co-opted by Stalin during their fight for power.
